[RESOLVED] Fingerprint not recognized

Framework Laptop 13 Linux
1

I just got my Framework 13 Intel and installed Fedora today! I’ve tried registering a fingerprint but got that it’s not recognized. Followed the guide, with fwupdtool and wget for the fedora cab files, and downgraded as requested but when i tried to do the update after, this is what I got:

melaniecarr@fedora:~$  sudo fwupdtool install --allow-reinstall --allow-older goodix-moc-609c-v01000330.cab

Decompressing…           [ -                                     ]
No supported devices found

Can someone help me figure out what my next steps should be to get it to be recognized?

I recalled seeing something about secure boot and updating the fingerprint reader. You might try turning off secure boot, then updating the firmware for the fingerprint reader. More here: [RESOLVED] Issues following fingerprint reader and BIOS update guides for AMD - #9 by Juan_A_Sanchez - I know that is for AMD, not sure if it holds for Intel as well, but might be worth a try.

You may need to follow the last bit of troubleshooting on this help page (it’s what I needed for my amd batch 7). It sounds like your fingerprint sensor just isn’t detected. I think because fwupd is just too old.

Scroll down to the section titled “TROUBLESHOOTING fwupd is older than 1.8.8”

@cmstew @lbkNhubert thanks! I ended up doing a reboot and retrying, and it worked!
