Public bug reported: Binary package hint: openct
ubuntu dropped hal in 9.10/karmic without fixing openct package - as you can see in the file list it provides information using fdi files to hal, so it gets called when a matching usb token/smart card reader was plugged in. without hal that doesn't work. in 2007 openct switched from udev to hal as suggested by kay sievers as hal solved many issues we had with udev (see bug hotplug-devel in july 2007 for example). so if ubuntu dropped hal we need the openct package in udev to revert to the udev rules files. Thanks to Scott James Remnant and Martin Pitt for helping on irc to figure out the new syntax / rules for udev. Now we have a new set of rules for openct: wget http://www.opensc-project.org/svn/openct/trunk/etc/openct.udev.in and openct_usb.in and replace those files in the source code etc/ directory with the updated copy. if you prefer a patch, or want me to release a new version of openct to help the situation, please let me know. also I can help with testing new packages, or provide hardware for testing. ** Affects: openct (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- fix openct package - migrate from hal to udev https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/503119 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
