Public bug reported:
I ran sudo pam-auth-update, enabled "Fingerprint authentication",
selected "OK", and then rebooted.
GDM wouldn't start after the reboot:
Feb 27 06:29:41 jik-x1 /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-wayland-session[1551]:
dbus-daemon[1553]: [session uid=121 pid=1553] Activating service
name='org.freedesktop.systemd1' requested by ':1.0' (uid=121 pid=1551
comm="/usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-wayland-session gnome-session --" label="unconfined")

status 1
Feb 27 06:29:41 jik-x1 /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-wayland-session[1551]: Unable to
register display with display manager
I logged in on a VT and ran pam-auth-update again. I observed that
"Register user sessions in the systemd control group" was not selected,
even though my recollection was that it had been selected before I
enabled fingerprint authentication, and I didn't disable it.
I unselected fingerprint authentication and selected "Register user
sessions in the systemd control group" and rebooted again. GDM started
working again.
