My laptop shipped with an up to date bios of 3.03 and I’ve followed the steps to get on the OEM kernel.

I followed the guide for updating the fingerprint firmware, but can’t get the device to be detected.

I think its because when I check fwupdmgr --version, the version for org.freedesktop.fwupd isn’t changing from 1.7.9 to something older than 1.8.8 like the instructions say.

I am new to Linux so I may be doing something wrong, but was hoping someone had some ideas!

    you need to stop the fprintd daemon during your upgrade: systemctl stop fprintd

    without this I got a timeout. hope this helps :)
