change to omnikey reader

    Hi All,
    Any suggestions on the simplest way to change from using a smargo in oscam to an omnikey. Smargo running but I want to compare it to omnikey.
    I had a go at changing the oscam reader configs such as protocol=pcsc, new device bus and devise etc, but will not see card. The server I built using the excellent tutorial on this site which runs fine.
    Any guide would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I tried that master G but still no joy.
    I had also tried running the commamd lsusb which gave me a bus and device so I tried these eg 005, 003. Also put in protocol = pcsc
    Is the group important ?.

    Thanks for getting back to me.
    I will try your suggestions tomorrow and post results here. Will I insert the omnikey, leaving the smargo in also, then run lsusb and see what device it sees. Do I need to put both the bus and devise numbers in the config which is what I have with my smargo setup.

    Update,
    Tried the above but still no joy. One thing that might be important is, when I originally setup the smargo I got it's ID and added this in the 50-udev-default.rules. Do I need to make any changes here for the omnikey. My understanding was that this was to tie the smargo and the card together ???.

    I see in the etc/apt/sources.list (which is new to me) the above url. Could this be my problem, and if so can I edit it to a different url.
    I also got the following when trying to install pcscd,
    Package 'pcscd' has no installation candidate


    Pulling my hair out at this stage.
    Any suggestions please.

    Thanks master G,
    I will give it a go. Hopefully I am heading in the right direction. Came late to computers. Weren't invented when I was training. Transistors were all the rage back then. Keep you all posted.
    Thanks again.

    Update. Replaced sources list and tried to install pcscd but get the following notice 'E: Package 'pcscd' has no installation candidate'
    I also tried 'apt-get install pcsc-tools but got the following
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    E: Unable to locate package pcsc-tools

    Any other route I can take as I have being reading many posts and tried lots but for some reason server cannot find pcscd or pcasc-tools.
    Going blind also.

    Hi Master G.
    I managed to do an update and now when I run pcsc_scan I get the following.


    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    pcsc-tools : Depends: libpcsc-perl but it is not going to be installed
    Depends: libgtk2-perl but it is not going to be installed
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


    Also if I run lsusb I can see the onmikey.

    Hi All,
    Anyone know how to fix these broken packages. I have tried every command line on the planet but all in vain. I have read that synaptic packet manager could do the trick but I don't have any GUI on my server. As A last resort I tried installing GUI and at the end of the process I got the message that I have broken packages also. No hair left at this stage.

    Thanks annie12,
    Yes, I am considering doing that. I don't like admitting defeat. Server is running with smargo, I just wanted to change over to omnikey. Never thought it was going to be the death of me. I cannot install pscs tools as I keep getting ' unmet dependencies' and 'broken packages' notices. I tried all sorts of update, upgrade etc etc etc but still no joy. The server is built from this site and is oscam / cccam 14.04.2.

    run package update from terminal and then install those packages libpcsc-perl and libgtk2-perl.


    sudo apt-get update _
    then
    something like sudo apt-get install libpcsc-perl


    The update might sort it ?:stoned:

    When I run apt-get update all appears to go ok. At the end I get the following.

    Do I need to install pcscd and pcsc tools. It appears to me that when I try to get and install the tools etc, there seems to be some 'dependency' such as libpcsc-perl and libgtk2-per missing. Could I download and install these via ftp.

    Does the fact that when I run lsusb and see the omnikey details tell me that the drivers for the devise are installed ok. Do I need to install pcscd and pcsc tools. It appears to me that when I try to get and install the tools etc, there seems to be some 'dependency' such as libpcsc-perl and libgtk2-per missing. Could I download and install these via ftp. I have just seen on another forum that libpcsc-perl and libgtk2-per don't come pre installed on 14.04.2 . Is this my problem all along. If I need to do a fresh install what version do you guys recommend that will run my omnikey whitout all the grief.
    Thanks in advance.

    Latest update.
    I did a fresh install and went back to 12.04 lts. Smargo running fine but this time when I follow Master G suggestions and try and install pcscd I get the following
    Package 'pcscd' has no installation candidate. I get the same when I try to install the pcsc_tools.

    try using Debian ?:stoned:

    Thanks mate,
    If I do another fresh install I will go mad. What are other forum members running that supports omnikey, debian or ubuntu.

    JOY AT LAST.
    Thanks to rikjaard-real and Master G and all members for their patients over the past few days while I was trying to get to the bottom of my problem.
    It looks like all the messages I was getting while trying to install pcscd and pcsc-tools such as missing 'unmet dependencies' and broken packages were all very misleading. In fact when I tried to install pcsc-tools using the command apt-get install pcsc-tools I got the unmet dependencies and broken packages notices when in fact all I needed was the 'sudo' command first. To me this is very misleading, as it appeared to be carrying out my command and failing at the end, due to missing packages etc. If 'sudo' was needed I would expect to be told first and not get 'led up the garden path'
    However I am from the 'old school' and you young guys are probably having a good laugh at the moment:20_003::20_003:

    after pcsc_scan this is what displays .......is that right or i still have a problem with my card

    Which way do you have the card inserted into the omnikey ? Make sure the chip is facing the front where there lights are.. The green light should also blink red when oscam is reading the card..

    the right way if i slot my credit card it recognize it but not my irdeto v7 card




    Visa credit card for Bank of Taiwan
    CommSec Debit MasterCard (Australia)
    that is part of my card if i run the pcsc_scan
