Fingerprint SDK java 2009 and Ubuntu 9.04

Hello, your help is really appreciate it.

I am developing a desktop java application under ubuntu 9.04 using Fingerprint SDK java 2009 , as a root everything works fine... The "Sensor: :Event: Plugged" event / onSensorPlug event is happening.

But odly when i create a user (and added this user to several groups, adm, dbus...etc, dll files has all permission) the event onSensorPlug is not called with the same exact application.

I got no error what so ever....but sensor remains off.

What am i missing? Please help. Thanks again

It seems to be a permission problem on fingerprint interface. I suggest you to check the USB device (in /dev directory) which is connected to your fingerprint reader and check which groups has access to it. This is described on manual: the Fingerprint SDK Java-based application must have read-write access to the file representing the fingerprint reader in udev or usbfs filesystems.
Check http://www.griaulebiometrics.com/page/manual/fingerprint-sdk-java/installing/fingerprint-readers-installation for details.
Cordially,
