   Using Xubuntu 24.04.  Just installed fingerprint readers on my laptop and   
   desktop, using fprintd driver.  I used pam-auth-update to enable the   
   readers for all password requests.  Everything works fine, except for my   
   pan newreader program.  When I start it up,  it gives error message   
   "authentication required.  The login key did not get unlocked when you   
   logged in" . But the fingerprint reader does not light up and I have to   
   manually enter my system login password. (Not the newsreader server   
   password)  If the password is entered and pan is then closed, then next   
   time it opens normally with no error message.  But if the computer is   
   rebooted, then the first time pan is opened, the error message appears   
   again.  Before installing the readers pan always opened normally and   
   didn't ask for any password.  Anyone know how to fix this?   
   p.s.  readers are DP 4500 models.
