2 omnikeys on 64 bit ubuntu 12.04 server

Have you had any luck with this?
I might be going over old ground for you, but did you do your install from the tutorial here?
I made a very simple error, which had a similar result to the one you're getting. During the install, you have to edit the /etc/init.d/pcscd file

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

I had not removed the # from in front of this line, once I realised, and removed it, it solved my omnikeys not being seen on reboot.

Another thought, how are you pointing at your omnikeys in oscam.server?
I have seen:
device = 0
device = /dev/ttyUSB0
device = 002:003

For me, dev = 0 for first card dev = 1 for second etc etc

Hi phility, done the "-e" bit as well
rangers19873 pointed out about
provider_library = /lib/libpcsclite.so.1 (this line needs editing to add /lib/ in front of it
but looking there is no such place, What did you do here??
this is my configs for pcsc.
device = 0
device = /dev/ttyUSB0
device = 002:003
for 1st device what about 2nd, i am doing
protocol = pcsc
device = 0 (1st)

protocol = pcsc
device = 1 (2nd)
any help welcome and ta for the info m8..

This line:

provider_library = /lib/libpcsclite.so.1 (this line needs editing to add /lib/ in front of it

Is in that file mate, you need to scroll down quite a bit though. You can search for it, by hitting Ctrl and w, and enter something like "pcsclite". You are right, it doesn't have the extra /lib/, so you will have to add it. Just make it identical to the instructions. Then hit Ctrl and x, and it will ask you if you want to save. Hit y, and when asked what filename to save, just hit enter (it's already named correctly).

As for your oscam.server settings, try something like:

[reader]
label                         = ***uk
protocol                      = pcsc
device                        = 0
caid                          = 0963
detect                        = cd
mhz                           = 357
cardmhz                       = 357
ident                         = 0963:000000
group                         = 1
emmcache                      = 1,3,2
blockemm-unknown              = 1
blockemm-g                    = 1
lb_weight                     = 101




[reader]
label                         = Omni2
protocol                      = pcsc
device                        = 1
caid                          = 0500
detect                        = cd
mhz                           = 357
cardmhz                       = 357
ident                         = 0500:000000
group                         = 2
emmcache                      = 1,3,2
blockemm-unknown              = 1
blockemm-g                    = 1
lb_weight                     = 101

Using device = 0 for the first reader, and device = 1 for the second, and presumably dev = 2 for the third etc, worked for me. I had tried using device = /dev/ttyUSB0, which worked for just one reader, but seemed to cause problems when I added the second.

Hope this helps?

I had no idea there was no such library, maybe it is created by this?

Open terminal, and enter this:

nano /etc/opensc/opensc.conf
Hit enter.

Scroll down, and find:
reader_drivers = ctapi; edit it to look like:
reader_drivers = pcsc, ctapi;

There are two instances of:
reader_drivers = ctapi; I edited the first one, and left the second as it was.

Scroll down further, and find:
try_emulation_first = yes; it has a hash # in front of it, remove it, to make the line active.

Scroll down again, until you find:
#lock_login = true;, and change it to lock_login = false; Remove the hash, and set the value to false.

Scroll down quite a long way, and you will find something like:
#provider_library = /libpcsclite.so.1 I forget if it has the hash in front of the line, if so remove it, and add the /lib/ to the front of the library.

To search while in nano, hit ctrl and w (it stands for "where"). Enter "libpcsclite" in the search box and hit enter. It should take you straight to the corresponding line to edit. If you are having difficulties, just scroll down very slowly, and read every line until you find it.

Hit ctrl x then y when prompted to save, and enter when it displays the filename.

Reboot, and try that with the new oscam.user settings.

Keep trying, and let us know how you get on?

Since I posted in this thread, I have formatted my server, added some RAM, and re-installed ubuntu, because I was still getting the same problem on reboot.
I have done all the edits, correctly this time ;) and I'm still getting the same problem.
If I disable reader 2, reboot the server, and then enable it, and restart oscam, they work fine?
I've tried locking the usb ports down, as per the smargo tutorial, and tried removing "detect = cd", but it made no change.
I'm wondering what to try next?

Looking at this thread i think is all to do with the file libpcsclite.so.1 being in a different place to what is expected. I noticed that it was in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu rather than /lib while I was trying to get 2 readers working on a basic oscam install.

So there are 2 solutions, firstly is to create a symlink

Quote

sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcsclite.so.1 /lib/libpcsclite.so.1

or edit the /etc/opensc/opensc.conf file so
provider_library = /lib/libpcsclite.so.1 becomes
provider_library = /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcsclite.so.1

anne12, build your own oscam with pcsc support...
http://linuxsat-support.com/os…u-debian-simplebuild.html

I tested with 2 omnikeys briefly and all worked well, I will have another look later when I get my hands on second omnikey..

I was continuing to get problems with this - and it also brought me to this information which might be useful.

libmtp disconnection bug

libmtp is a library used to communicate with MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) devices.
libmtp triggers from udev upon insertion of a USB device.
The problem

Some users reported that libmtp might interfere with OpenSC and disconnect the smartcard reader or the USB token. The utility mtp-probe would be responsible.

This bug seems to affect all smartcard readers and USB tokens under GNU/Linux.
The solution

Until this bug is fixed, please remove mtp-probe.

Under Debian GNU/Linux:
$ apt-get remove libmtp-runtime

Removing mtp-probe fixed this issue completely.

I followed this guide - I also uninstalled and reinstalled pcscd and pcsc-lite packages.

It is now working after reboot (touch wood)

Shame the person who wrote this was/is a payserver but he was just regurgitating what is already out there! It compiles everything pretty much the same as it did when I set it up with debian on the Raspberry Pi, just gets a bit confusing at the end of the tutorial about editing /etc/opensc/opensc.conf and /etc/init.d/pcscd. I used this opensc.rar - and replaced the existing opensc.conf file with the rar.
also - the /etc/init.d/pcscd was edited so the line

Quote

# DAEMON_ARGS=”–your-option”

was changed to

Quote

DAEMON_ARGS=”--error”

note that the hash is removed to make the new flag applicable

what are you using these configs on rami is it ubuntu??

I cant remember what reader(s) rami had but they were deffo not omnikey's... Some USB serial reader by the looks of it!
