[arch-general] Smartcard troubles on Arch
Dear Archers,
I am trying to get my Gemalto USB Shell Token V2 (GPG-Smartcard-Reader in a USB-Stick) to work on Arch. I've set up Udev in the way I did successfully in Ubuntu 12.04.LTS. However, no success.
I am still trying to figure out where the trouble lies. I can never see the card using gpg --card-status But sometimes I see its fields when using pcscs_scan.
Possible culprits: pcscd, which sometimes gives errors, gpg's USB support?
Has anyone had success in setting up this reader or similar smartcard readers? Or had similar troubles? I would love to hear from you.
Best, Mathias
Hey Mathias,
have you checked the wiki[1]? What's ``dmesg`` or ``lsusb`` printing out?
cheers

lsusb sees the reader: Bus 002 Device 025: ID 08e6:3438 Gemalto (was Gemplus) GemPC Key SmartCard Reader I've entered the device id into the udev rule.
Well, that is not very extensive ;-)
Best, Mathias

How did you write the rule for udev? What is the title of the file? Thank you for helping
