Does it work with linux like Ubuntu or Mint?

I haven't personally tried it, but the way to find out would be to compile and install libfprint, using the "--with-drivers=all" flag in the configure command line to ensure that any drivers that support the reader are built.Then, use either fprint_daemo or Fingerprint GUI to test the functionality.Good luck.

I do not use Linux but it does work perfectly with Windows XP and Windows 7. There were no problems installing it and still use it on one of my computers.

I have not used it with Linux. I have used it with Win7 and Win Server 2008. It uses "Realtek" technology, if that helps. It should work with Linux.

I also can't answer at this moment. It doesn't work yet because I'm fighting against Win8 and it's hardware to install Linux.

I am sure it does as it works out of the box with ubuntu 14.xx and i think mint usesthe ubuntu base

It works on my Mint computer so I'm almost absolutely sure it'll be compatible with Ubuntu. It's a very simple input device, no drivers needed.

Yes. Use the app solaar to manage the device under linux. Google it for the PPA.

It should treat the box as an external sound card. In this case, it should work. Linux has OOB drivers, unlike Windows and the need to download and install drivers. This being said, it should work with Linux.

It depends which features you need. It does not have a Linux driver, and does not support all the same features in Mac OS and Windows.

I am wondering the same thing. I will be using the most recent release of either CentOS or Ubuntu and I would hate to find out it doesn't work on Linux.

Absolutely. I bought this item because it works great with both Windows and Linux. Well worth it. I need to buy another one because I gave this one away to one of my students.

It should work, if it works with other USB devices, i don't see why it wouldn't. Sorry if I am incorrect. I personally don't use linux. I use Windows 8.

I don't know anything about Ubuntu, I just know it works with my Android machine fine. Maybe somebody else will be able to help you.

Don't Know for sure, I would assume it would have support as long as you have your service packs up to date sp1,2,3. I run Linux Mint 17 64bit Mate desktop with no problems.

I think it does, worst case scenario it doesn't work and you send it back to the seller. I wouldn't though as it worked on 3 different hard drives I used it on and I was able to get all my data. None were Linux but they were all different and it worked on all of them.

This answer is a little late, but i have used this with Linux Mint 13 and 17 with no problems at all. In fact this card worked when I could not get some others to. Very good piece of equipment, connects immediately and stays connected with a strong signal. But the external antenna is a pain in the ***, however it also gives you flexibility when looking for the right spot to get the most signal strength without having to move your computer around.
