I called Lenovo and asked and the support rep I spoke with said that the X1 Carbon's fingerprint reader isn't supported in Linux yet. I don't know whether to trust that information as accurate, but that's what he said. I don't know whether that's worthy of a separate bug report or not.

I have a new Thinkpad X1 Carbon 6th generation. I can see the fingerprint reader right next to the trackpad, and the specs say that it has one, but I don't see it showing up in the output of lspci or lsusb. Maybe I'm missing it?

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1817897] Re: attempting to enable fingerprint with pam-auth-update breaks gdm
You are right that pam shouldn't lead to gdm not working in any case. Knowing the context help to define the priority of the issue though. The initial report/tools indicate that you are on 19.04, fingerprint authentification should work out of the box there (if you have a supported reader, which might be the issue, what device do you have?).

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1817897] Re: attempting to enable fingerprint with pam-auth-update breaks gdm
So, whether or not I needed to run pam-auth-update, doing so and enabling fingerprint authentication there should not cause GDM to break, nor should the other weird behavior I described above be happening. Having said that, yes, I was trying to enable login with fingerprint. I googled how to do that on Ubuntu and found this page, https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/session-fingerprint.html.en. But when I followed the instructions there and opened the Users panel, there was nothing there about fingerprint login. So I googled more and found this page, https://askubuntu.com/questions/1049526/fingerprint- activation-on-ubuntu-18-04, which mentioned using pam-auth-update to ensure that fingerprint authentication was enabled. So I ran pam-auth- update and found that it wasn't enabled and enabled it, which led to the problems described above. If I shouldn't have had to do any of that to be able to configure fingerprint login, then something else is wrong and I don't even know where to start looking to figure out what, but regardless of that, the issues that I encountered with pam-auth-update behaving poorly are still real. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pam in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1817897 Title: attempting to enable fingerprint with pam-auth-update breaks gdm Status in pam package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I ran sudo pam-auth-update, enabled "Fingerprint authentication", selected "OK", and then rebooted.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1817897] Re: attempting to enable fingerprint with pam-auth-update breaks gdm
Thanks for your bug report, what do you need pam-auth-update? What are you trying to configure?

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1817897] Re: attempting to enable fingerprint with pam-auth-update breaks gdm
Actually, it's even weirder than that. I went through all this several times while trying to narrow down the repro steps, and it's all very bizarre. Somehow I managed to get gdm working again, and then in a logged in gdm session, I enabled fingerprint, and exited from pam-auth-update, then ran pam-auth-update again and disabled fingerprint and re-enabled register user sessions which had once again somehow magically gotten disabled, but then I ran pam-auth-update a third time and register user sessions was STILL disabled even though I'd just enabled it, and then when I rebooted GDM wouldn't work again. So at that point I logged in on a VT and ran pam- auth-update again and selected register user sessions again, and then just out of curiosity ran pam-auth-update again and this time register user sessions was still selected, so I exited and rebooted and GDM worked again. There is something very bizarre going on here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pam in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1817897 Title: attempting to enable fingerprint with pam-auth-update breaks gdm Status in pam package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I ran sudo pam-auth-update, enabled "Fingerprint authentication", selected "OK", and then rebooted.
