Additional information

I use howdy with linux-enable-ir-emitter, and following the Readme (I'm using the 7.0.0 beta) I set the correct line in /etc/pam.d/system-auth before the one with howdy. This works fine for plasma-login-manager and when authenticating in a terminal (eg. with sudo). However, there is an error every time there is a GUI password prompt, for example when running run0 (sorry for the French text in the screenshot, the main errors are in English).

Also, and this is probably unrelated to this issue, I wonder why /usr/bin/linux-enable-ir-emitter run needs to be executed each time there is an authentification with howdy. In versions 6.x, this ran once using a systemd service (at boot, after resume, etc.) and it still works fine for the rest of the session. Is there a reason to not do that for 7.x beta? This would fix this issue at least for my usage.
