I have an HP Probook 640 G1 with a Valditity Sensors VFS495 Fingerprint reader.
I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 with KDE-Plasma Desktop Environment (Kubuntu). I can't seem to use the fingerprint sensor to unlock my device or even get it setup. I'm not sure what to do. I downloaded the drivers on HP's website. Here is the terminal output for when I was installing the driver and it seemed successful:

Is there something I'm not doing or am missing. And there is no option in settings to setup fingerprints. Can someone help me get it working.
