Sorry to be a pest, but it seems some problems continue, but slightly different symptoms. At startup syslog displays the same error:
Nov 8 07:04:46 works pcscd: hotplug_libhal.c:490:HPRegisterForHotplugEvents() Could not initialise connection to hald. Nov 8 07:04:46 works pcscd: hotplug_libhal.c:491:HPRegisterForHotplugEvents() Normally this means the HAL daemon (hald) is not running or not ready. Nov 8 07:04:46 works pcscd: pcscdaemon.c:524:main() SVCServiceRunLoop returned I checked /etc/init.d/pcscd to see if the patch reverted and it was fine. Still, I patched the file manually (this newbie doesn't know how to do otherwise) and the error might now be located between my fingers and the keyboard. Here's how /etc/init.d/pcscd looks after I applied the patch so that you can check my work: #! /bin/sh ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: pcscd # Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs $syslog hal # Required-Stop: $local_fs $remote_fs $syslog hal # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: Daemon to access a smart card using PC/SC # Description: The PC/SC daemon is used to dynamically # allocate/deallocate reader drivers at runtime and manage # connections to the readers. ...and nothing below was changed.
