Hello everyone, thank you very much for the great project here. I've already tried a few things. but I can't get any further now.

The whole system works wonderfully. I only have a little difficulty logging in.

If the computer (Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbin Gen7) was switched off and I was supposed to select the user in Ubuntu. The infrared light only flashes briefly once. But if I then press ESC and select the user again, the light flashes several times until the face is recognized.

What can I do to ensure full functionality the first time?

any ideas what else I can try?

thanks in advance
