Yubikey on Linux?
(self.linux)
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]
├── is installed
└── 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
python3-fido2 0.9.1-1 [Ubuntu/jammy universe]

└── 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...
Tumbleweed user here. Thinking of buying a yubikey; is it easy to setup for logins etc or does it involve terminal commands etc. I mean is there a repository app?
I'm afraid I can't remember how I did it, it was some time ago on a machine I no longer have. There is some advice here:

There's an appimage for their manager app there. You might also try using Distrobox to give yourself access to a distro that uses apt, and then add Yubico's PPA and install the software from there. I don't know whether it would work but in principle it should.
