🛠️ Scripts

1. 🖐️ fingerprintfixer.sh - Fingerprint Setup Tool

Auto-configures fingerprint authentication for ThinkPad sensors using python-validity.

Features:

• Auto-detects distro (Ubuntu/Fedora/Arch)
• Installs python-validity PPA packages
• Fixes PAM configuration for sudo/login/lock screen
• Handles keyring auto-unlock
• Works with Validity fingerprint sensors

Usage:

chmod +x fingerprintfixer.sh
sudo ./fingerprintfixer.sh

Pick option 1 for full setup, then scan your finger 5 times.

Fix Keyring Unlock Issue: If you get password popup after fingerprint login, run:

rm ~/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyring

Then LOGOUT and LOGIN with PASSWORD (not fingerprint). After that, fingerprint will auto-unlock keyring!

Tested: Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Kali Linux, Zorin OS
