confirmed that after reinstalling fprintd, the issue returns. First of all, it creates a delay until the login screen loads. then when the login screen loads, no user is visible to be clicked, also not after the 25000 ms timeout of the fprintd daemon.
So it seems the cause of the issue is the login process in gdm3 is not handling this properly - ideally the user would get a message like - fprintd error: timeout xxx.... etc and the login would skip fingerprint related stuff and go to normal login. This is currently broken when the command fprintd-list times out like: gnome-shell[2622]: Failed to connect to Fprint service: Error calling StartServiceByName for net.reactivated.Fprint: Timeout was reached current work around: drop to safe login and type: apt remove fprintd reboot -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1960336 Title: No login screen after recent update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1960336/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
