I activated it in Yast->Hardware and in User management. It works ok when logging in after reboot, but if the screen got locked (by me or after 15 mins), then it will only ask for password (not the fingerprint) and after inputting the right password it hangs indefinitely validating something. The workaround for me was to go to a screen console and 'kill -9' the process "/usr/bin/X :0 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-xxxxx/database -nolisten -tcp vtx". After disabling the fingerprint reader (in yast->hardware) everything went back to normal. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
