[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 h8h [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#Smartcards On 04.08.2014 21:18, Mathias Huber wrote:

Hi h8h,

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

I've entered the device id into the udev rule.
How did you write the rule for udev? What is the title of the file? Thank you for helping
