Hi, I recently installed Kubuntu 18.04 on a HP ProBook 450 G2 laptop, which happens to have a Fingerprint reader, more specifically:
With some effort, I managed to set up a fingerprint to use with 'sudo' commands, and also at the login screen. Plasma doesn't seems to have fingerprint integration, and I'm fine with that. For example, for finger scan at login, I have to press 'Enter' with a blank password to begin the scan process, without any messages on screen.
But the Lock Screen behaviour seems to be different. If I press Enter with a blank password, the system inmediately throws me a 'Invalid password' message, and the finger scan does not trigger at all.
Is there any way to get the finger scan working on the Lock Screen? At all? Maybe some config in /etc/pam.d? If not, is there an alternative Lock Screen? I tried i3lock but it doesn't convince me, apart from the fact that is not a replacement, I can trigger i3lock but it doesn't replace the lock on the system.
Thanks in advance!
