Unable to use fingerprint sensor on asus vivobook pro
I have an asus vivobook pro with ubuntu 17.10 installed, i spent days trying to figure out how to set up and use the fingerprint scanner. Both fingerprint-gui and fprint don't see any device available. This is the output of lsusb:
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 8087:0a2b Intel Corp.

Did you check your BIOS/UEFI settings for a checkoff to perhaps enable the fingerprint sensor?
