Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1314593
Login screen not responding to finger swipe.
Last modified: 2016-07-19 16:16:38 EDT
Description of problem: I recently loaded an HP NC6400 Compac Laptop with a built-in Authentec AES2501(B?) fingerprint scanner. I went to "Settings -> Users -> (username)" and enabled fingerprint authentication, enrolled my fingerprint, and acquired the "(or swipe finger)" displayed beneath the "Password:" and entry box, however that is all -- behaves as if no finger swipes occur and requires password logon. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Happens each time even after deleting and re-enrolling the fingerprint. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use a built-in USB fingerprint scanner. 2. Enroll a user's fingerprint in the dataset (/var/lib/fprint/(username). 3. Attempt to logon as user (username). Actual results: Option "(or swipe finger)" message displayed, but finger swipe(s) ignored. Expected results: Similar to actual results, but responding to finger swipes with a logon for the correct finger swipe, a error/reject message for the incorrect finger swipe, or acknowledge each swipe and, if flawed in some manor, request another swipe. Additional info:
