Gnome 3.2 crashes after fingerprint login

[monkeyape]

I use the fingerprintsensor on my thinkpad to log in my normal account.

After the last update gnome 3.2 doesn´t start, when I log in with my fingerprintsensor. The only thing I see is the wallpaper - nothing else. No gnomeshell, no error-msg.

But when I log in with my password, instead using my fingerprint, everything runs normal, until the green LED from my fingerprint goes off. Then gnome crashes and brings me back to my login-screen.

Same here. Will you file a bugzilla or do i have to?

[monkeyape]

could you do that? That would be nice

when you say 'last update', what gdm and gnome-shell do you have exactly?

(in general, it's a lot more useful to specify what package versions you have than just to say 'after the update'. We don't know what packages your mirror had when you updated.)

I use fedora16beta - gdm 3.2.1.1 - 3.2.1.1

The last GDM update I got, it removed the fingerprint module...

Installed: 1:gdm-3.2.1.1-1.fc16.i686
Erased: 1:gdm-plugin-fingerprint-3.2.0-2.fc16.i686

So I would assume they did a lot of changes pertaining to the fingerprint readers. Probably moved the code into GDM instead of it being in a plugin module.

Since you are having issues with it, I would file a bug on that one.
