After trying several combinations and playing around, I found that my
initial assumptions were incomplete, and that the problem arised from
the application using the PC/SC interface, not pcscd. I'll therefore
change the bug status to invalid.
The full story:
I use a Java application called MOCCA, granting access to several
online services using a card reader and the PC/SC interface. The Java
application as shipped / downloadable searches a wrong path for the
PC/SC library libpcsclite.so as it looks in /usr/lib64 instead of
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, and stops with an "PC/SC interface not found"
error.
However, I had noticed that and created a symlink. It still did not
work, as the application seems to check for the library only at the
first startup after booting. The pcscd first was not started
automatically due to the application being unable to access the library,
after booting it would have been started also without modifying the
script in /etc/init.d.
Conclusion: Ubuntu 12.04 provides a mechanism to automatically start
pcscd, but it is not via the systemd files in /lib/systemd/system/.
** Changed in: pcsc-lite (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Invalid
