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]

└── 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...
Are you talking about 2FA login for your own user account or U2F/PIV/WebAuthn in your browser? The latter seems to work out of the box on any non-snap or flatpak browser, but the former needs a bit more setup as that is not a standard feature in Ubuntu yet. I recommend using ykman and yubico-piv-tool for configuring yubikeys in linux, but Yubico also provides a GUI application on their website
Definitely the latter. I have only tried using the Flatpak version of Firefox, but the system won't even detect the key so it's no shock Firefox can't either...
