Hi Keith,

Have you seen this: github.com/danjperron/Pi5PWM_HARDWARE
I haven't tried it because my only RPi5 is in my observatory for testing.

I also noticed that SX cameras don't report temperature reading, temperature is 0 all the time even if cooling is set to -10.

Hi all,

Running Ubuntu 23.10 on RPi5 for the first time using INDI Stable and indi_eqmod_telescope and the driver keeps crashing, after compiling the driver from source makes it working again.
Launchpad doesn't show any error.

$ indiserver indi_eqmod_telescope

That's some good news
I stumbled over this issue using my RPi5 running Ubuntu 23.10, it seems that there is something in QT that's not really compatible with Wayland yet as a window manager, so starting up kstars that way will use XWayland which is a kind of "bridge" between X and Wayland, I hope that explains a little anyway.

Thank you for the test, I'm sure it will help others too.

Hi Nelson,

Can you try to start KStars from terminal like this: XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 kstars
I'm a bit curious if starting kstars this way will work..

I have never used Stellarmate and don't know if it's using X or Wayland as window manager but that could maybe make the difference how the starmap looks like ??

Hi,

You can try this: sudo apt install gsc libindi1 indi-bin kstars-bleeding
I also had trouble trying the indi-full but the above worked just fine.

Thanks Jasem!!

Hi all,

I just updated to latest KStars 3.6.8 and all drivers, now the problem is that usually I get image downloaded in about 3-4 seconds but now it takes much longer..

Hi all,

Just tested the latest stable version of KStars and was looking for objects for tonight if weather stays ok..

Hi Walter,

It sounds much like something I was experiencing for a while ago..

Hi John,

Thank you for the information, I'll try that tomorrow by setting overscan to 0.
I haven't seen any backlash so far but will keep an eye on it.
