Hi all! I just got a new (to me) used laptop (HP EliteBook 8530p) and find that it has a fingerprint reader. Wondering if it could be made to work for me (Centos-7) I did a lot of googling (well, actually duck-duck-go-ing) and found a ton of hits on either setting it up in Windoze, or others wondering if it can be used in Linux. Some info on setting it up in Ubuntu, and a couple of pages on setting it up in Fedora, pages that were ten years old, or so. Found an academic paper on a group that wrote portable tools in Java that allegedly enable it in a cross-platfor manner, but not the software itself. Does anyone here have any better information on if it is possible, and if so, how? thanks in advance!
