Hi,

I reinstalled the driver and same behaviour.

As mentioned before, I suspect that this has something to do with some change in the hw (power, etc), that cause the hanging of the driver, since a fresh reinstall of OS + kstars + INDI has not solved the issue. So I have switched to use a rasppi + ubuntu mate 16.04 and everything is working perfectly (I was using the netbook for the superior disk capacity / USB / screen capabilities wrt the rasppi)

Thus it is not necessary that you spend time connecting remotely to solve the issue, I imagine you have enough tasks on hand already. Many thanks for offering anyway.

If I happen to find out the root cause of this I'll let you know.

Thanks
Pepe

Hi,

Thank you for posting you reply.
I am facing exactly the same problem.
I found it on different topics on this forum but each time without a real answer.
I still can't connect my Canon 1300D to Ekos.
Did you find a way to correct this ?

Thanks in advance !

James:

Your webpage of libgphoto2-bleeding in launchpad.net/~mutlaqja/+archive/ubuntu/libgphoto2 stated :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mutlaqja/libgphoto2
sudo apt-get update

Command of "apt-add-respository" did not work.

I see that you use Kstars 2.9.8. Is there a reason not to upgrade to version 3.0.0?

I have the same issue and tried all of the suggestions following through from the beginning. Camera works fine with gphoto2.

With the exception of the camera name the logs are identical. The behavior is identical using gphotoccd or the canon dslr.
