Public bug reported: Hi, So I got this error as I described on the mailing of fprintd: **** So I have the problem that often after LID open it seems that fprintd does not seem to respond to the PAM module, thus I have about 30 sec of no way of logging in my session, which is a bit frustrating - I get the screen, but no option for finger verification or password. After ~30-40sec I get the password field finally, but note that fprintd has 10 sec timeout in the PAM module. After putting out debug on I got this:

Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. Any idea how to fix this or what exactly is the issue? *** As suggest by Vasily Khoruzhick, I'm posting this here after I recompiled libfprintd and fprintd with debug on for more logging. Also note that I now I use 0.6.0 rather than 0.5.1. The error is still there, but now I have more logs (hope they help someone): Feb 22 00:51:43 botev-ThinkPad-T440 systemd-logind[588]: Lid closed.
