this latest patch works on top of the current openct version in universe. it is as small as it can get. with it: plug in a usb smart card reader, works. without it: plug in a usb smart card reader, does not work. you can work around with "sudo /etc/init.d/openct restart" but that is very ugly, and not a good idea, if you want to login with smart cards (e.g. pam_p11 login module with opensc and openct).
the only file changed is the /lib/udev/openct_usb file used by the hotplug mechanism, only called for usb smart card readers, so other packages cannot be affected by this fix. the fix was necessary, because ubuntu dropped /proc/bus/usb which is historically mounted with usbfs. diffstat: debian/changelog | 11 +++++++++++ etc/openct_usb.in | 53 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------- 2 files changed, 45 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) the changed package builds, installs and upgrades fine, does not break packages depending on it (such as opensc). -- openct broken by ubuntu udev setup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/125054 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
