It looks like you are using a smart card reader NOT using a USB port. So the access rights on /dev/o2scr0 are not correct and pcscd fails to open the device. You compibled the OZSCR driver by yourself (it is installed in /usr/local/). Maybe you should report the problem to the driver author so the driver can create the device file /dev/o2scr0 with the correct access rights.
For more information about your problem you can read http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.fr/2010/09/pcscd-auto-start.html and http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.fr/2010/12/configuring-your-system-for- pcscd-auto.html Removing the "exit 0" in /etc/init.d/pcscd should solve the problem for you. pcscd will be started at boot as root. A future version of pcsc-lite in Ubuntu will use systemd and solve all your problems http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.fr/2011/11/pcscd-auto-start-using-systemd.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1061947 Title: pcscd (auto)starting and permission troubles To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcsc-lite/+bug/1061947/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
