2014-04-19 21:30:17 Rüdiger Kupper description With fprintd/libpam_fprintd installed, the user can in all places authenticate via the fingerprint reader. (Command line, login screen, light locker screen). However, light locker does not interact well with fingerprint authentication: Immediately after locking the session, the user can unlock via fingerprint. But once the fingerprint authentication times out, light locker waits for a password to be typed, and the user cannot re-initiate fingerprint authentication. The usual way of pressing ESC does not have effect. There are is a state, where light locker does not accept fingerprint nor password authentication -- the user is left without any possibility to unlock the screen. This is not acceptable. Please correct light locker's behavior with respect to libpam-fprintd authentication.
