something isn't right with 06cb:009a, see https://github.com/uunicorn/python-validity/issues/106 https://github.com/uunicorn/open-fprintd/issues/12
Interesting note: On Ubuntu 20.04 LTS it only happened occasionally. I have since switched to using Arch Linux on that laptop. It now happens every time.
After waking my laptop from suspend to RAM today the fingerprint reader failed to work. Normally open-fprintd-resume.service takes care of that. I connected with ssh from another computer and got the following log from journald:
Restarting this service on it's own did not help, I had to restart the main open-fprintd.service to get it to work.
I could not reproduce the issue by putting the laptop back to suspend and resuming it (the laptop hang and didn't want to resume at all). After a reboot I could not reproduce the issue at all. Thus, it seems like the system was in a "weird state" overall, and thus perhaps nothing to care about.
However, this issue completely blocked login. It would not fall back to a password prompt (either in gdm or in the VTs). If I had not been at home and had access to ssh login via another computer this would have forced me to reboot without the ability of saving my work first. Thus I believe it would be a good idea to fail gracefully in a situation like this, if the issue itself cannot be corrected.
