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
