Thanks for the tip why is the service dead or inactive? ● pcscd.service - PC/SC Smart Card Daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/pcscd.service; indirect; vendor preset: disabled) Active: inactive (dead) since Mon 2020-10-12 15:05:48 CEST; 21min ago TriggeredBy: ● pcscd.socket Docs: man:pcscd(8) Process: 6657 ExecStart=/usr/bin/pcscd --foreground --auto-exit (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 6657 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Okt 12 15:04:47 joerg-desktop systemd[1]: Started PC/SC Smart Card Daemon. Okt 12 15:05:48 joerg-desktop systemd[1]: pcscd.service: Succeeded. i hope it is enough to enable the service again with this command sudo systemctl enable --now pcscd.service Do you think so?
