I am using Fedora 33 (fresh install) on a Thinkpad Carbon 8Gen. I have configured my fingerprint reader via “fprintd-enroll”. The finger got successfully enrolled.
Issue:
While I can get past the login screen using the fingerprint, the keyring does not seem to get automatically unlocked and the first application I run cause a popup asking me to enter my password.
Is this an expected behaviour? Is there a way to have the fingerprint automatically unlock the keyring?
Additionally, I could enrol my finger only via terminal. If I try via “Settings → Users” the UI crash when I press “Scan new fingerprint” and I select a finger.
I have the same issue, except for that your UI crashes where mine never has. Would anybody know why the login keyring does not get unlocked when scanning your finger?
I was pleasantly surprised that the fingerprint sensor in my Thinkpad T14 worked on Fedora 33 and was easy to setup. The problem mentioned seems to be caused by gnome-keyring insisting on a password. Searching a bit online I found multiple mentions of this issue with various Linux distributions.
