    <p>Greetings,</p>
    <p>I have SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) 15 SP5 and I use KDE
      Plasma X11 with fprintd package installed (<span
style=" font-family:'Verdana','Geneva','Arial','Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size:small;">v
        1.94.2-bp155.2.3.1</span>) to unlock the desktop using the
      integrated fingerprint reader of an HP ZBook 17 G8 Fury (lsusb
      says: "Bus 003 Device 003: ID 06cb:00f0 Synaptics, Inc." which is
      supported by fprint). <br>
    </p>
    <p>It worked fine for some weeks but after some SLED 15 SP5 updates
      (using zypper up), something broke fprintd package and SuSE
      Technical Support does not find what :-(</p>
    <p>I can't unlock anymore the desktop with my fingerprint. I get
      "Unlocking failed" error message and I have to enter the password
      with the keyboard as before.
      <br>
    </p>
    <p>A few commands I tested:</p>
