Devices are not detected by the App, if the scdaemon package is not installed.
Environment: Ubuntu 17.10
Installed through .DEB package, made by CMake/CPack.

Devices are not detected by the App, if the scdaemon package is not installed.

Environment: Ubuntu 17.10
Details: #300

Tried with Pro and OPC2 and Storage with OPC3.

How does the App handle the factory-reset of OpenPGP Card? Doesn't it use scdaemon? I still do not see why the Nitrokey is not detected at all, but I was surprised, that you said App isn't using scdaemon at all...

It is also worth thinking about why 17.10 is affected but not 16.04

[szszszsz]

Factory reset is executed by sending HID command to device, where it is handled further. uC sends similar to GnuPG/scdaemon reset commands to smartcard.
Edit: regarding 17.10: perhaps dependencies changed lately and some libraries are not installed by default.

[techge]

It is already there since 1.2 beta 2. Maybe it helps... I had no beta 1 version, so it is anywhere between 1.1 and 1.2 beta 2...

[szszszsz]

How do you install it?

[techge]

Using the github pre-releases.

[szszszsz]

Do you mean the DEB file from Github releases?
And I guess the command is dpkg -i?

Edit: typo: RPM->DEB

[techge]

No, there are .deb files which work far more better :)
Yes, I used dpkg --install

[szszszsz]

Ok, I will check it too later. It is almost surely dependency-related.
Packages were built on 16.04 AFAIR.

[techge]

Alright. Maybe it will not occur if built via launchpad repos anyway?

[szszszsz]

Perhaps. But it would be great if standalone package would install its deps too when possible.

The UDEV rules in scdaemon package were introduced in Ubuntu 17.04. I guess this issue is related to UDEV rules which are part of scdaemon.

Update: Correction of first sentence.

[szszszsz]

Confirmed on Ubuntu 17.04 - 60-scdaemon.rules file contains the rules for accessing Nitrokey devices.
To investigate, why the DEB package has not installed its UDEV rules.
@techge Could you see if there is a 41-nitrokey.rules file in paths
/etc/udev/rules.d/
/lib/udev/rules.d/
after the .DEB package installation?

[techge]

No, not with .deb package, only when using launchpad version (which is consequently working fine even when scdaemon is removed).

[szszszsz]

OK - so the problem lies in CMake/CPack.
Confirmed Debian/Launchpad packages contain udev rules.

[szszszsz]

AFAIK fixed with modern releases. Closing.
