Fedora37-12thGen.md

This is for 12th Gen Intel® Core™ Framework Laptop 13 ONLY.

This Fedora guide will assist with:

• Workaround needed to get the best suspend battery life for SSD power drain.
• Enable improved fractional scaling support Fedora's GNOME environment using Wayland.
• Enable tap to click on the touchpad.
• Getting your finger print reader working for Fedora user login.

Make sure to update your packages first

sudo dnf upgrade

Enable brightness keys

sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="module_blacklist=hid_sensor_hub"

If you want to enable fractional scaling on Wayland:

gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"

If you want to enable tap-to-click on the touchpad:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad tap-to-click true

Improve power saving for NVMe drives:

sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="nvme.noacpi=1"

If your Fedora 37 install is experiencing freezing, use this to prevent freezing:

sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="i915.enable_psr=0"

Configure the fingerprint reader

This may not always be needed, but as of late, these steps have been needed in Fedora 37 with recent updates.

Install the needed packages

sudo dnf install fprintd fprintd-pam

NEW - Make sure to complete the following.

sudo gnome-text-editor /usr/lib/systemd/system/fprintd.service

At the bottom of the file, add:

[Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

Save the file.

systemctl restart fprintd.service

Enable fprintd even if previously enabled, this will make sure it's working after reboot.

systemctl enable fprintd.service

Erase any old fingerprints

fprintd-delete $USER

Enroll your new fingerprint

fprintd-enroll

Verify your new fingerprint

fprintd-verify

Make sure PAM is authenticated for your fingerprint

sudo authselect enable-feature with-fingerprint

sudo authselect apply-changes

Verify it that the fingerprint reader is authorized

This will list what has been authorized.

sudo authselect current

If authselect looks good, upon reboot, your fingerprint will allow you login.
