gnome-shell and fprintd : Authorization denied to :1.65 to call method 'Claim' for device 'Elan MOC Sensors': Device was already claimed

[Laurent Bonnaud]

Hi,

I have registered a fingerprint in fprintd and when when system boots and starts gdm, the following error messages are logged:

# journalctl -b | grep fprintd
