HELP: Smartcard inactive

["K. W. Holzweißig"]

Hi.

I have been trying to get my GnuPG Smartcard to work on Suse 10.1 . I
have had that thing working before on Suse 10.0. When I am trying to
access the card I get: apdu_send_simple(0) failed: card inactive. When I
insert another Smartcard, the green light of my SC-Reader flashes for a
second though, whereas this doesn't happen with the GnuPG SmartCard.
Here is my log. Can anybody tell me what the problem is? Cheers! Kai
