 Jan Tojnar | In reply to @hmenke:matrix.org
Here is a related thread on Discourse: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/gnome-login-fingerprint-issue/13760 Yeah, I know about it, it was there from the start (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/117081#issuecomment-834205394) but I do not have any hardware where I could reproduce it and the logs do not seem very helpful | 14:46:32 |
 hmenke | Jan Tojnar: What do you think would be a promising target to investigate? (maybe gdm?) The fprintd logs look innocent, even with `G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all`. | 14:54:43 |
| Jan Tojnar | hmenke: anything fr | 17:26:30 |
| Jan Tojnar | * hmenke: anything from gdm, through pam to fprint may be responsible | 17:27:05 |
| Jan Tojnar | I am not very familiar with this part of the stack, unfortunately | 17:27:34 |
| Jan Tojnar | the best bet would be going to #gdm:gnome.org | 17:28:01 |
| Jan Tojnar | * the best bet would be going to #gdm:gnome.org and asking for some debugging advice there | 17:28:18 |
| hmenke | Jan Tojnar: I have some logs for you. | 18:19:40 |
| hmenke | Download fprint.log | 18:19:50 |
| hmenke | Particularly the bit

| 18:20:28 |
| hmenke | A search also turned up this https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F34_bugs#login-authselect-fingerprint-error | 18:21:53 |
| hmenke | This is the linked bug report https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1942443 | 18:23:45 |
|  maxine (they/them) joined the room. | 22:58:50 |
| Jan Tojnar | hmenke: I have seen that. But I do not see how that is applicable, we do not have sssd or authselect. | 23:28:28 |
| Jan Tojnar | And it was not clear to me from the bug report what is actually causing the issue, only that Fedora somehow fixed it | 23:28:57 |
| Jan Tojnar |
Maybe the GNOME Shell patch fixed it (but it sounded like a hack and the instructions do not really look like the issue has anything to do with gnome-shell) | 23:29:24 |

| hmenke | Some more research on this:

| 06:54:55 |
| Jan Tojnar | hmenke: yeah, 0001-gdm-Work-around-failing-fingerprint-auth.patch is the patch I was referring to. The MR !1821 is already in Nixpkgs. | 11:58:39 |

 hpfr | bit of a long shot, but is steam's big picture broken for anyone else on gnome wayland? | 02:57:13 |
| hpfr | nvm, I found it's fixed in a nixpkgs PR | 02:59:55 |

| Josh Ponelat | Hey folks, I recently upgrade (channel) to 21.05, and now gnome is gnome4. Is there anyway I can get it back to gnome3? There is an extension that I need in gnome3 | 14:23:45 |
