Started to work after further retesting. Perhaps some issue with Udev rules files?

[alex-nitrokey]

Let me know, if I can retest something.

[szszszsz]

Could you check please latest snap package, 21?
It works for me on Ubuntu 18.04.

[alex-nitrokey]

I only get it working with sudo rights on my VM on which no modifications were made.

[szszszsz]

I see. How have you installed/updated it?

[alex-nitrokey]

sudo snap install nitrokey-app --devmode
When installing it states that it is downloading (21) - which should be the version number, right?

[szszszsz]

Yes, 21 is the current version.
So to confirm, even with the --devmode switch it is not working for you? In that case Udev rules might be indeed the culprit. Would installing scdaemon help?

[alex-nitrokey]

I did try and funnily it didn't solved the problem either 🤔 But as far as I can see it didn't add the udev rules anyway.
But, after installing nitrokey-app via apt and removing it again (apt did not remove the deps), the snap is working fine. That means, any of the deps for nitrokey-app seem to be not included in the snap. Could this be the case?

[alex-nitrokey]

Okay, my fault. After installing scdaemon it helps to unplug and plugin again the Nitrokey 😉 sorry.

So yes, installing scdaemon does the trick, so probably something about udev rules? They are in the snap folder though...
