https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675377 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675377#c0 Summary: Fingerprint based authentication hangs when coming from screen-lock / stand by Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: RC 2 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Keywords: security Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: edykory@yahoo.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Beta-Customer Blocker: No I have a Dell Latitude D630 with a finger print reader. 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.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in openSUSE since the time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a current, supported openSUSE version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly reopen this bug and move it to the tested version of openSUSE. Truly yours. -- 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.
