Package: thinkfinger-tools Version: 0.3~ppa3 Severity: important Tags: patch
The current prompt cause gksudo and gksu to hang waiting on a finger scan. This is known to upstream and I have no confidence that it will be addressed any time soon. In the meanwhile, I've got a patch to change the prompt if not displaying to a tty, often seen on thinkfinger-devel. It works well on my system. Though it's not obvious that gksudo and friends will accept a fingerprint, they do. Given that the patch is a hack around other software's bugs, a patch system might be in order to remove the patch should gksudo fix itself. I've got no preference for dpatch, it was merely the one I figured out how to use. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers gutsy-updates APT policy: (500, 'gutsy-updates'), (500, 'gutsy-security'), (500, 'gutsy-proposed'), (500, 'gutsy') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-12-generic (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages thinkfinger-tools depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-1ubuntu7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libthinkfinger0 0.3~ppa3 library for the STMicroelectronics ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-7 userspace USB programming library thinkfinger-tools recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
