Hi,

I'm revisiting my gpg card issues to see if someone can help out.

I have now installed GPG4WIN 2.1.0 on a new 32bit Win7 and is having some (and same) issues like before.

One is "scdeamon.exe" that at intervalls needs to be killed when it starts to generate incorrect output.

Example: I enter gpg --card-status command repeatedly and it appears to work but if I remove card from reader the same output is returned when no card is in reader..

After killing service the command says card not present and upon entering card is sees the card ok.

Not sure exactly when it stops working ok.


I can see the card in GPA too, even though behavior is somewhat inconsistent, but it works, at least after refresh.


However, my main problem is this: I cannot get the stubs to appear in the secret keyring on new systems.

Example: I have this newly installed GPG, through GPG4WIN. After having done some checking and searching in manuals and on the list, I have come to conclusion that entering the command "gpg --card-status" should make the secret key stubs appear in the keyring.

I cannot get this to work though.

However if I use the command now, kill scdeamon.exe, take card out and in again, kill GPA, start it again, or check it using cmd, I simply cannot see those stubs back again.

I have tested a few times to generate new keys on the card and that works and then I do see the stubs on the same system. However as I understand it I should be able to take the card to another system and re-generate those stubs there on another secret keyring, using the card-status command and this I cannot get to work.

What am I (still) missing then..?

System is Win7 Premium 32bit and reader is SCM/scr335.

TIA,

/J
