    I had similar problems, i even reinstalled Debian thinking it was a Ubuntu issue then eventually figured it out.
    Follow this guide


    How to install Omnikey readers on Linux PC


    When you reach this step



    Instead change to this



    # if you need to pass arguments to pcscd edit to:
    # /etc/default/pcscd and add a line
    DAEMON_ARGS="-e"


    Screen shot of how it should look.



    Then continue with the guide and your reader will be seen, i will update the guides here to match this.

    It is not necessary but if you wish to this will take care of it.

    Oscam auto update script for ubuntu


    Start a new thread if this is a problem for you.

    oscam.ird is an Irdeto guessing table for OSCam, as you are using nds you have no need to edit this file. If you find an oscam binary that works for you then stick with it, no need to keep updating to the latest version, unless the update has something specific to offer your card. Everything else in your config looks good, if you need more info let us know otherwise we can close this thread..
