Post subject:  [Q] Strange smart card behaviour
Hi all!

I configured my Yubikey 4 Nano with OTP secrets and a PGP key. Now I have the behaviour so that I can't use the OTP stuff if I have used the PGP feature before until reboot. As well, I can't use the PGP smart card feature if I have used the OTP feature before. Here an example:

# Newly booted system
# Let's look for the OTP keys
$ yubioath-cli
$ (...) Here comes the OTP keys. (...)

# Now let's try to read the PGP smart card
$ gpg --card-status
$ gpg: selecting openpgp failed: Card not present
$ gpg: OpenPGP card not available: Card not present

If I start with 'gpg --card-status' after reboot, then yubioath-cli can't find a Yubikey. I am running a Linux system.

Do you have any advice? I assume it's something with the USB modes? I tried to set the Yubikey on mode 6 (OTP/U2F/CCID) with 'ykpersonalize -m 6', but this didn't help (and I am not sure whether this is correct).

Thank you in advance for any help!

Greetings!

Could you please install the YubiKey Neo Manager

https://developers.yubico.com/yubikey-neo-manager/

and enable all modes.

What do you mean exactly by 'enable all modes'? I assume that you mean mode 6.

Here the output of the yubikey-neo-manager (ykneomgr):

# Yubikey mode
$ ykneomgr --get-mode
$ 06

# Readers on my machine
$ ykneomgr --list-readers
$ 0: Alcor Micro AU9560 00 00
$ 1: Yubico Yubikey 4 OTP+U2F+CCID 01 00

# Firmware version of the Yubikey
$ ykneomgr --get-version
$ 4.2.7

The --applet-list option throws an error. But I don't know whether this occurs because it's a Yubikey 4 and not a Neo.

# I am not sure what this is for. So I activated the debug mode.
$ ykneomgr -d --applet-list
