Hi, I am a graduated netphilosopher and free-software-activist from germany and gladly using KDE.
For starters: thanks for all your good work. I really enjoiy it. A KDE person recomended to write to this list about my question/bugreport. Here it comes: I use a lenovo X61 Thinkpad with fedora and KDE and there I have a fingerprintreader which is very handy. Nevertheless I chose to deactivate the function for the timebeing because of a bug. It should work this way: You can either type in the password or use your fingerprint for identification. Sadly this way it only works in the shell. Everywhere else the fingerprint is needed even if you type in the password. Therefore the password becomes useless, because only swiping the finger is sufficient. On the other hand, having only the password is not enough and still needs a swipe. I deactivated the funktion for two resons: 1. In case of an emergency I need the possibility to tell my friend the password so that he/she can access my computer without me being physically there. 2. If the swipe does not work for some reason (wounded finger, bug, or whatever) I am totally locked out of my computer. And I don't want to risk that. It's as simple as this: Swipe and passwort should be alternative, but they arent. Do you know about this bug already? Are you planning to fix it? (The Gnome-Users are starting to make fun of me, because Gnome seems to have no problem in this way.) Did you understand my description? I'm not very used in writing bugreports in english. If you have any questions, please ask. Thanks for your help and greetings, Leena PS: check out our project to unite all the free software social networking projects: socialswarm.net ---- www.leena.de @reticuleena www.socialswarm.net _______________________________________________ Kde-hardware-devel mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-hardware-devel
