Ubuntu 11.10 Beta(2) Problem: Gemplus GemPC Twin SmartCard Reader + libccid + pcsc

Asked by Stig Endresen

I have spent the better part of a few days trying to get this card reader to work correctly. This card reader function correctly with older distributions of Ubuntu. I actually expected this to work flawless but it seem to me like the device is forced into a sleep mode or maybe something with rights isn't correct.

Below is all logs I managed to produce:

I managed to get the Gemplus GemPC Twin SmartCard Reader working on (K)Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric) with this:

sudo apt-get install pcsc-tools pcscd

# and add this line to /etc/rc.local before "exit":
pscs_scan

# Afterwards restart

Perhaps this link could help people with another Debian-based GNU/Linux Distro:

In #1 there's a typo. Correct is:
pcsc_scan

The #1 Does not work for me. The cardreader doesn't sleep but no success in login in on web with it.

pcsc_scan only confirm that card is present. This problem is the same in 12.04 alpha.

Java expect to find libpcsclite.so within /usr/lib, /usr/lib64, /usr/lib/64, or /usr/local/lib so linking /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcsclite.so.1.0.0 into /usr/lib solves that. I also needed to remove libopenct and openct packages so that libccid was used by pcscd.

Currently working with openjdk and icedtea-plugin. Hopefully someone can confirm this solution for Ubuntu releases later than 11.04.

Addon to previous post.

ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcsclite.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libpcsclite.so is needed for using cardreader with Java. It shouldn't be that different for i386 platform.
