@kissuny: You need to be more specific.

  1. Did you try sudo howdy test? Does it recognize your face (green outline)?
  2. Did you configure your PAM settings correctly?

The most reliable config is to add line

auth sufficient pam_howdy.so

As first entry in /etc/pam.d/system-auth file.

"I've set up face recognition using 'howdy add' and it confirmed a match, but it still doesn't unlock my screen properly."

@maoyaotang1 You have this runtime issue because the x265 package got updated and howdy was not and is still using older library.

To fix this, please reinstall/rebuild howdy-git, and to be safe python-dlib as well (preferably with clean build). I bumped the version so it'll be seen as update.

Let me know if you still have issues.

@joehillen Every time the python package gets an update to new version, all libraries need to be updated as well, unfortunately. python-dlib is from AUR so you'll have to remember to rebuild it manually.

This issue is described on the wiki.

Nevermind. Rebuilding python-dlib from a fresh clone solved the issue.

howdy has recently broken for me

$ sudo howdy test
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/howdy/cli.py", line 117, in <module>
    import cli.test
  File "/usr/lib/howdy/cli/test.py", line 10, in <module>
    import dlib
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dlib'

python-dlib is installed and I tried reinstalling it. I don't know enough about Python to investigate deeper.

Package script have been rewritten from scratch to use native meson build.
