I opened a support ticket and got this working. For reference, this is what I had to do:

Uninstalled any version of libccid and pcsc-lite that I manually installed.
Rebooted.
Used the Software Manager to install libccid.
Patch the info.plist:
Code:
sudo sh -c 'wget -q -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Yubico/yubikey-neo-manager/master/resources/linux-fix-ccid-udev | python'
Rebooted.
Install dependency packages:
Code:
sudo apt-get install pcscd python-pyscard python-pbkdf2 python-pyside.qtgui

After doing that, I was able to launch the NEO Manager and it correctly showed all the apps. The Yubico Authenticator also launched correctly and displayed my codes. Success!

I've tried manually installing libccid-1.4.18 (and pcsc-lite-1.8.13) using:

./configure
make
sudo make install

but I'm not sure if that is installing correctly. The Neo Manager still doesn't list the applets on the NEO. How can I verify the correct installation of libccid 1.4.18 is being picked up?

I did that via the custom PPA here, version 1.1.0. After I installed it I launched the Neo Manager gui and it recognized my NEO, but it doesn't show any of the apps. Also, if I do 'cat /etc/libccid_Info.plist | grep Yubico' this is what's returned:

Code:

cat /etc/libccid_Info.plist | grep Yubico
      Yubico Yubikey NEO OTP+CCID
      Yubico Yubikey NEO CCID

It's not showing U2F+CCID or OTP+U2F+CCID. From what I read here, it looks as if I need a later version of libccid, 1.4.18. I'm not sure what steps I should take next.

Did as you instructed and I now get the tray icon, but when I go to 'Show codes', I get a dialog box that says:

Warning: No Yubikey NEO detected

No Yubikey NEO found. Please plugin your Yubikey NEO in one of your USB port.
Ensure that the NEO is mode HID+CCID -m82.

My neo is plugged into the USB port and I know it's in the correct mode as the desktop app works fine under Windows. I checked the version of libccid I have installed:

Do I need a later version of libccid installed, like 1.4.18? Do I also need pcsclite 1.8.13? If so, could you instruct me how to get that installed? I'm an average linux user so any detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated.

I don't get a systray icon. I've also tried the --disable-systray option and nothing happens with that either. This is in LinuxMint 17.1. Are there logs or anything that I can look through?

what happens if you do

python yubico_authenticator.py --disable-systray

yubioath-desktop on Ubuntu/LinuxMint

2015-01-31T21:12:22+01:00

Hello,
I'm having a ton of trouble getting the yubioath-desktop app to work under linux. I've tried on Ubuntu and LinuxMint with no success. I followed the README, listed here:

https://github.com/Yubico/yubioath-desktop

and here:

https://developers.yubico.com/yubioath-desktop/

but I just can't get it to work. I was able to install of the required dependencies, but still nothing. When I run:

python yubico_authenticator.py

nothing happens, the command executes and the prompt returns, but the app doesn't start.

Does anyone have any suggestions or further instructions on how to get this running under Ubuntu 14.04 or LinuxMint 17.1? Any help would be super appreciated.

Thanks.
