[BETA] Install Issue, howdy/dlib-data in wrong folder?

Open Recontaminated opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Installed and configured howdy beta branch, all commands such as sudo work great!

Lockscreen auth fails with Unknown Error 1, I narrowed it down to maybe a permissions issue? (lock screen doesn't run howdy as root) except that Howdy 2.6.1 works perfectly.

So I follow the suggested fix here and realized /lib/security/howdy/dlib-data doesn't exist.

dlib-data however does exist in /etc/howdy/

Thanks in advance for any help and for creating howdy!


I've searched and found relevant #307 but I have no issues with DNS.

Linux distribution (if applicable): PopOS 22.04

Howdy version (sudo howdy version): Howdy 3.0.0 BETA

That's because you're very much on the bleeding edge, #649 got merged and moved Howdy folders around so it can be used on specific distros that don't allow writing to /lib. /etc/howdy is the correct place for the dlib files now, so you can try the fix there!
