@andreas yes I'm supposed to fix the driver installation cmake script at some point, but I'm still busy with my fixed obs :)

@tcm check the "start" menu, this should be in system? I'm not used to your distribution.

Installed Lubuntu overnight. Installed kstars in the morning today. Whole thing looks different now, like latest versions. Installed your driver today. Couldnt find it in aux but was busy for work. Ill have a try in the evening today. Thanx for now for the great support!

Hi again.

I am running KStars in the newest (i believe) version now.
My Canon is running allready. Did not test the EQ6-r now, because its standing outside atm.
Now i copied the .rules file to the etc/udev/rules.d
I cheked if its there. OK. What i saw is that in the another system i had before, there were way more rules files there. the only one there except yours is the meadesi.rules.
So i got back to ekos and still can not find the driver under aux.
So maybe with my fresh up to date system you have an idea? Here are some screens for you. Maybe it helps.

Mmh I'm looking at the code of Ekos, and though there could be a typo, the MGen driver is described. So, why doesn't it appear?

So I downloaded a fresh update of kstars-bleeding, and the driver doesn't show up, agreed. But with kstars-bleeding, I don't get the full 3rd party drivers apparently.

Installing indi-full would not help, because it stayed to version 1.4, latest is 1.6.2. So any advice related to indi-full is basically outdated information.

Soooo I don't know. I'll ask on the Ekos subforum :)

Well, apparently all 3rd party drivers are provided by separate builds on Jasem's ppa. The MGen driver isn't one of them :) I'll ask what can be done.

There's another point: from your screenshot, it seems the MGen is still recognized as an USB serial adapter. This means the rule file was probably ineffective. It might be that yours doesn't match the serial number "MGS05443" mentioned there.

Could you run "udevadm info /dev/ttyUSB0" in a terminal and check what appears for attribute "serial"?

(side note: I'm wrong about indi-full being outdated)

Thanks. You serial number is "MGS10578", that should be used instead of the current serial number in the rules file. Then either reboot your computer or execute "sudo udevadm control --reload".

Yes, it does not appear in the list because there is no executable for this driver, because indi-full does not provide it. I think it was...forgotten. I opened a topic on subforum "Ekos" to try to have it built.

However "dmesg" should output something different now that the rules file changed, could you check what happens when you connect the device?
