   How to select (*) item in ncurses termin   
   15 Feb 25 04:10:03   
   
   From: nospam@nospam.nospam   
      
    Just installed external fingerprint readers for my Xubuntu 24.04 desktop   
   and laptop, using fprintd driver.  When "  sudo pam-auth-update  "   was   
   entered into terminal an ncurses gui came up, I couldn't figure out how to   
   select (add a star to)  the fingerprint authentication line entry, so   
   instead used the command "  pam-auth-update --enable fprintd  ".  I would   
   like to know how to select or deselect an item anyway.  Tried every key,   
   didn't work.  Pressing "enter" just closed the ncurses gui without   
   selecting the item.  Anyone know how?
