This is a very innovative feature that currently has no competitors!

[Raony Guimarães (raonyguimaraes)]

I think this is going directly to the top ... I tested today on my Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 and works out of the box ... Just waiting for the .deb package and I think this will be included in a official release very soon :)
Amazing work man !!! Congratulations !!!

[lukefeil (lukefeil88)]

The authentication runs out of the box, but it doesn't unlock my keyring.

Here my /etc/pam.d/gdm:

auth sufficient pam_face_authentication.so enableX
#%PAM-1.0
auth requisite pam_nologin.so
auth required pam_env.so readenv=1
auth required pam_env.so readenv=1 envfile=/etc/default/locale
auth sufficient pam_succeed_if.so user ingroup nopasswdlogin
@include common-auth
auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so
@include common-account
session [success=ok ignore=ignore module_unknown=ignore default=bad] pam_selinux.so close
session required pam_limits.so
@include common-session
session [success=ok ignore=ignore module_unknown=ignore default=bad] pam_selinux.so open
session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start
@include common-password

Hi there,

You could use substack option of pam. The solution is mentioned here http://live.gnome.org/GnomeKeyring/Pam

So your gdm config file should like

>> cat /etc/pam.d/gdm:
#%PAM-1.0
auth requisite pam_nologin.so
auth required pam_env.so readenv=1
auth required pam_env.so readenv=1 envfile=/etc/default/locale
auth sufficient pam_succeed_if.so user ingroup nopasswdlogin

auth substack common-auth

auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so
@include common-account
session [success=ok ignore=ignore module_unknown=ignore default=bad] pam_selinux.so close
session required pam_limits.so
@include common-session
session [success=ok ignore=ignore module_unknown=ignore default=bad] pam_selinux.so open
session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start
@include common-password

Finally, add
auth sufficient pam_face_authentication.so enableX to the top of /etc/pam.d/common-auth - I hope this fixes things.

I have compiled the source of pam-face-authentication-0.3.tar.gz and I have make the package for Ubuntu Lucid for now.

Soon also for Maverick and hope for x86_64.

Now I have compiled it for all architecture because I dont know if the 64 bit required special dependency, if I find eventually dependens I recompiled the packages for i386 and for x86_64.

the 32 bit package work 100%.

The repository is:

https://launchpad.net/~antonio.chiurazzi/+archive/ppa

Now is required only the configuration:

sudo sed -i '1i auth sufficient pam_face_authentication.so enableX' /etc/pam.d/gdm
sudo sed -i '1i auth sufficient pam_face_authentication.so enableX' /etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver

I dont have add nothing because any person can add the module where he want.

sorry for my english.

[steveacab (antonio.chiurazzi)]

package avaiable for Maverick

you can found in my ppa

[Harald Sitter (apachelogger)]

I polished up your package for natty (11.04), I'll upload it for review today. Are you ok with using GPL3 for licensing your packaging?

[steveacab (antonio.chiurazzi)]

Yes, sure.

I add the license. Soon I recompile the package also for Maverick including the GPL.

[steveacab (antonio.chiurazzi)]

Sorry, I have think bad.

[Amrut (microsoftuseslinux)]

compiled but face regnition fails of natty

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Gabor Bukovszki (gabor-9)]

Face recognition fails in Natty. QT-Trainer throws errors on record.

The application seems to be written for gdm and not LightDM...
