[Bug 1310104] Re: No way to trigger fingerprint authentication on lock screen
I've got the same problem with Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS on ThinkPad x260 (default installation with Unity and Lightdm) Had to switch to an alternative implementation "fingerprint-gui" from https://launchpad.net/~fingerprint/+archive/ubuntu/fingerprint-gui The experience is much better. Specifically, pressing Escape on the Lock screen re-starts the fingerprint authentication. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310104 Title: No way to trigger fingerprint authentication on lock screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1310104/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Also confirming that 16.04.1 has the same issue. It's actually quite annoying in my case, because usually I never turn off my laptop, but just closing it's lid :-/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310104 Title: No way to trigger fingerprint authentication on lock screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1310104/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1310104] Re: No way to trigger fingerprint authentication on lock screen
I have the same issue. Not a solution, but a good work around for me was to turn on the onscreen keyboard in the universal access settings. This leads to a (fallback?) old school login screen which has no problem with the finger print reader. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310104 Title: No way to trigger fingerprint authentication on lock screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1310104/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same behaviour here, just as Rüdiger Kupper described it. I am also affected. Everything worked beautifully with Ubuntu 13.10. After the update to Ubuntu 14.04 (via dist-upgrade) the trouble with fprintd and lightdm started for me. My guess is: every person with a laptop with fingerprint-reader running Ubuntu 14.04 might be affected by this. What could I do, what files could I provide to help solve this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310104 Title: No way to trigger fingerprint authentication on lock screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1310104/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
