Use the files here and the steps below to configure a laptop to enable and disable fingerprint auth support in PAM when the lid is opened or closed.

NOTE: Currently not working is setting the correct state when the machine first boots. It is just whatever is last.

Setup Requirements

Install acpid
Enable acpid

$ sudo apt install --assume-yes acpid

Transfer Whole Disk Windows 10 VM to new drive with Linux

Moving all of my Windows 10 VMs from a 2TB hybrid drive (sda) to a 512GB NVME (nvme1n1). This only worked so easily because the Windows system partition was only 160GB to begin with, so it was going to grow instead of shrink.

The original partition map on sda was as follows:

label: gpt
label-id: DF9036C3-BB74-4013-B1DE-B4E3B60B9BC3

	"yaml.customTags": [
	"!Base64 scalar",
	"!Cidr scalar",
	"!And sequence",
	"!Equals sequence",
	"!If sequence",
	"!Not sequence",
	"!Or sequence",
	"!Condition scalar",
	"!FindInMap sequence",
