So what's going on here is, - you don't have smartcards enabled - you don't have a fingerprint reader The authentication buttons show up briefly because you do have fingerprint authentication enabled, but then fails shortly there after since you don't have a reader. The gdm code won't show the authentication method buttons if you only have one authentication method available. We could probably avoid showing the buttons at all if you don't have a fingerprint reader. That would likely require changes to fprintd and the gdm fingerprint plugin. It's not blocker material at this point, though. This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.
