I downloaded Kstars Ekos 3.4.3 a couple of days ago running on my Linux Mint 19 desktop. Suddenly my Altair 183M fan only driver crashes. It has worked fine the last year or so so this is new. Thanks

You're on stable or nightly PPA? Does it crash on nightly as well?

Stable build

Okay I just tested it with the nightly build and it also crashed. The Altair Hypercam 183M driver comes back with repeated error messages, “The Indi driver crashed. Restart? Auto restart in secs”
Not a very informative error message, but when I go through my equipment profile I find everything is there except the Altair camera. I will send my log shortly.
The error is undefined symbol in indi_altair_ccd ZN4INDI7CCDChip8setFrameEiiiii

Hi, any input more on this topic?
(Planned to use Altair 183c with ekos/kstars)
Regards

No one has commented. I did some additional experiments. I ran the Windows version of Kstars with a Indi server on a RPI4 running Astroberry. This worked just fine with Altair driver stable. I am of course running the mono version. My problems may be because I was running Linux Mint 19 which is not quite Ubuntu and Mint has its own update cycle.

with Altair

Hello,

I have the same problem as yours.
All runs fine on my Ubuntu 20.04 laptop but I can't make it run on my Nafabox (tinkerboard with ubuntu 18.04). When I run indiserver -v indi_altair_ccd I get:

2020-10-04T17:26:29: startup: indiserver -v indi_altair_ccd
2020-10-04T17:26:29: Driver indi_altair_ccd: pid=3540 rfd=3 wfd=6 efd=7
2020-10-04T17:26:29: listening to port 7624 on fd 4
2020-10-04T17:26:29: Driver indi_altair_ccd: indi_altair_ccd: symbol lookup error: indi_altair_ccd: undefined symbol: _ZN4INDI7CCDChip8setFrameEiiii
Child process 3540 died

and indiserver exits after 10 attempts.

I run the latest stable version of indilib with libaltaircam.so.1.47.0 installed in /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf.

Have you solved your issue since your last post?

Kind regards.

Hi!
Finally I solved the issue after a complete uninstall/reinstall

Clear skies.

Sorry my forum access has been broken the last few weeks. Finally today I was able to login. I gave up on the Kstars/indi/Ekos version for Linux Mint. Something broke ans I could ever fix it. Linux Mint is based on some earlier version of Ubuntu but has its own update cycle. I switched to ASTROBERRY ON MY Raspberry Pi 4 for my Indi server and use Kstars Ekos on Windows. That worked right away.
