The fact that the LED is green then goes to red after a few seconds is completely normal. See https://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.com/2010/10/card-auto-power-on-and-off.html
The fact that you get "PowerUp failed" errors is NOT normal. It is a hardware issue with the card and/or the reader. That is why I asked you to try with another smart card. On my side I tried with current version of pcsc-lite and libccid and I have no problem with my ActivIdentity Activkey_Sim device. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879960 Title: pcscd doesn't support ActivKEy SIM B/N: 0945423 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcsc-lite/+bug/1879960/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
