On login,
sudo
call, or any authentication attempt, the process hangs for a while, then prompts for password.
Expected behavior: immediately display fingerprint prompt.
Upon investigation, fprintd-verify
, fprintd-enroll
, fprintd-delete
, and fprintd-list
all time out with the following error:
$ fprintd-list $USERNAME # example command
Failed to get Fprintd manager: Error calling StartServiceByName for net.reactivated.Fprint: Timeout was reached
My fingerprint sensor is supported; fprintd
, fprintd-pam
, and libfprint
were installed from official repositories on distro install. All are configured as default when installed, with no modificatons.
Running Fedora 42.
This behavior was not present a week ago, when I used fprintd-enroll right-middle-finger
to register a fingerprint. It developed sometime after a system upgrade from Fedora 41 to 42.
