Hello list! Since I upgraded from Ubuntu Karmic, 32-bit to Ubuntu Lucid, 64-Bit, rdesktop fails to forward my smartcard. Sadly, Ubuntu's rdesktop-Package does not have built-in Smartcard-Support [1] so I created my own package, which is available in my PPAs [2],[3]. This worked fine on 32-bit based Ubuntu Karmic but failed to work on 64-Bit Lucid. It took some time until I realized that this is caused by switching to 64-Bit rather than a problem with Lucid. I did some testing and this are the results: Ubuntu Karmic 32-Bit WORKS Ubuntu Karmic 64-Bit DOES NOT WORK Ubuntu Lucid 32-Bit WORKS Ubuntu Lucid 64-Bit DOES NOT WORK Gentoo Linux 32-Bit WORKS For me the results are clear, there is a problem with 64-Bit. My solution to the problem is now the following: 1.) Install 32-bit rdesktop-Package from [3] on 64-Bit Lucid (--force-all) 2.) Install 32-bit Version of libpcsclite1 via getlibs [4] ==> Now Smarcard is working again! So this is either a problem with 64-bit rdesktop or 64-bit pcsc-lite I give some details about my setup: * I am connecting to a 32-Bit Windows Server 2008 (Enterprise Edition) * Smartcard is a "G&D StarSign USB Token für ELSTER” [5] (For German tax declarations), lsusb says "OmniKey AG CardMan Smart@Link" Does anybody know why Smarcard-support is not working on 64-bit systems?
