Package: libpam-thinkfinger Version: 0.3+rev118.2-4 Severity: important File: thinkfinger
I have installed thinkfinger an used this way to install it: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_enable_the_fingerprint_reader_with_ThinkFinger I configured it to work with root, my login (chris). I also configured it to work with gnome-screensaver. Right now, the problem I have is it will only work occasionally. It works everytime with gdm, but it will only work sometimes with gksu and sometimes with gnome-screensaver. With gksu, if I try it a couple of times, it will succeed. With gnome-screensaver, it generally will work if I cancell and try again. However, with gnome-screensaver, if I try to use the password aftwr thinkfinger, it will have a seemingly infinate loop to try to authenticate. Recently, when I tried gksu with synaptic, I got this message: Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root. Failed to communicate with gksu-run-helper.
