Bug ID: 496641
Summary: Packages missing for fingerprint unlock
Classification: KDE Neon
Product: neon
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: neon-b...@kde.org
Reporter: jpe...@petsovits.com
CC: carlosd....@gmail.com, j...@jriddell.org,

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
After installing Neon, I tried setting up fingerprint unlock in the Users KCM.
For Framework laptops, this is a documented part of the installation procedure
on other distros [1][2]. Neon does not ship the packages by default to enable
fingerprint authentication.
After installing the required packages (libpam-fprintd, with its dependencies:
fprintd, libfprint2-tod1, libfprint2-2-2), the UI show fingerprint setup
controls in the Users KCM and the lock screen lets me use fingerprints to
unlock the session. The packages should be installed by default.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Users page in System Settings
OBSERVED RESULT
No fingerprint setup shown on the page.
EXPECTED RESULT
"Configure Fingerprint Authentication..." button should show at the bottom for
the current user.
