Hi all,
if using Kstars and Ekos under gnome desktop (Ubuntu 16.04.2), every time you click on the little folder icon to chose a destination, the indi server gets disconnected.
It is reproducible even using simulators.
Changing the desktop manager on the same computer solves it.

Yeah I've seen this reported else where, not sure what to make of it. Any clues appreciated.

To be perfectly honest with you, I wouldn't worry about it. I just reported it here cause I didn't see it, and it's a good info t have in case you stumble upon it, that a simple DE change can solve it.
IMHO, you shouldn't use gnome for astro work anyway :)
It's possible it's some kind of dbus abuse from gnome, just a thought...

I have reported it here:

www.indilib.org/forum/ekos/1346-ekos-cra...ing-custom-path.html

But it was solved at the time with an update, I don't now what was changed.
In my case it really crashed Kstars but we got clueless.

I do confirm this on gnome desktop running on Ubuntu 16.04.2
This happens only in when KStars is started on a desktop and connects to a remote INDI server. It does not happen on RPi which runs both KStars and INDI locally.
I was not successful to identify the root cause though.
