Thanks for chiming in! I had already checked that, in fact I wrote the PAM-files for the screen lockers myself. It doesn't matter though, since pressing enter without typing a password works, as I said in my reply to Ralf. I'll be doing that from now on :) Cheers, Bennett -- GPG fingerprint: 871F 1047 7DB3 DDED 5FC4 47B2 26C7 E577 EF96 7808 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Not using fprint, but merely an idea (you have possibly already checked that): maybe the PAM-file for the screenlocker has a higher priority for passwords than for the fingerprint sensor while the rest has it the other way around. iirc this depends on the ordering of the corresponding modules in the respective PAM-files. ~ Jonas

Thanks a lot, I finally have a working setup now :) Curiosity didn't kill the cat, keep nurturing it ;) Cheers, Bennett -- GPG fingerprint: 871F 1047 7DB3 DDED 5FC4 47B2 26C7 E577 EF96 7808 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Unfortunately I can't help you, I'm just curious. If you type no password at all, just push enter, does the fingerprint check allow you to unlock the screen? Or doesn't it appear, if you just push enter without typing a password? Regards, Ralf
