Face detection timeout reached about howdy HOT 9 CLOSED

Your camera might not be good enough for realiable face detection, could you try to set the certainty to 5 with sudo howdy config?

Hi!

yes, i changed certainty = 5 and i work great, however, i noticed that when you dont watch directly to the camera and the light is poor its fails the login.

One important issue that i have is when a gui app require root permission and the face detection fails, the root pass dialog doesnt appear so the app freeze for ever for example when you install virtualbox additions the main app wait ...........

Thanks, Great Job!

Any progress on this one?

Good to hear. GUI prompts should fall back to a password field, does gksudo ls work after a timeout?

from howdy.

I think this might be a duplicate of #29, are you using an IR camera?
Try covering your camera when it's stuck.
