So I’ve downloaded a huge SCCM driver package, installed it and pointed Windows to look for drivers there. The installer would just quit with “Lenovo machines: Lenovo Touch Fingerprint Software cannot be installed on this machine.
#LENOVO T440 FINGERPRINT READER SOFTWARE WINDOWS 10 INSTALL#
I’ve ran into trouble when trying to install official fingerprint reader drivers from Lenovo website. Then go to virtual machine settings | USB and add “Validity Sensors, Inc.” device to the list. If not, you’ll need a Windows Virtualbox instance with USB pass-through enabled and Extension pack installed. If you have already used the reader before, chances are you’re good to go. Thus far this can only be done in Windows. The worst part of the procedure is to activate the device. UPD: Looks like now you can initialize the reader directly in Linux! The procedure to make it work is not very straightforward, so I’ve decided to document it here for posterity.įirst, let’s make sure we have the proper model of the reader:īus 001 Device 006: ID 138a:0090 Validity Sensors, Inc. Thankfully, Nikita Mikhailov started reverse engineering these sensors and that work has been adapted by Marco Trevisan to create a functional fprint driver for 2016 ThinkPads (including T460s). You know the story: the manufacturer (Validity, later bought by Synaptic) refuses to release the documentation and says they may release proprietary Linux driver someday. Lenovo ThinkPad T460s laptop has a built-in fingerprint reader, but unfortunately until recently there was no way to make it work.
