[Intrepid] Smartcard adapter does not work any more (Gemplus Twin)

[Jan]

The smart card reader was working before and is still working under Windows. Now I can not get it working on Ubuntu any more. When connecting to Ubuntu 8.10 (beta) the following messages appear in /var/log/messages :

remove the openct package and try again.

Yes, you are right. This was the reason for the problem.

Hi I have a very similar problem on my newly installed Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10

My reader is an Omnikey 5321 USB pcscd output:

I suppose something is having an exclusive lock on my reader and that's why it wouldn't correctly load the driver.

Shall I open a new bug?

cheers, Steve

You should report the bug to the pcsc-omnikey package providing the ifdokrfid_lnx-2.6.0 driver. This software is non-free. Good luck.
