Detection problem of the card reader "Smart Card Reader ACR38U-CFC-BLI".

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; nl; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121622 Fedora/3.0.5-1.fc10 Firefox/3.0.5 I can't read the content of a belgian electronic identity card inserted in a "Smart Card Reader ACR38U-CFC-BLI". I installed the correct drivers & gui through http://www.belgeid.be and Fedora >> http://eid.belgium.be/nl/binaries/beid-middleware-3%2E5%2E0-fedora-9-i686-3640_tcm147-22615.tgz The reading application (beidgui) starts up normally when I enter "beidgui" at the dos prompt. Then, when I go to "Options" >> "card readers", I get the following error message: detection of card readers There are no readers detected. Check if the reader is connected and verify if pcsc deamon has been started. I checked if pcsc deamon has been started = ok Ps: The reader and card works very well under UBUNTU. Reproducible: Always Expected Results: Finding the card reader
This has nothing to do with hardinfo, dunno why you filled it against it. Try: yum install ccid service pcscd restart This should get your cardreader working.
Nothing has changed. Same problem as before.
What version of Fedora? Also, what are the outputs from. rpm -q pcscd rpm -q ccid bob
Version = Fedora 10 In "configuration of started programs" I see a green bullet in front of PCSCD. When I check with "rpm -q pcscd" (see below) it says "pcscd is not installed"?!? [ammans@TravelPC ~]$ rpm -q pcscd package pcscd is not installed [ammans@TravelPC ~]$ [ammans@TravelPC ~]$ rpm -q ccid ccid-1.3.8-1.fc10.i386 [ammans@TravelPC ~]$
my bad, that should be rpm -q pcsc-lite, but the rest of your info seems to indicate you probably have the correct one (I belive ccid has a dependency on pcsc-lite). The next question then, what does lsusb produce? bob
Hmm, looking at the package, it looks like they ship their own version of libpcsclite.so called libbeidpcsclite.so.2.7.1. That's not really kosher since it's trying to connect to a service daemon. The API between the not guaranteed to be binary compatible between releases. What's most likely tripping you up is the location of the socket. One hacky thing to try is to rename ../beid-2.6/libbeidpcsclite.so.2.7.1 to something else and link /usr/lib/libpcsclite.so in it's place. I don't know how old of a pcsc-lite code they had, or if they made their own changes to the shared library, so I'm not sure how well this would work. bob

I am having the same problem with an ActivCard, Inc. SmartCard Reader. The USB bus recognizes the reader. ]# lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 003: ID 09c3:0008 ActivCard, Inc.

I've tried two readers and the card is good because it reads on a Windows XP system using the Actividentity Client. The generic USB CCID from linuxnet.com says is does not support completely the ActivCard, Inc. SmartCard Reader version 2 which is what I have, but that is only on one command. I have also installed the SCM310 driver. Neither of these results in the card being recognized when inserted into the reader.
There are 2 things that need to happen in order to recognize a card in the reader. 1) the reader needs to be recognized. - The SCM310 should work with no problem, the ActiveCard reader looks like it should be supported as well through pcsc-lite. 2) the card itself needs to be recognized. The previous user's problem appears to be his middle-ware, which ships their own version of the pcsc library that talks to pcscd. This middle-ware is needed to recognize his card. So the question is what card are you using, and what applets are on that card?
CAC To my knowledge, only security certs.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
