  • Boot into Windows and shrink the Windows partition using Windows tools. Leave the space that is released as unallocated.


  • Boot into a live Ubuntu DVD or USB drive.


  • Use gparted to create or edit partitions (and use the unallocated drive space).


  • If there are still problems for gparted, please reboot instead of shut down Windows. This avoids [semi]hibernating, and the file system will be ready for the linux tools. Later on you can turn of Fast Startup in Windows, which makes it stop semihibernating.

            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...
