You are right. It looks like a problem with the ActivKey device. I don't see what change could have created this regression.
First, do not use virtual machine. They often make the things more complex to debug. Second, try to re-install a previous version of Ubuntu to check it was working fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pcsc-lite in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879960 Title: pcscd doesn't support ActivKEy SIM B/N: 0945423 Status in pcsc-lite package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have ActivKey SIM B/N: 0945423 (from banking authorization) which is not recognized by pcscd. Since it is not recognized, it is also not recognized by VMware Workstation VM which runs Windows. Banking software running in windows doesn't see the key and can't authenticate me. Few years ago, this was working on Ubuntu 18.04, so it must be something in version between. After restart of the pcscd service, USB key shows green light, but few seconds after it goes to red. sudo service pcscd status ● pcscd.service - PC/SC Smart Card Daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/pcscd.service; indirect; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Thu 2020-05-21 15:47:40 CEST; 24s ago TriggeredBy: ● pcscd.socket Docs: man:pcscd(8) Main PID: 230408 (pcscd) Tasks: 5 (limit: 57614) Memory: 1.9M CGroup: /system.slice/pcscd.service └─230408 /usr/sbin/pcscd --foreground --auto-exit svi 21 15:47:40 rodigerlaptop1 systemd[1]: Started PC/SC Smart Card Daemon. svi 21 15:48:01 rodigerlaptop1 pcscd[230408]: 00000000 ccid_usb.c:857:WriteUSB() write failed (1/12): -4 LIBUSB_ERROR_NO_DEVICE svi 21 15:48:04 rodigerlaptop1 pcscd[230408]: 02310986 commands.c:249:CmdPowerOn Card absent or mute svi 21 15:48:04 rodigerlaptop1 pcscd[230408]: 00000264 commands.c:249:CmdPowerOn Card absent or mute svi 21 15:48:04 rodigerlaptop1 pcscd[230408]: 00000343 commands.c:249:CmdPowerOn Card absent or mute svi 21 15:48:04 rodigerlaptop1 pcscd[230408]: 00000005 ifdhandler.c:1221:IFDHPowerICC() PowerUp failed svi 21 15:48:04 rodigerlaptop1 pcscd[230408]: 00000003 eventhandler.c:305:EHStatusHandlerThread() Error powering up card: 2148532246 0x80100016 Result of pcsc_scan sudo pcsc_scan Using reader plug'n play mechanism Scanning present readers...
