Anyone know why the fingerprint service daemon would be trying to run on a desktop with no fingerprint reader!? Could that be cause my 1 to 2 second blackscreens? How to disbale or delete that service? thanks

It is enabled by default, please read F40 migrating to the new local profile for local users. You can chose which features are enabled using authselect. I have some new installs, so migrated the old install to keep my systems on the same configuration:

% doas authselect current
Profile ID: local
Enabled features:
- with-silent-lastlog
- with-mdns4
4 
Profile ID: local
Enabled features:
- with-silent-lastlog
- with-mdns4
- with-fingerprint

Added kde-plasma and removed kde

Fedora KDE has a lot of services running, that may only activate software when starting conditions are met.

I dont like this approach, but this means the fprint daemon should not be a problem.

- with-fingerprint

you can reconfigure the local profile and omit the with-fingerprint option.

 sudo authselect select local with-silent-lastlog with-mdns4
