Thank you @lightrush That command qualifies as finding the correct library modules to install. after performing the reinstall command, and rebooting, the system responded as expected. It no longer has a long wait when trying to initially log in. Presumably that was a timeout scenario due to fprintd not being active. The fingerprint I had previous registered was apparently remembered, and I didn’t even have to register a new own. I will be happy to use only official sources, I am new to working at that level with a Linux or Unix like system. Not really familiar with sudo, apt, package names, and where to find them, and my google searches didn’t seem to be asking the right question. I probably would not have tried to re-install all five packages, assuming I even knew to find they were all required. ---

That causes `fprintd` to not use the system-installed one. Delete it, also look around if you see other remnants to delete in `/usr/local/lib` or `/usr/local/bin` that you don’t need. Those directories are empty by default and Ubuntu’s packages don’t put anything in there. Whatever’s there came from manual installation or a package that didn’t come from Ubuntu’s repos. If you don’t recognise what’s in there, you should probably delete it. So I just tried deleting the extraneous files on my computer too and it won’t let me delete them. It keeps saying I don’t have permissions. I’m pretty new to Linux. Am I missing something? ---

> [@lightrush](#): > > [xkcd: Sandwich](https://xkcd.com/149/) I found the sudo command and got the files deleted, but not fast enough to come delete by dumb question 😬 But the good news is, my computer seems to be recognizing my fingerprint reader again. Thanks for helping out a noob! ---

Stick with packages that come from Ubuntu’s official repositories and use Snaps and Flatpaks instead of adding third party repos when Snaps and Flatpaks exist. It’s the noob-friendly recipe to avoid breakage like this. ---

Can someone point me to the upgrade procedure? I’ve been running 21.10 for some time and occasionally I see a notice of it being obsolete but it’s always when I’m not in a good spot to update. I opened the software and updates app but see no way to upgrade from there. ---

Proper solution for upgrading no-longer-maintained versions is here: [How to upgrade Ubuntu 21.10 to 22.04 after EOL? - Server Fault](https://serverfault.com/questions/1106691/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-21-10-to-22-04-after-eol) [Previous page](https://community.frame.work/t/upgrading-to-ububtu-22-04-issues-etc/18111.md?page=1)
