The fingerprint reader is not yet supported on 6th gen X1.I never tried to get the LTE modem working. Funnily, I didn't even realize that the slot existed for almost a year after purchase.

I don't know which model of fingerprint reader is in the 6th gen, but on the 7th gen, enabling the beta firmware made it work perfectly. $ fwupdmgr enable-remote lvfs-testing If you temporarily enable, apply the Prometheus fingerprint updates then disable you won't need to worry about installing unstable firmware that will affect the system more widely.

  fwupdmgr / LVFS is such a breath of fresh air compared to the various old vendor specific fw update procedures!

    The novelty of updating firmware via a GUI on Linux still hasn't worn off.

  > I don't know which model of fingerprint reader is in the 6th gen, but on the 7th gen, enabling the beta firmware made it work perfectly. The USB id of the fingerprint reader on X1C6 is 06cb:009a while on X1C7 it is 06cb:00bd. This is the list of supported devices: https://fprint.freedesktop.org/supported-devices.html https://fprint.freedesktop.org/supported-devices.html As you can see the one for X1C7 is supported, X1C6 unfortunately isn't. This is their gitlab issue for it: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/issues/134 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/issues/13...

It works on gen 7 with Ubuntu 20.04. I think it wasn't out of the box though and I needed to do some tweaks
