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 Desktop Packages, 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..." Status in fprintd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in fprintd package in Fedora: Confirmed Bug description: When waking my laptop screen up at the lock screen, it takes a very long time to display the password prompt (definitely longer than 30s, possibly longer than 1m - I didn't time it). I notice that while waiting for the password prompt, the screen is showing a full list of (obfuscated) desktop notifications. After logging in, I used the gnome-shell interface to clear the notifications; then I locked my screen again, at which point hitting the space bar caused the password prompt to show up immediately. So it looks like the time to display the password prompt might scale linearly with the number of notifications; which is not useful, because there is a finite number of (obfuscated!) notifications that will be displayed on the lock screen, and AFAIK you can't interact with them through the lock screen at all. So we shouldn't be wasting time processing (and presumably rendering) notifications that will never be visible.
