This makes me unable to use my PC/SC controlled CyberJack chipcard reader. However, it seems to be a timing issue: in about 2% of all system startups the pcscd is yet loaded. In the /var/log/messages file I noticed the following messages concerning this matter: Jan 22 18:50:29 linux-pc pcscd: hotplug_libhal.c:562:HPRegisterForHotplugEvents() Could not initialise connection to hald. Jan 22 18:50:29 linux-pc pcscd: hotplug_libhal.c:563:HPRegisterForHotplugEvents() Normally this means the HAL daemon (hald) is not running or not ready. Jan 22 18:50:29 linux-pc pcscd: pcscdaemon.c:531:main() SVCServiceRunLoop returned Additionally, I noticed that sometimes also my ALSA sound driver is not loaded properly on startup, so I don't hear any system sound (in my KDE screen I'm getting a message box telling me that my "preferred output device for category "music" could not be detected). Also here, after manually reinstalling the previous "hal" package (0.5.14-9.1.1-x86_64), the problem disappeared as well. And again, this seems to be a timing issue: After manually reinstalling the previous "hal" package (0.5.14-9.1.1-x86_64), all works well again as before. The problems are reproducable, that means, installing v0.5.14-9.3.1-x86_64 let them occur again. My actual system configuration is: openSuSE 11.3 x86_64 / KDE 4.4.4 ("release 3"), 4 GB RAM Kernel 2.6.34.10-0.4-desktop using glibc 2.11.2-3.7.1.x86_64 pcsc-lite1 resp. libpcsclite1 32/64 bit 1.5.5-7.3.1 pcsc-cyberjack 3.99.5final.SP03-1.suse11.3 (3.3.5-1.26) Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Update from "hal" package v0.5.14-9.1.1-x86_64 to v0.5.14-9.3.1-x86_64 2.Reboot the system 3.In most cases pcscd is no longer automatically activated at startup. Actual Results: In most cases (98% of all system startups) pcscd is no longer automatically activated at startup. Expected Results: I would expect that the pcscd is automatically started on boot-up as before the hal update -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
