howdy broken after updates " File "/lib/security/howdy/compare.py", line 17, in <module> import dlib "

after recompiling python-dlib the error changes to "Camera path is not configured correctly, please edit the 'device_path' config value."

TheHighGroundWin: I think you just need to recompile python-opencv. Probably you didn't do after the update to python 3.10.

I get Traceback (most recent call last): File "/lib/security/howdy/compare.py", line 18, in <module> import cv2 ImportError: libjsoncpp.so.24: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Unknown error: 1

maybe update the dependencies because rolling back jsoncpp breaks my crucial system software.

for now sudo ln -s /lib/libjsoncpp.so /lib/libjsoncpp.so.24 has fixed it

I get /lib/security/howdy/pam.py[91696]: Can not open module: Permission denied with Plasma Locking Screen since a few days ago. Other use cases (e.g. with sudo) still work just fine.

Anyone else having issues with howdy and Plasma Screen Locking? It used to work but after some updates (don't know if python, Plasma or howdy), doesn't work any more.

In case someone found howdy stopped working after upgrading Python version (e.g. from 3.9 to 3.10 recently): recompile and re-install python-dlib would solve the issue.


@salvocos Interesting point. python-dlib is in the dependency, and my installation works without dlib. Maybe python-dlib already contains the necessary functionality?
My installation also works without issues with opencv 4.5.4-10 (current version).

I am exeriencing the same problem as the others.
Could it be the opencv vrsion (I have opencv>4)?

Thank you for creating the package. It seems that dlib is dependency, which is missing. Do you agree with that?
