Public bug reported: Hi,
Here is my situation: I am running Ubuntu Maverick x86_64 on an laptop with Intel graphic driver. On Ubuntu I am using VMWare Workstation 7.1.3 to drive Windows 7 to be able to use ActivIdentity USB keys which are used (in my company) to connect to VPN. I have set VMWare and installed pcscd package. With installation of pcscd, I got visible "Virtual Activekey Sim 00 00" with "Activekey_sim" in VMWare. Without pcscd I don't have this Virtual part, which is the part I connect to VM. So to be able to use ActiveIdentity USB key in VM, I connect "Virtual ActiveKey Sim 00 00" after Windows has started. In VMWare VM's "name.vmx" I think I have set the following to be able to get the functionality: uhci.syncWriteback = "TRUE" usb.generic.allowCCID = "TRUE" On kernel 2.6.35-24-generic, this is working fine. But on kernel 2.6.38-020638rc2-generic from ubuntu kernel ppa, this is not working. I need key to work on this kernel, because one "nasty" bug with Intel graphic card is fixed (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/600453 and upstream https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29278) How I see the bug? When I connect "Virtual Activekey Sim" to the VM and start using the key, by trying to login to VPN, my VPN software just reports problem with the key. If I try to use the key with IE (or Firefox) to login, the login screen last for minutes and finally timeouts. On the key led is just changing color, until I disconnect the key from the VM. What I see in the /var/log/messages is the following, while I am trying to use the key: Jan 29 08:22:28 drodiger1 pcscd: commands.c:1338:CCID_Receive() Can't read all data (55 out of 54 expected) Jan 29 08:22:28 drodiger1 pcscd: ifdwrapper.c:722:IFDTransmit() Card not transacted: 612 Jan 29 08:22:28 drodiger1 pcscd: winscard.c:1675:SCardTransmit() Card not transacted: 0x80100016 This messages are repeated until I disconnect the key from VM. This problem is also visible on kernel 2.6.36,37 and 38. If this bug is related to kernel and not pcscd package, you can move it.
