[Thinkfinger-devel] gnome/command line sudo

[Brian Helm]

I'm running ubuntu Feisty Herd 5 on T60. Everything appears to work
fine, but I'm having a problem after I use sudo on the command line.
I'm able to run the command just fine and go about my business, but
after if I log out or use an application with gksudo/gksu, I don't get a
prompt to swipe my finger. What's interesting is, if I just press enter
at the password prompt, logging in/opening an application will fail
(which is excpected); but if I try again, I get the prompt to scan my
finger. I have confirmed that this isn't a fluke. This is how it works
every time after I use sudo on the command line.

Hi Brian,

Sorry for the lag.

You probably want to investigate by using the current version from SVN
and the 'debug' parameter of the PAM module. Have a look at README and
INSTALL for further information how to enable the debug option.

This will most likely give some more hints about what is going wrong.

Thanks,

Timo
