Package: gdm3 Version: 43.0-3 Severity: important Tags: upstream I wanted to try out the fingerprint reader in my laptop and installed fprintd (but not libpam-fprintd yet). I also did not yet configure any fingerprints.
However after a reboot I could no longer login (I could still unlock the screen before the reboot). The system journal says: +--- | Feb 16 09:35:34 gdm-fingerprint][1708]: PAM unable to dlopen(pam_fprintd.so): /lib/security/pam_fprintd.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | Feb 16 09:35:34 gdm-fingerprint][1708]: PAM adding faulty module: pam_fprintd.so | Feb 16 09:35:34 gdm-fingerprint][1708]: gkr-pam: no password is available for user | Feb 16 09:35:34 gdm-fingerprint][1716]: PAM unable to dlopen(pam_fprintd.so): /lib/security/pam_fprintd.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | Feb 16 09:35:34 gdm-fingerprint][1716]: PAM adding faulty module: pam_fprintd.so | Feb 16 09:35:34 gdm-fingerprint][1716]: gkr-pam: no password is available for user +--- There was no prompt for the password at all: I chose my user and was returned back to the user selection. I logged in via getty and installed libpam-fprintd and could login again. GDM should not make login impossible when fprintd is installed and libpam-fprintd is not. Login via password should still be possible in this case. I also noticed that for some reason there is a "]" after "gdm-fingerprint" and before the PID in the log. That might also be a minor bug.
