Greetings,
I have SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) 15 SP5 and I use KDE Plasma
X11 with fprintd package installed (v 1.94.2-bp155.2.3.1) to unlock the
desktop using the integrated fingerprint reader of an HP ZBook 17 G8
Fury (lsusb says: "Bus 003 Device 003: ID 06cb:00f0 Synaptics, Inc."
which is supported by fprint).
It worked fine for some weeks but after some SLED 15 SP5 updates (using
zypper up), something broke fprintd package and SuSE Technical Support
does not find what :-(
I can't unlock anymore the desktop with my fingerprint. I get "Unlocking
failed" error message and I have to enter the password with the keyboard
as before.
A few commands I tested:

Any idea on how to investigate this problem would be very much appreciated.
Thanks a lot by now.
