Weird, I could swear I posted a reply to your 'what is your host OS?" question.

The answer: Slackware Linux.

well, perhaps it is a permission issue. Copy the /lib/udev/rules.d/99-asi.rules file (from the VM) to where ever Slackware stores the udev rules files and restart. That might make a difference.

I've been away from this project for a bit ... had an astronomy final and assorted other things to get through.

Trying again under Debian. I'll post my results. Have to get Virtualbox all configured.

No happiness. Same as before.

I have a copy of Windows 7 lying around here, but I'd hate to have to resort to installing that.

OK, I've established that Ekos is not able to see the attached USB device.

Installing the ZWO drivers on the host machine seems the logical next step. Will try that tonight when I get home from work.

If that fails, I can try installed kstars-bleeding (I've seen instructions how to install this on Ubuntu but not Debian, but since the former is based on the latter, it shouldn't be too hard) and see if I can make it all work without a VM. Or I guess I could replace Debian with Ubuntu ... it's important to me to get this working. :)

If it is important, then get Kubuntu 16.04 installed.

OK, I have

- installed Kubuntu 16.04
- installed indi-full and kstars-bleeding
- attached the camera

... much more happens now, but I don't get the same set of icons (including the one to 'capture' ) as I do when I load the simulators profile.

I guess the thing to do is load the latest ASI SDK?

UPDATE: I've downloaded the SDK, but (as I should have remembered) it contains no instructions re: what to do with it or where to install the files so they will be correctly accessed. I'm writing to the ZWO people.

No need to load anything, once you install kstars-bleeding, it automatically installs all latest drivers. But currently there is an issue with ASI driver.

OK. If there is any way I can help out (testing, etc) I'd be more than happy to do so.
