My issue: 1) Meta + L works fine. 2) Sleep, immediate wake and then fingerprint unlock works fine. Specifically it works until the amount of time defined under "Screen Locking" > "Delay before password required" has passed. 3) After that "Delay before password required" amount of time has passed, the fingerprint unlock option isn't shown and doesn't work. I'd be curious if you're getting similar polkit errors as I mentioned in my first few comments. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
