Facial Recognition Not Working on Ubuntu 25.04

[TheAlex25]

Issue Description Facial recognition login was working perfectly on Ubuntu 24.10 with Howdy. After upgrading to Ubuntu 25.04, facial recognition no longer works. Upon attempting to login, the error "unknown error" is displayed on the login screen. Also, it would be nice if Howdy came with a GUI for setup and install. I am a young man, and did not grow up in the CLI era.

Steps to Reproduce

Install Howdy on Ubuntu 25.04.
Configure facial recognition for login.
Attempt to login using facial recognition.

Expected Behavior Facial recognition should work seamlessly, allowing login without issues.

Actual Behavior An "unknown error" is displayed on the login screen, preventing successful login via facial recognition.

So, how can I fix this on my end? This stuff is all Greek to me. I am just a guy who has migrated from Windows to Ubuntu, and am a GUI dude, so these libraries I am not familiar with.

I installed Howdy on Ubuntu 25.04 and it worked fine. When I upgraded to 25.10 I now get the following. It seems similar.

[/home/mark] $ sudo howdy test Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/howdy", line 111, in import cli.test File "/lib/security/howdy/cli/test.py", line 8, in import dlib File "/usr/local/lib/python3.13/dist-packages/dlib/init.py", line 19, in from _dlib_pybind11 import * ImportError: libcblas.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How does one install DLIB? This is the error I get in the command line.
