Hi friends! Has anyone here had success using Yubikeys on Linux? I’ve been going back and forth with support to no avail, trying to get my Yubikey 5C NFC to play nicely on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Any suggestions are appreciated.
I have the following Yubikey-related packages on my system:
libyubikey-udev 1.20.0-3 [Ubuntu/jammy universe]
├── is installed
└── udev rules for unprivileged access to YubiKeys
libyubikey0 1.13-6 [Ubuntu/jammy universe]
├── is installed
└── Yubikey OTP handling library runtime
python3-yubikey-manager 4.0.7-1 [Ubuntu/jammy universe]
├── is installed
└── Python 3 library for configuring a YubiKey — transitional package
yubikey-manager 4.0.7-1 [Ubuntu/jammy universe]

└── Python library and command line tool for configuring a YubiKey
yubikey-manager-qt 1.2.4-1 [Ubuntu/jammy universe]
├── is installed
└── Graphical application for configuring a YubiKey
yubikey-personalization-gui 3.1.24-1build1 [Ubuntu/jammy universe]
├── is installed
└── Graphical personalization tool for YubiKey tokens
libfido2-1 1.10.0-1 [Ubuntu/jammy main]
├── is installed
└── library for generating and verifying FIDO 2.0 objects

└── Python library for implementing FIDO 2.0
pcscd 1.9.5-3ubuntu1 [Ubuntu/jammy universe]
├── is installed
└── Middleware to access a smart card using PC/SC (daemon side)
UPDATE: After working my way down the entire software stack, I contacted the vendor of my USB-C port and requested a replacement. It did the trick…
If that was really true, then most of the enterprise servers would have be using Windows/Mac OSX by now 🤭
There’s a difference between Linux on the desktop (a pile of shit) and Linux on the server (the way to go). Get over it. It hurts but it’s true.
And, the difference is?
The difference is that there’s a lot of commercial support when it comes to supporting Linux servers due to many reasons, when it comes to the desktop it simply isn’t there.
If you require “professional” software such as MS Office, Adobe Apps, Autodesk, NI Circuit Design and whatnot Linux isn’t a viable options. The alternatives wont cut it if you require serious collaboration… virtualization, emulation (wine) may work but won’t be nice. Going for Linux kinda adds the same pains of going macOS but 10x. Once you open the virtualization door your productivity suffers greatly, your CPU/RAM requirements are higher and suddenly you’ve to deal with issues in two operating systems instead of just one. And… let’s face it, nothing with GPU acceleration will ever run decently unless big companies start fixing things - GPU passthroughs and getting video back into the main system are a pain and add delays.
To make things worse the Linux desktop development ecosystem is essentially non existent. The success of Windows and macOS is the fact that they provide solid and stable APIs and development tools that “make it easy” to develop for those platforms and Linux is very bad at that. The major pieces of Linux are constantly and ever changing requiring large and frequent re-works of apps. There aren’t distribution “sponsored” IDEs (like Visual Studio or Xcode), userland API documentation, frameworks etc.
I don’t think you are correct. You will need to get over this. Thanks in advance.
Is there a Lemmy version of lostredditors?
