Comment 11 for bug 346083

Just wanted to confirm the software from the ppa runs correctly using an AuthenTec AES2501, Bus 004 Device 003: ID 08ff:2580 AuthenTec, Inc. AES2501 Fingerprint Sensor.

Running Lucid updated today.

Two things tho:

1) Fprint_demo doesn't have access to the scanner - needs access to the correct USB device, in my case it says:

libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/004/003: Permission denied.
libusb requires write access to USB device nodes.

That doesn't matter much tho, since it seems the "About me" way of doing things stores the fingerprints elsewhere than fprint-demo, so no permission "fix" is needed then.

2) Because of 1), when using the about me method, there is only enrollment. I think the program should ask at least twice when enrolling using the About Me method, and try and verify if the two scans match eachother, and if so, accept the fingerprints.

That is sort of a upstream whishlist question tho:)
