Hello I am very glad that under 18.10 the face recognition is working on Thinkpad T25 and probably T470 too.
Thank to
https://github.com/boltgolt/howdy
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:boltgolt/howdy
sudo apt update
sudo apt install howdy
When installation asks about infra lighting there was no infra lighting ever.
After Howdy install there was cv2 problem, the solution was:
sudo –H pip install opencv-python
It was necessary to add line
QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1
to
/etc/environment (sudo nano /etc/environment)
Device=1 is normal camera on TP25 (TP470)
Device=0 is infra camera
It was not working, there was a green snow in Cheese program. In Guvcview it looks good.
It was necessary to change using
sudo howdy config
lines
device = 0
frame_width = 340
frame_height = 340
There was defaults .. -1
Persisting problem: If I successfully login to Ubuntu using face recognition, I must unlock keyring.
I use Chrome and Skype.
I needed to disable howdy to install plugin for hp printer using hplip-gui. Hplip-gui allways had bad password when Howdy enabled, no face recognition timeout reached.
Question: is it possible that after that ubuntu update manager said: your python installation is corrupted fix your
usr/bin/python symlink
(when I start it it starts to python 2.7)
fixed with this:
sudo rm /usr/bin/python
sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python
