Description Dennis Conrad 2010-07-09 09:37:17 UTC 
Fingerprint authentication works fine in a non-X11 environment but in GNOME I need to press the return key either before or after swiping my finger to complete authentication.

I'm interesting fingerprint, how let it work in non-X11 environment.
Comment 2 Jan Dosoudil 2010-07-20 07:16:01 UTC 
Same in KDE 4.4.4.

Login: username, <RETURN>, <swipe finger>, <RETURN>
Unlock session: <swipe finger>, <RETURN>

In openSUSE 11.2 with KDE 4.4.x (from FACTORY Desktop repo) these works fine without last <RETURN>.


Login in bash:

login: username
Password or swipe finger: <swipe finger>

... and you are logged in. (no <RETURN> needed after <swipe finger>)
Comment 3 Dennis Conrad 2010-07-21 00:28:23 UTC 
Same problem with "su".  

In X11:

su - <return> <swipe finger> <return>

In console (no X11):

su - <return> <swipe finger>

this is true for fingerprint with GDM login too.  

click the user - hit return
system greys out user/password login 
as if it is waiting for a timeout to error out... 
if you swipe finger then it authenticates and logs in

if, on that GDM loging screen you just click and swipe it does nothing - and this use to be enough.

Comment 6 David Bahi 2010-07-23 20:00:05 UTC 
btw - the main text login screen (tty1) doesn't have this issue - but both the gnome terminal and GDM do:

> su - dbahi
Password or swipe finger: 
<swipe> <return>
Directory: /home/dbahi

<swipe> alone w/o the <return> just sits there as if nothing happened (but that is enough for the 11.3 tty1 login screen - and was enough for 11.2 GDM).
