[RESOLVED] Framework AMD Fingerprint reader not working

Framework Laptop 13 Linux
16

Someone else referenced the root cause for this GUID error here, can’t find that post at the moment found it. TLDR is still:

  • The cab file needs some more specific metadata as of fwupd 1.9.7, and IIRC it will have to have that meta to be made available on LVFS.

  • You should be able to temporarily downgrade fwupd to 1.9.5 (version at the time of F39’s release):

    $ sudo dnf --disablerepo updates distro-sync fwupd*

Is this ok [y/N]:

    Remember to sudo dnf update fwupd* after you’ve updated the FP reader.
