Quote

The Chip Side should be up..

when do i plug it into the usb?before i complete this process or after,(I KNOW THESE ARE BASIC QUESTIONS BUT I CANT FIND ANY INFO)

If you have it configured correctly, just boot the server with the omnikey connected.. It does not matter when you insert the card, it will be recognised by oscam..

Ok ive logged into ubuntu server as root and entered the 2 cmds in tut.
now im faced with a GNU nano 2.2.6 file: ect/opensc/opensc.conf screen

with menu at the bottom.

Im defo missing what im supposed do do next???

You have to Un-hash & Edit the lines mentioned in the omnikey tut (Unhashing the lines makes them active in the code). From memory, these lines are not easy to find as this is a big file but be patient and you will find them.. You can omit the line below from the omnikey tut.

provider_library = /lib/libpcsclite.so.1

But all the other lines in the tut should be added/unhashed or edited as suggested in tut..

reader_drivers = pcsc, ctapi;
try_emulation_first = yes;
lock_login = false;

And dont just stop there, finish off the omnikey tut!

Good luck

Best way to find out which way to put a card in a slot is check where the metal bits are that touch the chip on the card - shine a torch in the slot and you will see. Always chip end first, and on the omnikey the chip faces you as you put it in, so where you see the front side of the omnikey, so long as you see the chip as you are putting it in then it is the right way!

theres no lines or files on the page

Well then you have not installed properly. Follow the tut!

sudo apt-get install opensc pcscd libccid

m8 looking over all your threads, a lot of them seem to be because you missed steps etc, you will have to follow these tuts to the letter if you want results.
I found it easier to edit the opensc.conf file by using WinSCP as root user and navigating to /etc/opensc/, right clicking on the opensc.conf file and clicking edit. Make all your changes and save..

I have been sat for 24 hours entering everything to the word or at least i thought i had,i havent missed anything i dont think.
what part do i need to redo?

I explained above, If you ran

sudo apt-get install opensc pcscd libccid

then you will have a file located in etc/opensc called opensc.conf and it will not be blank!

i am right in logging in as root to do this omnikey part?

Yes, I always log in as root in putty & WinSCP. Logging in as root gives you full access to files that are protected as normal user..

Go to this post and download Ten Below's file and FTP it as he explains. This forum does the work for you. !!

Edit : sorry just saw you are using Ubuntu. have a look at file anyway and you will see where to edit

Or if you look in the tutorials section there is also http://linuxsat-support.com/li…key-readers-linux-pc.html

When you have done that, head over to the OSCam tutorials, there are a few with info you will probably need -

http://linuxsat-support.com/os…s-smargo-omnikey-etc.html

Now your OSCam configs, what are you using Oscam/CCCam?

The configs for OSCam are in this thread - http://linuxsat-support.com/os…pdating-entitlements.html

Id put this one to one side for when you got it running to check things - http://linuxsat-support.com/os…nts-when-using-oscam.html

Its likely that any difficulties you encounter, someone else already has, or one of the other longer serving staff have wrote a tutorial.

Personally, the way I did it was, more or less took the configs from my box, and amended them to reflect the fact that I wasn't using the CI on a STB, but an Omnikey.

The majority of the information, actually id even say all the information you need is in this forum, its there are so many different possible combinations of everything that part of what you need may be tied in with some stuff that is irrelevant.

Now ive done that short version -

oscam.conf

[global]
nice = -1
WaitForCards = 1
logfile = stdout
preferlocalcards = 1
saveinithistory = 1

[webif]
httpport = 8888
httpuser = admin
httppwd = admin
httpallowed = 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.254
#httprefresh = 3

# protocols
[newcamd]
key = 0102030405060708091011121314
port = 10000@0963:000000;

oscam.user

[account]
user = cccam
pwd = cccam
monlevel = 0
uniq = 0
group = 1,2
au = 1
caid = 0963

oscam.server

[reader]
label = smargo1
protocol = pcsc
device = 0
detect = cd
cardmhz = 600
mhz = 600
blockemm-u = 0
blockemm-s = 0
blockemm-g = 1
blockemm-unknown = 1
emmcache = 1,3,2
group = 1
caid = 0963

Put the configs in /usr/local/etc/ and make sure you check the permissions on them.

I still use this to refer to - http://linuxsat-support.com/li…oscam-cccam-commands.html

Sorry I used your post as an example, im relatively new on the scene to so I am very much still still learning as well.

I think people learn more, through getting through as many of the problems they can thierself and then asking for help, breaking a problem down into smaller parts and trying to find the answer for that, then look at the next part.

Members are also more likely to get more favorable set of results from the search function this way and for the record, im very much a hippocrit because I was probably annoying the c**p out of thers when I first joined.
