Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
I have a toshiba laptop with a built-in fingerprint reader. I have
installed the thinkfinger module and configured PAM to allow logging in
to the system by swiping my finger. this works great. when i initially
start the system, the GDM login screen comes up with a message "Enter
your password or swipe your finger". if swipe my finger, I'm logged in
and taken to my Gnome desktop. However if I enter my password, GDM
returns to the same password entry screen, but instead of "Enter your
password or swipe your finger", i get just "Enter your password"
message. If i enter my password the second time, I'm then taken to the
gnome desktop, as expected. Also after GDM returns the second time with
"Enter your password" message, swiping my finger no longer works.
Please feel free to contact me for any additional info needed to fix
this problem.
Thanks
