Lock screen frozen

[tajfundbm]

Hi I have bought new laptop today and wanted to install endeavour on it. I went good but I also wanted my fingerprint scanner to work so I wanted to try this Support for fingerprint reader - #7 by joekamprad. I wrote " yay -S fingerprint-gui" and after it was completed I put my laptop to sleep and closed lid. After like 10 minutes I wanted to continue installation but laptop is frozen at lock screen and even time froze. Keyboard doesn’t work. Is there a way to fix it(without opening the insides)?

Hold the power button in till it reboots (then read up on, and enable REISUB).

[Tip] Enable Magic SysRq Key (REISUB)

The Linux kernel authors have provided a very nice feature of issuing low-level commands to the kernel directly, regardless of the state the system is in. This is called the “Magic SysRq Key”, because these commands are issued by pressing the SysRq key on the keyboard (if you can’t find it, typically, it shares the same physical key as the Print Screen key, but on some laptops it can be elsewhere). A common use is to reboot when the computer freezes and becomes unresponsive due to some software…

I held power button several times but it didn’t work until I read your post. I will read about REISUB. Thanks

Yes

Brill. All computers hang, resume from suspend is always a prime candidate for a hang-up.
