PAMUSB and login.

dragonfly-uk · 02-15-2016, 02:30 AM

It would appear that pamusb can't login or unlock recent releases of Ubuntu or Mint although it does work correctly for sudo type logins etc. Does anybody know if it works correctly with any of the recent versions of other distributions or is it simply broken in all distributions at the moment. If that is the case is there an alternative that works correctly?

Guess I'm the only one trying to use PAMUSB then.

Hey,

No, I'm not using it, but maybe you could give some more info to help me/(us) help you? Are there any error messages, what distro, stuff like that?

Cheers!

There is no error messages as far as I can tell, it just doesn't unlock like it's meant to, with either the lock screen or boot-up. pamusb is working however because going to terminal and using sudo pamusb is recognised and no password is required when the usb is plugged in.

I've tried it in both Mint 17.3 (With Mate) and with Ubuntu both misbehave in exactly the same way with pamusb
