The package howdy allows facial recognition on Linux. I use KDE Plasma on Tumbleweed.
The command sudo howdy test is supposed to start the camera and to open a window with the webcam.
However, here’s what sudo howdy test returns to me:
sudo howdy test
(python3:15574): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: 09:39:18.593:
Trying to dispose element pipeline0, but it is in READY instead of the NULL state.
You need to explicitly set elements to the NULL state before
dropping the final reference, to allow them to clean up.
This problem may also be caused by a refcounting bug in the
application or some element.

[1] 15572 segmentation fault sudo howdy test
I know most of you don’t know this specific package, however I’m hoping that some are familiar enough with segmentation fault errors to help me out…
I will create a bug report on GitHub as soon as i can, hope someone can help me in the meantime!
