For anyone getting "RuntimeError: Unsupported image type, must be 8bit gray or RGB image", downgrade python-numpy to 1.26.4-2 and all will be okay... for now. See https://github.com/boltgolt/howdy/issues/937 for further discussion.

Cannot build package. Seems to be a recent issue... Something related to pam-python-1.0.8-3:

pam.py needs to be patched on Python 3, see #785. Consider adding the following lines to package():

    sed -i '9,10c\
# Patched for Python 3\
import configparser as ConfigParser' src/pam.py

Since the last libjxl update some links seem to be broken. I fixed it in /usr/lib/ folder with
ln -s libjxl_threads.so.0.11 libjxl_threads.so.0.10
ln -s libjxl_cms.so.0.11 libjxl_cms.so.0.10
ln -s libjxl.so.0.11 libjxl.so.0.10

Works with:

extra/python-numpy 1.26.4-2

Doesn't work with:

extra-testing/python-numpy 2.0.0-1

I have sudo howdy test working, but pam won't seem to start up howdy. my pam config auth sufficient pam_python3.so /lib/security/howdy/pam.py

@miral - Cuda needs to be built using GCC12, but everything else has been built using GCC13, which is why LTO keeps bringing up the issue for the python-dlib. There are repositories that have that package prebuilt, of which I tried blackarch and arch4edu repositories. The simplest solution would be to search for "BlackArch Strap Script".

When trying to build it errors out with:


==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
 -> error making: python-dlib-exit status 4
==> Making package: python-face_recognition 1.3.0-1 (sob, 17 lut 2024, 12:24:01)

howdy - exit status 8

So I tried installing the dependencies separately - via yay, paru and manually - but to no avail:

 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:

Running G14 GA402RJ, full AMD build, maybe something cuda related, but I'm not certain. Pardon for the inexperience, still very new to the game.

I cannot make pam invoke howdy as it did since the python 3.11 rebuild. Is anyone facing the same problem?
