help with installing a smartcard

[Paulo Lopes]

Hi Philip,

If ubuntu studio 14.04 is like ubuntu 14.04 this is what i did and works
for me, btw this works for me on both ubuntu and gnomeubuntu 14.04 it might
stop working with 14.10 since the init system is switching from upstart to
systemd:

# Install the card    sudo apt-get install gnupg2 gnupg-agent pcscd
pcsc-tools libccid scdaemon libpam-poldi gpgsm    sudo addgroup
--system pcscd    sudo usermod -a -G pcscd paulo    # gnome keyring
messes up the system    # modify:
/usr/share/upstart/sessions/gpg-agent.conf    ...        eval
"$(gpg-agent --daemon --enable-ssh-support --sh)" >/dev/null
initctl set-env --global GPG_AGENT_INFO=$GPG_AGENT_INFO        initctl
set-env --global SSH_AGENT_PID=$SSH_AGENT_PID         initctl set-env
--global SSH_AUTH_SOCK=$SSH_AUTH_SOCK    end script    post-stop
script        GPG_AGENT_PID=$(echo $GPG_AGENT_INFO | cut -d : -f2)
   kill $GPG_AGENT_PID 2>/dev/null || true        initctl unset-env
--global GPG_AGENT_INFO        initctl unset-env --global
SSH_AGENT_PID        initctl unset-env --global SSH_AUTH_SOCK    end
scriptEdit the file: ```/etc/X11/Xsession.options``` and disable
```ssh-agent```.## Enable gpg agent    echo "gpg-agent" >>
~/.gnupg/gpg.conf## Enable ssh agent    sudo nano
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agentadd the parameter
`--enable-ssh-support` should read:    STARTUP="$GPGAGENT --daemon
--enable-ssh-support --sh --write-env-file=$PID_FILE $STARTUP"##
Disable the gnome keyring daemon for ssh and gpg    cd
/etc/xdg/autostart    mv gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop
gnome-keyring-gpg.nostart    mv gnome-keyring-ssh.desktop
gnome-keyring-gpg.nostart
