Hi,
I have tried Fingerprint GUI in Awesome WM.
I'm getting this error and I haven't found any solution for it so I'm asking here if anyone has any idea. There is no auth.log.
==== AUTHENTICATING FOR cc.ullrich-online.fingerprint-gui.modify ===
Authentication is required to modify fingerprint authentication data
Authenticating as: (MY USERNAME)
Password:
polkit-agent-helper-1: error response to PolicyKit daemon: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: No session for cookie
==== AUTHENTICATION FAILED ===
Error executing command as another user: Not authorized
This incident has been reported.
Does anyone have any idea what can I do. I would really appreciate it. If I run it as root or sudo everything works OK.

Hello,
I have the very same problem.
journalctl shows me the following:

I got it to work.
You need to run
sudo /usr/lib/fingerprint-gui/fingerprint-polkit-agent -d
Then you get a different password prompt upon registering your fingerprint.
Cheers,
