Hi Dear,

it is possible to create packages for Epel 8, 9 and CentOS ?

Thank you in advance.

I am getting the following error message:

Exception ignored in: <_io.BufferedWriter name=4>
BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

To be clear, howdy appears to be working, but the error message bothers me. Is there anything I can do to help debug this?

Hi I’m looking for some help :sweat_smile:
I was able to get this working for sudo but not for gnome login.
On login I only get prompted for password or fingerprint, IR camera doesn’t even seem to be activating.
I already added auth sufficient pam_howdy.so to /etc/pam.d/gdm-password just like shown in the guide and added a face model, so not sure what else I could be missing?
I’m using Fedora 41. Thanks in advance!

Getting the following error after successful sudo:

Exception ignored in: <_io.BufferedWriter name=4>
BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

Face recognition won’t work in gdm, getting the following error below the password input: nknown error:

I am having the same issues… Everything works fine in terminal except the fact I am getting the

“Exception ignored in: <_io.BufferedWriter name=4>
BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe”

error as well. I also cannot sign into fedora with howdy or unlock my device.

Same, also have the Errno32 Broken pipe error on Fedora 41.

The broken pipe error fix is on Issue #968, but hasn’t been merged yet on the howdy side.

On the other hand, the fix for sporadic unlocks on Hyprlock Issue #969 seems to be merged into beta 2 weeks ago.

I guess we just wait for the fix to be merged and principis to build the package again?
