This seems to be a problem with a dbus timeout trying to talk to the fingerprint daemon (more details in the additional details section). Workaround was to disable fingerprint as a valid login method using authconfig. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Issue any command that has a password challenge (sudo, su, login etc) 2. 3. Actual Results: Password prompt takes ~30 seconds to appear Expected Results: Password prompt comes up immediately Upgraded from F29 to F30 and all was find for a while. About a week ago after an upgrade, i noticed that sudo was taking a long time to get to ask me for a password. Also it was taking a long time to go from suspend to a login screen. A quick check with 'strace su -', it looked like the problem was a timeout on a dbus call to an Fprint.xx endpoint. I am running this on a dell xps13, which I don't believe has a fingerprint reader. Solution to the problem was to use authconfig --disablefingerprint --updateall and everything is fine again.
