After more wrestling with this, I'm still no closer to a solution than I was this morning. I was able to recreate Nguyễn's difficulties with an Ubuntu 12.04LTS/64-bit system, though, so we can confirm that one's got problems and it's not simple user error on his part. Or, rather, if it is then I'm making the exact same errors, so...
I don't know what the root cause of the problem is yet. I don't want anyone to misread this as "GnuPG 2 sucks," because that's *not at all what I'm saying*. But it does appear that GnuPG 2 has serious problems with smartcards when running under Ubuntu 12.04LTS or Fedora 17. Maybe we should get the Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu GnuPG package maintainers in on this discussion? Perhaps they don't have smart cards with which to test their packages. If so, I would be happy to buy them smart cards and readers for testing purposes. This is important functionality and right now it just doesn't appear to reliably work. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
