On Ubuntu 18.04, I recently installed Pantheon but then removed it and the PPAs using the appropriate method. However it now seems that the settings menu won't open, either from GUI or terminal. When I run gnome-control-center I get "Command not found but can be installed with..." and when I try to install it, I get "gnome-control-center is already the newest version". What's going on here? I already tried re-installing the ubuntu-desktop and apt dist-upgrade, apt autoremove and apt clean and still not luck.

          It turns out that doing apt remove gnome-control-center and apt install gnome-control-center fixes this.



          However when launching from terminal a Gtk message "Failed to load module 'pantheon-filename-module'" appears, so perhaps indicating an incomplete or incorrect clean-up.

I have also tried reinstall using aptitude. This does not work.

                    How to enroll fingerprints to Ubuntu 17.10 with VFS491

                    Image
                    Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 1 down vote favorite I decided to switch from Windows to Ubuntu 17.10, I meet it like 8 years ago and I didn't decided to switch until now (haha). Well, my actual device is an HP Probook 4540s with a Validity fingerprint sensor (VFS491). The fingerprint sensor worked fine on Windows but I can't get it to work in Ubuntu. The device is recognized as 138a:003d but is not detected as a fingerprint scanner by some apps like Fingerprint GUI. I want to use the fingerprint scanner to log in into my user account in Ubuntu but it doesn't supports fingerprints without special software and the drivers of the fingerprint scanner are available for Windows but not for any Linux distribution. I found something on GitHub (https://github.com/eekpie/libfprint) about the integration of the VFS491 in libfprint and I think it can help but I don't know what to do with it, so that's why I need the help of the community to do it since I am...
