Ubuntu Installation needs to be updated

[luciust]

Just installed on KDE Neon which is based of Ubuntu. Howdy nicely works along already installed fingerprint auth.

To make it work I had to configure the /dev/video0 by the means of sudo howdy config

Then it was necessary to do:

mkdir /usr/lib/security/howdy/snapshots
sudo chmod 755 -R /lib/security/howdy
sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/security/howdy/snapshots
sudo pip uninstall opencv-python
sudo apt install python3-opencv

Based on respective threads (i.e. #450 and #390) so kudos to the finders!

Please consider updating the main README for Ubuntu/KDE Neon

For me it was necessary to run:

sudo pip install dlib

as showed by @ashkop in #781 (comment)

And change the code in file /usr/lib/security/howdy/pam.py as showed by @MurzNN in #799 (comment)

I am running Ubuntu 23.10 and Howdy 2.6.1
