Having set up Howdy correctly (proper pam files edited so i get face rec where i need, including KDE login), why am i still having to mash an Unlock button like a caveman after authenticating
People have asking this question for years, how is it still a thing that cant be easily disabled?
Please does someone have a workaround?
I would presume this is because we don’t officially support Howdy-based authentication yet. It does use PAM so you can probably bodge it into kinda working, but it won’t have a great UX because of a lack of polish and integration which come from formal support.
fixed (at least for me on CachyOS, using howdy-git) by some pokery…now just hitting Enter to trigger Howdy leads to drop to desktop with no intervening Unlock button
files edited (order of entries important) :
/etc/pam.d/system-local-login
#%PAM-1.0
auth sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass likeauth nullok
auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_howdy.so
auth include system-login
account include system-login
password include system-login
session include system-login
