sorry my bad .. i had that problem to fix u have to undo the changes you made to /etc/pam.d/common-auth (hope you backed it up .. ) by removing the 2 lines you added following the guide. save and edit.. then run the following command
sudo ‘/usr/lib/pam-thinkfinger/pam-thinkfinger-enable’

that is all .. reboot and everything would be set.. and you wont have to type your passwd twice to login.. i have updated the guide to reflect this.

After y added the 2 lines to /etc/pam.d/common-auth
The computer prompt 2 time every time that I use sudo or for the first login.

here is my /etc/pam.d/common-auth file

#
# /etc/pam.d/common-auth – authentication settings common to all services
#
# This file is included from other service-specific PAM config files,
# and should contain a list of the authentication modules that define
# the central authentication scheme for use on the system
# (e.g., /etc/shadow, LDAP, Kerberos, etc.). The default is to use the
# traditional Unix authentication mechanisms.
#
auth requisite pam_unix.so nullok_secure
auth optional pam_smbpass.so migrate missingok
auth sufficient pam_thinkfinger.so
auth required pam_unix.so try_first_pass nullok_secure

I can’t get the lock screen to turn off when resuming from standby. I’ve tried gconf-editor and selecting off for the lock. Did you always have to enter a password on resume?
