I ordered the input cover with the fingerprint reader. terminal states
“gir1.2-fprint-2.0 is already the newest version (1:1.94.3+tod1-0ubuntu2~22.04.04).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.”
I tried updating the kernel as suggested but this showed up
"$ sudo apt install -y linux-image-5.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64

E: Couldn’t find any package by glob ‘linux-image-5.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64’
After following the instructions at GitHub - uunicorn/python-validity: Validity fingerprint sensor prototype which led to the following
“sudo systemctl status python3-validity
× python3-validity.service - python-validity driver dbus service
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/python3-validity.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

I tried the Error Situations which left no resolve. Looking for a bit of hand-holding on this one. as the line “list devices failed” occurs after following all instructions.
python3-validity.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
python3-validity.service: Failed with result ‘exit-code’
I followed the community thread /19309/4 which resulted
request sent, awaiting response… 404 Not Found

I went to upgrade the Kernel but it didn’t take
$ sudo apt install -y linux-image-5.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64

I’m at a total loss. Please help.
