[gentoo-user] smartcard issues
Hi all, For logging in to servers we now use smartcards. For windows this works fine, however for Linux and Mac OS X it doesn't. The smartcards are from Raaktechnologies. THis is the output of openct-tool atr: Detected CCID Compatible Card present, status changed ATR: 3b f8 13 00 00 81 31 fe So it seems that the card is detected. HOwever when doing: pkcs15-tool -D [pkcs15-tool] reader-pcsc.c:896:pcsc_detect_readers: SCardListReaders failed: 0x8010002e [pkcs15-tool] reader-pcsc.c:1015:pcsc_detect_readers: returning with: No readers found Using reader with a card: CCID Compatible [pkcs15-tool] reader-openct.c:324:openct_reader_transmit: unable to transmit [pkcs15-tool] apdu.c:394:do_single_transmit: unable to transmit APDU [pkcs15-tool] reader-openct.c:324:openct_reader_transmit: unable to transmit [pkcs15-tool] apdu.c:394:do_single_transmit: unable to transmit APDU [pkcs15-tool] card-default.c:66:autodetect_class: APDU transmit failed: Generic reader error [pkcs15-tool] card-default.c:113:default_init: unable to determine the right class byte [pkcs15-tool] card.c:202:sc_connect_card: driver 'Default driver for unknown cards' init() failed: Card is invalid or cannot be handled [pkcs15-tool] card.c:213:sc_connect_card: unable to find driver for inserted card [pkcs15-tool] card.c:228:sc_connect_card: returning with: Card is invalid or cannot be Failed to connect to card: Card is invalid or cannot be handled I think that this tool has no driver for reading this card. They supplied me with a library: libcmP11.so. I tried adding it to opensc.conf and got a message that it was not a valid driver. Using pkcs11-tool: pkcs11-tool -I \ --module /home/gvm/smartcard/raaksign-linux-471-x64/libcmP11.so Cryptoki version 2.11 Manufacturer charismathics gmbh Library cm PKCS#11 module(ver 4.8) No slots. So it seems that this is a pkcs11 library. However I always get no slots and it isn't usable on any rdesktop connection. I have following packages and there use flags: net-misc/rdesktop-1.6.0-r4 alsa ipv6 pcsc-lite rdpusb dev-libs/openct-0.6.20-r1 Upcsc-lite usb dev-libs/opensc-0.11.13-r2 openct pcsc-lite readline ssl zlib sys-apps/pcsc-lite-1.7.2-r1 USE=(-usb) ldd of the library shows that all dependencies are met. I have to say I have no experience using smartcards and I am not sure how the different tools interact: opensc-tool openct-tool pcscd pkcs11-tool pkcs15-tool,... In the end what should be possible is login to an rdesktop connection. On my previous portable I came somewhere I actually could type in my pin code (on the remote desktop) however after that it failed. Now I can't even got it to work to that stage. The SmartCard reader I have is one that is internally connected through usb: Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0a5c:5801 Broadcom Corp. BCM5880 Secure Applications Processor with fingerprint swipe sensor All help/troubleshooting tips/... are welcome! Thanks in advance!

[gentoo-user] win key takes me from X to VT
Hello. I am having this issue since a couple of days ago. When I press the win key (alone) I am taken back to VT, which is quite annoying since I've used win+[123456] to go to the respective virtual desktops for years. I've tried downgrading xorg-server and it didn't work. I've also tried to change mingetty (which I've been using for years as well) by agetty, no change either. If I restart the xdm service (I use kdm) then everything works as expected and I can use the windows key for my bindings. Any idea on where to start looking or how to diagnose this? Thanks everyone. -- Jesús Guerrero Botella

I think you need to file a bug report and request the new version to be put in the tree and eventually made stable. Of course, if it is really new, it may be in a overlay for testing too. Some put them in the overlay to test then move them over to the tree a bit later if there are no problems or weird dependency problems.
