 Posted: Mon Jan 18, 2010 11:39 pm Post subject: thinkfinger stopped working with gdm |
 |
|
| Code: | sys-auth/thinkfinger (0.3-r1@01/15/10)
gnome-base/gdm (2.20.10-r2@01/18/10) |
Thinkfinger used to work fine with gdm, but all of a sudden, it's not. I can finger-swipe successfully with tf-tool and console login, but gdm just ignores it.
Both packages built with pam flag enabled, "sufficient" entry in /etc/pam.d/system-auth. Both console login and gdm offer the "password or swipe" prompt.
Anyone seen anything like this? |

Solution is here:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=298459
and modified sys-auth/thinkfinger/files/60-thinkfinger.rules which fix some warning on new version of udev.
| Code: | #
# udev rules file for the thinkfinger fingerprint scanner
#
# gives access to the fingerprint reader to those in the "fingerprint" group
#
# Taken from:
# http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_enable_the_fingerprint_reader_with_ThinkFinger
# which was taken and modified from:
# http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.thinkfinger/329
#
# SGS Thomson Microelectronics Fingerprint Reader
ATTR{idVendor}=="0483", ATTR{idProduct}=="2016", SYMLINK+="input/thinkfinger-%k", MODE="0660", GROUP="fingerprint"
# the also-needed uinput device
KERNEL=="uinput", MODE="0660", GROUP="fingerprint"
