Installing oscam for smargo and ubuntu server guide

Had a lot of trouble getting oscam working with my nds3 card in a smargo reader and ubuntu so I've just done a quick guide here as to how I got it working. Spent ages trying to get it to work using ubuntu 11.04 with no luck so rolled back to ubuntu 10.04 LTS and all work fine

Got a Omnikey 3121 reader working last night, noticed upto 50% better ECM times

first off need to install Omnikey drivers

sudo apt-get install pcscd pcsc-omnikey libpcsclite-dev libpcsclite1 pcsc-tools

remove any instances of previous compiled oscam as we have to recompile with added pcsc drivers

killall -9 oscam
cd /usr/src
rm -rf oscam*

get latest stable version of oscam

svn co oscam - Revision 6024: /tags/1.10 oscam.1.10
cd /oscam.1.10
cmake -DWEBIF=1;make
cp -rp oscam /usr/local/bin
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/oscam

modify oscam.server file to look like this

The only lines we need to change really are

protocol = pcsc
device = 0


thats it

Could you tell us your previous and present ECM times? Thank you.

If i use Omnikey , will i get better ECM times than shown above? Or i shouldn't worry about this much . What do you think guys? Any ideas?

I want to install debian 11 on a PC with an intelligent reader since I have a clear satellite TV card. I have tried it today November 28, 2022 and it does not work. Could you please put the commands to work with Ubuntu or debian 11. I have problems with the PCSC protocol. When compiling I get an error. Thanks for your time and the forum.
