|    Pan asks for login key (authentication r    |

      From: nospam@nospam.nospam              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.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
