Description Benjamin Kramer 2007-11-05 20:16:25 UTC

Hi,

I have a LenovoT61, and want to use the fingerprint.
The fingerprint works perfect at the console (STRG+ALT+F1), but not on KDE (incl. KDM).
I am not able to login via KDM, YAST or to the Screensaver. Nothing happens, I have to use my password to login.

IIRC there is no KDE support yet?

Comment 2 Timo Hoenig 2007-11-27 09:58:38 UTC

Right, there KDE is missing support for PAM modules like pam_thinkfinger.  There's nothing I can do about it.

Stephan, if the KDE team is going to fix this, please contact me as there are upcoming changes for fingerprint reader support.

Comment 3 Dirk Mueller 2007-11-30 16:20:24 UTC

any chance of test hardware?

You can fetch hardware here from us, we have enough :)

Comment 6 Dirk Mueller 2008-03-14 14:50:54 UTC

forwardport for KDM4 coming for 11.0.

Comment 7 Carlos Lange 2008-04-10 18:17:33 UTC

Can we have backport to 10.3?

Comment 8 Timo Hoenig 2008-05-19 09:20:45 UTC

Dirk, I've submitted kdebase3 +kpamgreeter.diff + use-pam-before-classic.diff to STABLE.

With kdmrc:PluginsLogin=pam it is now possible to login using the fingerprint reader, however locking the screen fails: 'Will not lock session, as unlocking would be impossible: No appropriate greeter plugin configured'.

Comment 10 Benjamin Kramer 2008-06-05 22:43:23 UTC

Will the fingerprint authentication work in the kdm (KDE4) or screensaver(KDE4) on the new OpenSuse 11? It would also nice when I can see my fingerprint after authentication on the screen like on windows.

Thx for your work

Comment 11 Petr Baudis 2008-06-30 08:46:50 UTC

Unlocking the screen in KDE3 still fails using the fingerprint.
