I am using device 1a44:0001 VASCO Data Security International Digipass 905 SmartCard Reader I am on Ubuntu 14.04.
Unplugging or plugging in this device causes pscsd to crash. Syslog output: Jul 26 18:36:10 Studio-Hybrid-140g kernel: [ 1869.326342] pcscd[5518]: segfault at 7fd75e71f248 ip 00007fd75e71f248 sp 00007fd75e70fee0 error 14 in libgcc_s.so.1[7fd75e92d000+16000] Not able to resolve the crash, and get my card reader reliably working. BUT I have a workaround, for who's fighting with this. Kill pcscd. Plug the smart card reader in, and within one second (!) restart pcscd: sudo service pcscd restart The smartcard reader gets detected, and pcscd keeps on running. For what it's worth... Hope this helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1296288 Title: pcscd crashes when disconnecting / reconnecting USB device To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libusb-1.0/+bug/1296288/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
