I've tried that patch, and it does seem to work. Great! However, it doesn't seem to work for the unlocking the lock screen (Unity GUI, Ubuntu 13.04). I have to type in a password to unlock it. I've seen bug reports about LDAP and the lock screen. But a fingerprint reader PAM (pam_fingerprint-gui)

I've sorted it out now. Sorry, I was doing something stupid. I had thought it was working but I was still actually running the original pam-blue. I thought it was working because I had solved a separate issue -- my Bluetooth device had a space in the name, and I couldn't figure out how to

Is pam_blue maintained? It's looking a bit dead at the moment. How can we contribute patches upstream or to continue development in Debian/Ubuntu? According to the Ubuntu package, the web site is http://pam.0xdef.net/ but that is not responding, at least not at the moment. Would it be possible to

Dear Craig As you'll see from the bug report, I found it easier to replace l2ping with hcitool. That worked for me, and I moved on. Kind regards -- Ross On 4/06/2013, at 11:36, Craig McQueen 912...@bugs.launchpad.net wrote: Is pam_blue maintained? It's looking a bit dead at the moment. How

Patching bluescan.c to follow hcitool rather than l2ping seems to work for both login and gnome-screensaver. The disadvantage that I can see is that there is no way to change the timeout. The patch is attached. ** Patch added: Patch bluescan.c to use hci_read_remote_name

OK, so this version of the patch to bluescan.c is fixed to handle error conditions gracefully { return(false) instead of exit(1) } and to report errors using syslog() Another strange point that I don't understand -- pam_blue, as compiled from the source package, expects its configuration files
