  • hey guys, i have got an omnikey 3121. but i am having problems getting the drivers to instal.
    i have followed this tut, > i will edit the parts i have struggled with. hopefully someone can shed some light on what has gone wrong.


    Ubuntu way:



    Code:
    sudo apt-get install opensc pcscd libccid Next command:



    Code:
    nano /etc/opensc/opensc.conf And change thise lines by removing # from front and reader_drivers lines u delete one comand too:
    reader_drivers = pcsc, ctapi; >can not find this line, i will post what lines i found at botton of post.
    try_emulation_first = yes;
    lock_login = false;
    provider_library = /lib/libpcsclite.so.1 i found line = libpcsclite.so.1 and edited to read = /lib/libpcsclite.so.1 is this correct?
    If that is done hit from keyboard ctrl+o and enter, then ctrl+x to exit

    Next give command:



    Code:
    opensc-tool ?list-readers And you should see your reader there present like so, but with your reader info. Examlpe:

    Readers known about:
    Nr. Driver Name
    0 pcsc Omnikey 1020

    How to disable pcscd never ending loggin to /var/log/messages what can write your /var partion full after some time.
    Please enter next commands under putty or over terminal command line as root:
    nano /etc/init.d/pcscd

    There look next lines:
    # if you need to pass arguments to pcscd you should edit the file
    # /etc/default/pcscd and add a line
    # DAEMON_ARGS=??your-option?

    And please change it to:
    # if you need to pass arguments to pcscd edit to:
    # /etc/default/pcscd and add a line
    DAEMON_ARGS="-e"
    And hit from the keyboard ctrl+o and enter to save the changes and ctrl+x to exit

    Next command to restart pcsc:


    Code:
    /etc/init.d/pcscd restart Done. No more log from pcsc except start up log if you restart the PC and if there is error

  • everything in green was found, and edited without a problem, i have highlighted the troublsome parts in red,


    and obviously my reader didnt show up when given the command.


    reader_driver = ctapi }

    found in place of reader_drivers = pcsc, ctapi;


    search through all lines, but no luck :-/

    is there a way to reinstal the package? i may have got giddy and edited a bit more than i should have.... i have ran the original 2 commands again but nothing changed.


    after running opensc-tool -l i get 'no readers found


    No need to reinstall, look at posts 10 & 19 the hard bit has been done for you.

  • thanks buddy, think i will try again tomorrow. gotta take the wife out now ;-/


    wow that was easy, thank you to everyone who makes these files possible, i would have been at it for days before realizing the files differ.


    moving on............
