Bug Description
After installing libpam-thinkfinger and thinkfinger-tools, properly recording "enrolling" and confirming the enrollment with the tf-tool command, I can not log in using gdm and my enrolled finger.
I did execute the command: sudo /usr/lib/
#
# /etc/pam.
#
# This file is included from other service-specific PAM config files,
# and should contain a list of the authentication modules that define
# the central authentication scheme for use on the system
# (e.g., /etc/shadow, LDAP, Kerberos, etc.). The default is to use the
# traditional Unix authentication mechanisms.
#
# As of pam 1.0.1-6, this file is managed by pam-auth-update by default.
# To take advantage of this, it is recommended that you configure any
# local modules either before or after the default block, and use
# pam-auth-update to manage selection of other modules. See
# pam-auth-update(8) for details.
# here are the per-package modules (the "Primary" block)
auth sufficient pam_thinkfinger.so
auth [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so try_first_pass nullok_secure
# here's the fallback if no module succeeds
auth requisite pam_deny.so
# prime the stack with a positive return value if there isn't one already;
# this avoids us returning an error just because nothing sets a success code
# since the modules above will each just jump around
auth required pam_permit.so
# and here are more per-package modules (the "Additional" block)
# end of pam-auth-update config
The GDM prompt shows the enter password or swipe finger prompt. It does not recognized my finger swipe. I am sure it is not my performing a bad swipe as I can use the tf-tool and successfully match. I have been using thinkfinger on Karmic and Jaunty without problems. This seems to be a regression.

Same issue after upgrading form 9.10 (karmic) to 10.04 (lucid).
You need to press enter after performing the scan under X. Works flawlessly under a tty.
