[Bug 392930] [NEW] Thinkfinger not working on gdm logon screen on Jaunty

[DigiBodhi]

Public bug reported:

Thinkfinger is not working on a fresh install of Jaunty. I followed the
installation instructions on the Thinkwiki page.  I had no problem with
tf-tool --acquire and tf-tool verify.

I get Password or swipe finger prompt on su (and it works when I swipe
the finger), but I do not get the swipe finger bit on the gdm logon
screen. I am running:

Linux 2.6.28-13-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 2 07:55:09 UTC 2009
x86_64 GNU/Linux

And I installed via the PPA repository:
 
libpam-thinkfinger    0.3+r118-0ubuntu5~ppa1
libthinkfinger0          0.3+r118-0ubuntu5~ppa1
thinkfinger-tools       0.3+r118-0ubuntu5~ppa1

Small section of my common-auth:

(...)
# 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    
(...)

For context, I used thinkfinger in 7.10 and in 8.04. It still works
really good on my 8.04 partition.

This is all happening on a lenovo x61 tablet.
