Unable to unlock screen with smartcard logins

Post by poltr1 » 2022/05/17 17:37:00

I'm logging into CentOS 7.9 with my smartcard. As usual, it will give me the "Welcome (user)" greeting and ask for the PIN. I can log in OK with the smartcard. If I lock the screen using the Windows-L" keystroke (what do we call that key in CentOS land?), and come back to it, when I reinsert my smartcard, it doesn't appear to recognize the smartcard. I'm never prompted as I was prompted for the initial login. I don't get the "log in as another user" prompt. I can't even type in a username, password, or PIN. All I can do is to follow Roy's advice and turn it off and on again. :-(

I couldn't figure out a solution, so I backed up my data and rebuilt the system.
