I'm on Debian Buster, seeing the same behaviour (i.e. long timeout before being shown the login screen in GDM3). Before the upgrade from Stretch all worked as expected. Uninstalling fprintd and libpam-fprintd solves the issue. But I like to have the fingerprint reader working ;-) This is on a Lenovo T430 laptop, fingerprint reader ID 147e:2020 Upek TouchChip Fingerprint Coprocessor.
So, I now downgraded both of those packages to version 0.8.0-2, and all works fine. Note, I did not change the installed version of libfprint0, currently this is 0.8.2-3. Installed version of systemd is 241-7~deb10u1. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1824855 Title: Unlocking the screen takes a long time after "Starting Fingerprint Authentication Daemon..."
