Dell pro 14 plus (PB14250) - Fingerprint reader doesn't work
I just bought a dell pro 14 plus, and the seller ensured me it will work fine with ubuntu (I also specifically asked about the fingerprint reader).
I installed ubuntu from the iso provided by Dell website, and the fingerprint is recognized (Usually when it's not, ubuntu doesn't show the fingerprint option in the users section).
But when I try to enroll, nothing happens. I also tried fprintd-enroll, but no logs are added when I place my finger over the sensor.
I verified it's turned on in the BIOS settings. I'm on the latest BIOS according to Dell's website.
This is the device ID
ID 0a5c:5865 Broadcom Corp. 58200
No Events found!
