Yubico Forum

I have a YubiKey NEO (v3.3.0 firmware) which is configured for OTP + CCID. They key works fine for normal OTP use on my Mac. However, when I plug it into a Lubuntu 14.10 x86 machine, I get the following failure in the syslog. I'm guessing that pcscd is not recognizing the smartcard presence properly, but I'm stumped.

Can anybody help here? Thanks.

Thank you for the reply. In my case, I am not (yet) using U2F. I'm using OTP + CCID.

For some reason, I'm now also seeing similar behavior on my Mac. When I insert the key, it lights up for a few seconds and then goes dark. I see this in the system log:



When I revert the key to only doing OTP, the problems go away. I insert the key, and it stays lit up.

Got latest pcscd installed? Did you restarted it?

I contacted support, and they pointed me to a new version of the NEO Manager (0.25). Toggling the CCID mode with that allowed things to get working properly.

The LED on the key still goes dark after a few seconds, but I don't see the errors any longer. I can use the key correctly for OTP (e.g. LastPass) and CCID (OpenPGP applet).
