Hello all![FONT=arial]I;ve recently switched from Fedora 25 to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. But now i have annoying problem. I’m using gemalto usb card reader.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial]ID 08e6:3437 Gemalto (was Gemplus) GemPC Twin SmartCard Reader
I’m using it for Estonian ID card authorization for web-sites.
When i’m trying to insert my card - i see these messages

What can i try? Maybe someone knows correct way to get Estonian ID cards working? Seems they have official support only for Ubuntu - http://www.id.ee
Btw Fedora is OK using this manual http://rstat.consulting/blog/estonian-eid-fedora/
Thank you very all!

I’m hoping that this blog may be of value to you

http://mattiesworld.gotdns.org/weblog/2012/07/15/using-your-eid-on-opensuse-12-1/

It’s old so some things will have changed, but in particular you may want to make sure that pcsc-ccid is up to date perhaps. Subscribe to the security repo

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:/chipcard/

For TW…

sudo zypper ar -r http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:/chipcard/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ Security

then follow the instructions given in the blog with respect to installing the necessary.

Hi all!
Well, I’ve found the problem. It is funny but there was a little piece of plastic inside card reader slot, and it prevents the card to be properly inserted. After removing everything is working =)
So, in case anyone will try to setup OpenSUSE and Estonian ID card - you need to install pcsc-lite, pcsc-ccid by zypper and firefox plugin available from mozilla web site.
Thank you very much all!

At least it was a simple problem/mistake. Thanks for the update.
