#fingerprint

Docked with the lid shut, every sudo/su/polkit prompt still tries the unreachable fingerprint reader first and makes you wait. Put a tiny lid check in front of pam_fprintd via pam_exec so PAM skips fingerprint and goes straight to the password prompt when the lid is closed — instantly, no daemon, reusing your existing enrolled prints.

After fingerprint login GNOME repeatedly prompts to unlock the password-encrypted Login keyring; the practical workaround (LUKS required) is to remove the keyring password so it auto-unlocks at session start.
