Unknown error: 1

So i can't make howdy work

howdy test is working, sudo -i isn't working and returning

sudo howdy version
Unknown error: 1

What i've done:

• install from fusion
• add /dev/video2 to sudo howdy config
• add auth sufficient pam_python.so /lib64/security/howdy/pam.py to /etc/pam.d/sudo
• chmod o-x /lib64/security/howdy/compare.py

Also tried (maybe the wrong way):

• https://github.com/boltgolt/howdy/issues/233
• https://github.com/boltgolt/howdy/issues/830
• https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/anbinx-howdy/46321

Maybe it is posible to somehow get compare.py's traceback?

Howdy version: 2.6.1

Solution: https://github.com/boltgolt/howdy/issues/801#issuecomment-1599260243 sudo mkdir /usr/lib64/security/howdy/snapshots

[tokox]

have you configured SELinux and #801?

chmod o-x /lib64/security/howdy/compare.py

it should be o+x not o-x

[DocCringol]

it should be o+x not o-x yeah, missclick

and yes, #801 helped, thanks a lot

[KeysBit]

same here. #801 not help. Just create folder /usr/lib/security/howdy/snapshots solve the problem. yeah for me it`s not lib64
