Fedora 12

Well, I’m coming to you from a freshly installed Fedora 12 laptop. It’s currently in Alpha, but personally it feels much more like Beta software, nice job guys, really nice job. This is certainly going to be my upgrade path from Fedora 10.

There are a few bugs here and there, for example AVC errors during install from the live CD which I believe is an SELinux alerter.

Well, my note for today is how to enable finger print login.

So, I heard Fedora 12 has fingerprint login, so how do I enable this I thought. Well, the laptop is a Lenovo 3000 n200 which has a fingerprint reader built in.

I had a look around, and here is how I enabled my fingerprint to login:

1) Goto System -> Preferences -> About Me
2) Click Enable Fingerprint Login…
3) On the wizard, choose the finger to register and click Forward
4) Swipe the chosen finger then click Forward and then Close

When it comes to logging in, click your username, then on the next screen click the icon that looks like a hand, then swipe the registered finger.

Job done.
