xombra/pam-face-authentication

Not working with GDM3 nor GNOME3

Opened this issue · 3 comments

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install pam-face-authentication
2. Add pam-face-authentication.so to the GNOME PAM files
3. Try to log in or to unlock screen.

What is the expected output?
GDM3 shows the same dialog as in GDM2.

What do you see instead?
Nothing happens. It works as if the pam-face-authentication.so line was ignored.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v0.3 over archlinux up-to-date


Please provide any additional information below.
I had to patch the sources to make it compatible with newer versions of OpenCV, 
but I think that this isn't related to the UI.

The svn version works well with gdm3 on arclinux.

/etc/pam.d/gdm: (or if fprintd is installed, use gdm-fingerprint)
(after ... pam_env.so)
auth sufficient pam_face_authentication.so enableX

Tested with the latest gdm version 3.4.1, the behavior seen in the first post 
still occurs. I'm using the svn version of the package in the aur 
(aur/pam-face-authentication-svn) and I compiled it tonight. It simply doesn't 
work, I'm sorry to say. Perhaps it needs to be updated for GNOME 3.4 in some 
way?

Would like to update what I said earlier. While I still cannot log into my 
system with the camera (simply clicking my username in the gdm screen will 
result in a password prompt) I *can* unlock my screen when gnome-screensaver 
has locked it with my face. There is no camera shown, but a message appears 
below the password entry that tells me if a face is detected, if I need to move 
closer to the camera, etc.
