Fingerprint reader not working after sleep

Hi,

I recently received my AMD Framework 13 (7840) on Fedora 40 Workstation, and set up the fingerprint reader. Sometimes when opening the lid and waking it from sleep, the fingerprint doesn’t register on the login screen. I don’t get an error or anything, and I would just use my password. I’ve tried resetting my fingerprint and it doesn’t seem to fix it. I don’t get any errors appearing, it’s as if it was turned off or disabled. However, it does always work when I’m using a sudo command. Any advice would be appreciated!

Thank you.

Are you sure this is a Framework issue, but not a Fedora issue?

I’m using the Framework 16 under KDE Platforms 6, and sometimes I get the fingerprint stop working by some reason, seems rarely.

Do you see any error from journald?

I’m on a Framework 16 ( 7840HS ) and (rarely) after resume the fingerprint reader doesn’t show on KDE Plasma lock/unlock screen.

If I suspend and resume again straight after, it’s working again.

I see no warnings or errors and in the 7 months I’ve had my FW16, it’s happened less than 10 times

I’m not sure what the issue is and this has been happening with BIOS 3.03 and now 3.04beta ( I don’t remember for 3.02 )

I actually have this same issue running fedora 40 on my fw13 amd. It is not reproducible with my lenovo thinkpad t15 gen 2 running fedora 40 workstation.

I’m experiencing this issue when using my AMD Framework 13 which is running Fedora 40 KDE.

Though, one exception is that it seems to occur some-what consistently if the laptop sleeps for long enough.

Also worth mentioning is that if I sign back in manually then suspend it again, the fingerprint reader will work if I wake it up right after.

Pretty much same behavior for me too!
