Hi, thanks for the tip, but unfortunately I had tried this, and it still
does not work.
When trying the biometric scan, in the screen lock, I get the following
error in my logs:
Jan 16 08:47:54 DeepThought pam_bioapi[9493]: Unable to load BioAPI BSP
with UUID of {5550454b-2054-464d-2f45-535320425350}, BioAPI error #194d.
Research for error #194d had revealed that it is a permissions error to
the user that is trying to access the biometric profile. I suspect that
the lock screen part of DR17 is running as another user.
I did try to chmod 777 the biometric profile, to test, but it had no
effect.
