2 years ago What fingerprint reader are you using? Did it work in Pop!_OS 21.04? If you're only testing in a live disk of Pop!_OS 21.10, does it also work in a live disk of Ubuntu 21.10?

2 years ago Yes, it does work with the Ubuntu 21.10 Live USB. I never tried Pop 21.04
This is the fingerprint hardware, on a Lenovo P1 Gen 4.

1 year ago I still haven't seen this work in 22.04. I don't even see my fingerprint reader when doing a hardware probe, or in lsusb, weirdly.
I do see a couple reports online from users that supposedly got it working, though, e.g. here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LinuxOnThinkpad/comments/qhoj7v/thinkpad_x1_extreme_gen_4_and_p1_gen_4_how_is/
How did you upgrade to 21.10? (Fresh install / Upgrade) Live USB boot.
Related Application and/or Package Version (run
apt policy $PACKAGE NAME): Login screen (gdm?)Issue/Bug Description:
Fingerprint login does not seem to be supported.
Steps to reproduce (if you know):
Expected behavior:
Fingerprint login should work.
Other Notes: Ubuntu 21.10 supports it in its default Gnome desktop, so I know my hardware is supported by Linux.
