          Ubuntu 18.04 defaults to using a swap file instead of the previous method of having a dedicated swap partition. This makes it easier to partition new installations of 18.04 than it was before.



          Assuming you are going to do a fresh installation of 18.04, and also assuming you aren't trying to dual-boot with this same drive, here's what you should do:



          1) Boot to a Ubuntu 18.04 installer (probably using a usb drive)



          2) Delete the three existing partitions from your hard drive /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, and /dev/sda3.



          3) Create one new partition /dev/sda1 that uses all the available space. Make the new partition primary (not extended), format it as ext4, and have it mount the root of the system (/).



          4) Install ubuntu, selecting to put the bootloader on /dev/sda

          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...
