Hi friends! Has anyone here had success using Yubikeys on Linux? I’ve been going back and forth with support to no avail, trying to get my Yubikey 5C NFC to play nicely on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Any suggestions are appreciated.
I have the following Yubikey-related packages on my system:
libyubikey-udev 1.20.0-3 [Ubuntu/jammy universe]
├── is installed
└── udev rules for unprivileged access to YubiKeys
libyubikey0 1.13-6 [Ubuntu/jammy universe]
├── is installed
└── Yubikey OTP handling library runtime
python3-yubikey-manager 4.0.7-1 [Ubuntu/jammy universe]

└── Python 3 library for configuring a YubiKey — transitional package
yubikey-manager 4.0.7-1 [Ubuntu/jammy universe]

└── Graphical application for configuring a YubiKey
yubikey-personalization-gui 3.1.24-1build1 [Ubuntu/jammy universe]
├── is installed
└── Graphical personalization tool for YubiKey tokens
libfido2-1 1.10.0-1 [Ubuntu/jammy main]
├── is installed
└── library for generating and verifying FIDO 2.0 objects
python3-fido2 0.9.1-1 [Ubuntu/jammy universe]
├── is installed
└── Python library for implementing FIDO 2.0
pcscd 1.9.5-3ubuntu1 [Ubuntu/jammy universe]
├── is installed
└── Middleware to access a smart card using PC/SC (daemon side)
UPDATE: After working my way down the entire software stack, I contacted the vendor of my USB-C port and requested a replacement. It did the trick…
usually when I have problems with YubiKey being detected it is because the pcscd service has not been started, or I forgot to enable it so it would start automatically on boot.
You can follow the instructions here on how to do so: https://linuxhandbook.com/systemd-start-service-boot/
Unfortunately, pcscd is running… At this point I am thinking it is a hardware issue with my setup
