Howdy doesn't work. FIXED? #734

Thanks! This worked for me on Debian Testing. For anyone wondering what exactly to change. Here ya go!
and
in /lib/security/howdy/pam.py |
It's a pity, but after these steps I've faced with a problem unlocking cinnamone-screensaver. I can't unlock it with howdy (it tries, but coudn't) or password. |
After installation I'd configured and added profile. Test had passed well. But login, sudo and screensaver hadn't worked at all.
I'd caught the problem by command
sudo cat /var/log/auth.log
A message had been displayed about the absence of ConfigParser. But when I'd tried to install, I'd gotten a message that the package had been already installed. Then I found that in the new version of python (3), this package is called lowercase. I've corrected lines 10 and 13 in the /lib/security/howdy/pam.py file, replacing the letters with lowercase ones. After that everything work great.
I've searched for similar issues already, and my issue has not been reported yet.
