I ran pcscd as you suggested, capturing output. Made sure the smart card was working by using my SSH key. I was then able to reproduce the 100% cpu condition by plugging in my Logitech USB webcam.
Attached the output, but I redacted the hex dumps before posting here because I'm not sure if they contain sensitive information. Let me know if you need the original. ** Attachment added: "pcscd debug output (redacted)" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcsc-lite/+bug/1551897/+attachment/4587143/+files/pcscd.log.redacted -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1551897 Title: Excessive CPU utilization To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcsc-lite/+bug/1551897/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
