according to http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_enable_the_fingerprint_reader_with_ThinkFinger #gnome-screensaver it is not just a libpam link problem. gnome- screensaver doesn't run as root and that's why thinkfinger doesn't work with it.
In the link above there is a workaround but I can't confirm it works. I tested it and gnome-screensaver won't unlock with my fingerprint. But I didn't check twice, i don't have that time. This is just a clue in case someone missed this link. regards, Olivier -- (gutsy) lock screen doesn't seem to use pam https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138957 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
