Public bug reported: The fingerprint configuration UI in GNOME Settings is currently unavailable for users managed by authd, though fingerprint setup still works via fprintd-* command line tools.
As mentioned in the Ubuntu 26.04 roadmap discussion, the UI should be enabled for authd-managed users to provide a consistent user experience. https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-26-04-lts-the-roadmap/72740/13 Steps to reproduce: 1. Have a system with authd managing users 2. Open GNOME Settings → Users 3. Try to configure fingerprint authentication 4. Observe that the option is unavailable Expected behavior: Fingerprint setup should be available in the UI for authd-managed users, just as it is for traditionally managed users. It is also important to understand that fprintd must be controlled by authd, since when disabling or blocking an authd user, fprintd must also be disabled for this user. ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: authd fingerprint ui -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2133196 Title: Fingerprint setup UI unavailable for authd-managed users To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/2133196/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
