VX Admin Not Detecting Card Reader

[Hydroxide4937]

VX-Admin appears to be having issues recognizing the smart card reader on Ubuntu. Even after the PCSCD daemon is started via the terminal, it continues to display "Card Reader Not Detected". Are there specifications for what types of card readers will work? I was under the impression that any COTS ISO 7816 card reader should work. The card reader is recognized in the terminal, so I was wondering if some dependency was missed, affecting compatibility with the reader.

The front end checks for a particular device (for now). You can see that here: https://github.com/votingworks/vxsuite/blob/main/libs/utils/src/Hardware/utils.ts

I think you want this: OmniKey 3121 or OmniKey 3021. We use both. You may also simply be able to remove the check for a specific model.

Thank you for pointing that out! That seems to have worked. Is there a way to get around the system admin card requirement for now, or is that not possible?
