Howdy not unlocking on login screen (Elementary OS 6.1)

Open Aplicat0r opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Today I install Howdy on my laptop (Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro). The installation was successful and I added my face. However, when I tried to unlock my laptop it did work. I could see the LED lighting up and then goes out (I think it recognizes me) but nothing happens. WHen am logged in and I try a sudo command, it recognizes me and continues with the command. It's not working only on the login screen :/ .

Linux distribution: elementary OS 6.1 Jólnir

Howdy version: Howdy 2.6.1

LED? Are you using the ordinary camera(typically associated with the LED indicator) or Infrared emitters?

I meant the LED that notifies me that the camera is being used. My camera has an infrared emitter.

I have solved that problem before by switching the display manager to lightDM. Not sure if it works the same way, but give it a try.
