JS ERROR: Failed to initialize fprintd service: Gio.IOErrorEnum: GDBus.Error:net.reactivated.Fprint.Error.NoSuchDevice: No devices available

[Daniel van Vugt]

This error is too noisy and also not an error. Many systems and most desktops won't have fingerprint devices.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

This is still appearing in so many peoples' logs that it misleads you into thinking it's the cause of whatever crash happens after it.

[Batwam (batwam)]

can confirm. what is causing this?
