Fingerprint reader does not work

this authselect part may be needed too, it was for me to have it show up in the gnome UI:

From that post :slight_smile: > Configure fingerprint reader

Install the needed packages
sudo dnf install fprintd fprintd-pam

Make sure the service is enabled and running

systemclt status fprintd.service

If it needs to be enabled or started

systemclt enable fprintd.service
systemclt start fprintd.service

Erase any old prints
fprintd-delete $USER

Let’s enroll your new fingerprints
fprintd-enroll

Verify new fingerprints
fprintd-verify

Make sure PAM is authenticated for fingerprints

sudo authselect enable-feature with-fingerprint
sudo authselect apply-changes

Verify it

sudo authselect current

Upon reboot, your fingerprint will allow you login.
