Bug Description
My fingerprint reader does not work after "waking up" my laptop.
This happens on both fingeprint GUI as well as fprint.
There is a workaround for fprint, fingeprint GUI crashed everytime. Had to uninstall.
Steps to reproduce when using fprint:
- go into suspend mode
- resume
- lightdm greeter says "swipe your finger…"
- nothing happens when swiping
- Wait until time out -
- lightdm asks for password
- press enter (without entering any password)
- lightdm says again "swipe your finger…"
- now it works
