Slimbookface is working since today in Mint 22 , so it also should work in Ubuntu 24.04 .
Only thing is that it don't work at login .
It is installing howdy and a userinterface for it .
Now i don't need typing the password in the system , only at login .
A few minutes later comes a phyton update and face-logon is working too now.

Thanks hjfisch! I have a dell latitude and I have used howdy in the past after downgrading numpy, as other people had suggested. I distro hopped for awhile and ended up back on mint, once they came out with 22 Wilma. Yesterday, I saw your post and installed slimbookface. I guess, since it's in it's own package, it was able to bypass all of the "externally managed" package and python errors and installed with no problems. I only had to select my IR camera from the list, recorded about four face profiles and it's worked flawlessly ever since. It works on log-in and any type of root authentication. Hopefully, like you said, it will work on other distros and help people to use howdy again, as it does use howdy.

I go this working by installing slimface, then installing howdy again, then installing slimface again. Working for all authentication including face login on Linux Mint 22.
