Automated post-install setup of Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 on the Framework

Framework Laptop 13 Linux

Thanks!

I ran the script – output looked good :upside_down_face:

but, the script left me in the same state before I started looking into how to fix the fingerprint reader (and post 22.04 upgrade).

Anything that requires sudo now tries to interact with the fingerprint reader (expected), but times out (unexpected), and locks up the auth process until that timeout.

So, for example, on the Settings → Users → me screen, I can’t click “Unlock” until “something times out”, and then the fingerprint option under “Authentication and Login” is removed.

Here is my output of:

time sudo apt policy \
  libfprint-2-2 fprintd \
  libpam-fprintd gir1.2-fprint-2.0 \
  fprintd-doc libfprint-2-doc

The daemon has an error – I did some light googling, but the only answer I found wasn’t for Ubuntu, and the solution was “downgrade” – which doesn’t seem quite right
