  • Hi, been trying to get my ubuntu server working with nds freesat card in smargo.

    # Oscam can read a *** card i.d, but you can also put this
    # in manually
    detect = cd
    cardmhz = 357
    # this helps the card run more smootly

    # Oscam has the concept of groups. Only users in group 1 can
    # use this reader. I'm only using one group.

    this is my cccam file. i have only put the 3 lines in because i think these are all that are necessary.


    N: 127.0.0.1 10000 cccam cccam 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 256
    F: t*** w**** 2 0 1
    SERVER LISTEN PORT : 15000


    when i lsusb from the terminal window it show the smargo is connected ok bus004 device 003 Future Tech. Devices


    i would be grateful for any help.

  • thanks for reply master G. I have changed to test1 test2 in the N line but still not working. wonder if you can see anything else.


    if i disable the N line and config. the cccam file for the smargo then that works ok. so i know that side of things is ok. must be something to do with the oscam files.

    This is your problem, remove all lines in your cccam.cfg relating to the smargo cardreader.

  • when i tried to connect from my desktop to the ubuntu laptop to look at the oscam log, i could not connect. rather strangely, i could not connect to the net either. i had to change my static ip back to dhcp and reboot. when i rebooted all worked ok then. i have now changed back to the static ip address and hope all remains ok.
    i thank you both for you help.
