Howdy installation problem

Support AUR
1

Hi Fellas

I recently switched from Win11 to Manjaro, so kind of newbie here.

I wanted to install the howdy package from aur via yay and only get some errors saying that python 2 is depreciated.

Is there a possibilty to get Howdy or even pam-python running on python 3?

Thank you.

If it depends on python2 - you are out of luck - and on your own.

Hello,

If you look at the AUR page, most was sorted out for python3 AUR (en) - howdy
The only one remaining with a python2 dependency is the AUR (en) - pam-python and people are commenting and also offering an alternative to drop the python2 from it, or use the pam-python-git (install that one first) instead and then install howdy …

Howdy Beta has dropped the dependency on pam-python altogether. The next version release should solve all these issues or you can get howdy-beta-git from the AUR.

so i successfully have howdy now installed, but as soon as i want to use my face for sudo or kde login, the IR stays off.
pam.d/kde:

#%PAM-1.0
auth sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass likeauth nullok
auth sufficient pam_python.so /lib/security/howdy/pam.py
auth            include         system-login

account         include         system-login

password        include         system-login

session         include         system-login

anyone an idea for that?

You have experience on this one?
Do you still need to add the pam-python.so into the pam.d like the manual says or how does manjaro know which authentication method to use?
