#### Howdy PAM module not call on Cinnamon/Mate screensaver
As reported in bug #28. In Mate/Cinnamon environments howdy may have problems running. The bug describes the way to recognize the problem (via /var/log/auth.log). If your problem is conversion, possibly the @sd65 user's solution[¹](https://github.com/Boltgolt/howdy/issues/28#issuecomment-396231042) should work:
> So I have a workaround. Please note I'm using Cinnamon Screensaver (should work on Mate too).
>
> First as you said:
>
> `sudo chmod -R 755 /lib/security/howdy/`
>
> Then:
>
> `sudo howdy config`
>
> And set `no_confirmation` to `true`.
>
> It's crashing when sending the confirmation message, so disabling it makes the trick. :)
