USB Smartcard reader and my Ubuntu 7.10
It seems that inscructions in GnuPG and this site did not work with my ubuntu 7.10 so, I study little bit (7 hours) and now it works..
1. Packages installed for ubuntu 7.10
It seems that my operating system is quite new so I used udev -style not hotplug. Some of the inctructions gives intructions concerning hotplug and some of them using udev directory.
According to excellent full-length HOWTO, I installed libraries:
apt-get install libusb-dev
2) Udev-configuration
Udev configurations are not working ok with my Ubuntu 7.10, so I create more elegant way of setting device access rights to the group scard. You must create group scard and add to your self to that group to allow access gnupg. If your rights are not okay, it seems to complain something like ”PCSC is not running”
So remember:
- sudo addgroup scard
- sudo addgroup <your logon name> scard
Now create file /etc/udev/gnupg-ccid.rules like: (see file in my folder)
Then I linked it to right position (access right for devices 40-49) according to udev documenation
ln -s /etc/udev/gnupg-ccid.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/41-gnupg-ccid.rules
And that's it. My card reader is SCR3310 and now it works with my user account.
