OpenPGP smartcard reader

[Miguel Barbosa Gonçalves]

Hi!

I recently contributed to the FSFE and received an OpenPGP smartcard.

I ordered an Omnikey 3121 USB card reader. I am facing some problems
when using this reader and card combination on a Ubuntu 14.04 machine.

Using GnuPG 1.4.15 as root it works fine. GnuPG 2 does not work at all.

As a regular user, I have the gpg-agent running to authenticate to SSH
hosts and the card can't be read. As soon as I kill gpg-agent, gpg
works fine.

Any clues?

Or, what is the most compatible card reader available to read OpenPGP
smartcards using GnuPG 1 and 2?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Miguel
