I am using ubuntu 18.04 on HP ProBook 4540s.
Following is the output of lsusb :



Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0cf3:311d Atheros Communications, Inc. 
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 04f2:b370 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd

Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub


I can't configure the fingerprint scanner (validity VFS491, as shown in the list above). I have tried fprintd, fingerprint etc available on help forums and on hp website. Nothing seems to be working. Any help?
