Howdy does not pickup dlib on Fedora 34

[deepu105]

When running howdy add I get the below output. Dlib is installed on the system.

❯ sudo howdy add
[sudo] password for deepu: 
No module named 'dlib'

Can't import the dlib module, check the output of
pip3 show dlib

❯ pip3 show dlib

Same problem on Fedora. Except dlib wasn't even installed (and I'm running into errors trying to get pip3 to install it).

[realcomplex]

Actually, I installed dlib as root (sudo pip3 install dlib) and that worked for me.

[deepu105]

Nice that works for me too but now I have another issue as my primary camera is not being detected

It looks like installing howdy on Fedora doesn't automatically set the camera device in the configuration file, did you do that already? sudo howdy config and then set device_path to the right device (/dev/video2 for me).

[deepu105]

No I didn't. I'll try that. Probably all this should go into docs

Yeah.... The Fedora package seems to not quite work "out of the box" yet. It also doesn't seem to include any pam configuration, so I'm still actually trying to get sudo, gdm, etc. to use howdy.

[deepu105]

Do post your setup if you manage to get it working

I have found that the package at https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/principis/howdy/ works much better (dlib included as dependency, so solves this issue), and includes good instructions. I had to follow all the additional configurations suggested there (set video device in config file, configure pam, fix selinux permissions) and also install linux-enable-ir-emitter (https://github.com/EmixamPP/linux-enable-ir-emitter), but now it works!

@boltgolt, seeing https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/luya-howdy/3454/10, would it be an idea to link to the principis/howdy copr instead for Fedora installation?
