Hello
I came out for a night of shots ... I connect all the equipment with ecos and everything ok
But when I do the preview ecos gives me a mistake and tells me to look indi
In my log window I return this error:

2017-08-14T19: 34: 24: Exposure failed to save image ... Directory not found
2017-08-14T19: 34: 24: Error downloading image from camera: Directory not found
2017-08-14T19: 34: 23: Starting 1 sec exposure

I tried restarting, changing the directory, updating drivers indi, changing usb cable, but nothing ...
What can it be?

Thank you
Paolo

Make sure autofocus is off and bulb mode is on in your camera.

Those errors are very misleading. I spent hours mucking around with the exact same errors only to find that the AF switch on the camera was turned on and switching it off solved the problem.

Hi
I forgot to give you more info ..
Canon 1100D on at65 (no lens canon), so no autofocus
Bulb mode on
I've been using the camera for 2 years, never had problems ...
I did 3 photo nights the first week of August, all right
In the meantime I did only the indi ... ages made in the night of the other night ...
Today I try with the virtual machine version without updating then I'll tell you
Thanks

Paul

Ps: excuse for google english ... :-)

Check if you accidentally switched away the knob from Manual mode (M). That can be also a reason for cryptic error messages from gphoto.

I rush for the advice, but the dsrl was set correctly.
I resolved uninstalling and reinstalling indi-full and libgphoto2
I also removed the libgphoho2 ppa I had put (I do not know if this was the problem)
I thought I did this because I did try to put astroberry server 1.4 on raspberry3 and the problem on the canon did not come up.

Thank you
Paolo

(sorry for my English)

Ringazio per i consigli, ma la dsrl era settata correttamente.
Ho risolto disinstallando e reinstallando indi-full e libgphoto2
Ho anche tolto il ppa di libgphoho2 che avevo messo (non so se era questo il problema)
Ho pensato di fare ciò perchè ho fatto la prova di mettere astroberry server 1.4 su raspberry3 e il problema sulla canon non si presentava.

Grazie
Paolo
