ArchLinux on Thinkpad T14 gen 1

Installation

Just use ArchLinux installation guide

Fix WiFi

Create /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf file:

options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8

Done!

Make systemd happy

Create /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file:

blacklist snd_pci_acp3x
blacklist sp5100_tco

Done!

Fingerprint sensor

Boot into BIOS and clear stored fingerprints.

Install latest firmware for "Synaptics Prometheus Fingerprint Reader":

fwupdmgr enable-remote lvfs-testing
fwupdmgr get-devices
fwupdmgr refresh
fwupdmgr get-updates
fwupdmgr update
fwupdmgr disable-remote lvfs-testing

Install fprintd:

pacman -S fprintd

Train your sensor:

fprintd-enroll

If you use lightdm insert auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so into /etc/pam.d/lightdm.

#%PAM-1.0

auth        sufficient  pam_fprintd.so
auth        include     system-login
-auth       optional    pam_gnome_keyring.so
account     include     system-login
password    include     system-login
session     include     system-login
-session    optional    pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start

Done! Now you can login via lightdm without password.

Smartcard reader

Working from the box, follow instrunction

Fix issue with $HOME/.config/locale.conf

In my case xfce4 or lightdm ignores everything in $HOME/.config/locale.conf. To fix this add into /etc/environment line LC_ALL=:

My /etc/environment content:

#
# This file is parsed by pam_env module
#
# Syntax: simple "KEY=VAL" pairs on separate lines
#
LANG=

Done!

I don't know who overrides $LANG variable before execute /etc/profile.d/locale.sh, but trick above fix that.

Troubleshooting

USB-A ports on both sides stopped working

Shutting down laptop and battery reset via small pinhole did the trick - USB A ports are now operational (source)

xhci_hcd 0000:06:00.0: failed to load firmware renesas_usb_fw.mem, fallback to ROM
