Comment 2 Florin Andrei 2007-02-27 18:02:39 UTC 
I unplugged the card, unplugged the reader, then logged out.
Plugged back the reader, logged in (so I'm logged in after the reader was
connected).
Plugged the card back in.

Same error.
Comment 3 David Zeuthen 2007-02-27 18:06:17 UTC 
If you're running SELinux in enforcing mode, please close as dupe of bug 230155

If you're not logging in via gdm, please close as dupe of bug 228110

Thanks.

SELinux is enforcing and I'm using gdm.
But I'm doing "tail -f /var/log/audit/audit.log" and there are no messages when
the error occurs. Is it still a SELinux problem?
If it is, what can I do to enable this functionality (other than switching from
enforcing mode which I do not want to do)?

Comment 6 David Zeuthen 2007-02-27 18:26:25 UTC 
I'm not sure why SELinux is logging errors - that's also a problem in 230155...
Comment 7 Florin Andrei 2007-02-27 18:28:29 UTC 
Thanks, I'll watch the other bug then.
