Description Fabiano Fidêncio 2021-03-01 08:15:42 UTC

Description of problem:
GDM will keep trying, and failing, to get information from the fingerprint reader.  This will force the user to wait till a timeout finally happens, so the user will be able to normally insert their password.

This happens while the fingerprint login is not enabled, and has never been configured,

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm-40~beta-1.fc34.x86_64
gnome-shell-40.0~beta-1.fc34.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%, if you're laptop has a fingerprint reader

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the system up
2. Wait till the login screen shows up
3. Try to insert the password

Actual results:
You'll notice you won't be able to, as the failures related to reading the user' s fingerprint will be showing up, which makes GDM not accept the password entered.

Expected results:
GDM shouldn't even try to get info from the fingerprint reader if this is not configured.

Okay, TomáŠ Popela pointed me to https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/XA3TQMHT5RFUQE6M5IS3PDUTAFWZSQOW/, which seems to be exactly the same issue I'm facing.
I'll follow this up there, but also leave this one open.
