Hi, thanks for the tip, but unfortunately I had tried this, and it still does not work. When trying the biometric scan, in the screen lock, I get the following error in my logs: Jan 16 08:47:54 DeepThought pam_bioapi[9493]: Unable to load BioAPI BSP with UUID of {5550454b-2054-464d-2f45-535320425350}, BioAPI error #194d. Research for error #194d had revealed that it is a permissions error to the user that is trying to access the biometric profile. I suspect that the lock screen part of DR17 is running as another user. I did try to chmod 777 the biometric profile, to test, but it had no effect. > > Knowing that a rebuild from CVS could break when I try to do an update > > (which is a problem when trying to meet a deadline), I always keep a spare > > 4 > > gig partition to which I first mirror my base install, and then do the CVS > > build on that.
