Ok - so now that kStars is running again - as soon as I launch INDI - I get a driver crash notice for the Nikon DSLR. I click continue to restart the driver and it just is going in a perpetual loop at this point.

I use a Nikon Z7 (full frame 8256 x 5504 pixels) on an Odroid-N2 with 4 G RAM. It seems to me over a year or so, the only way I can reliably capture images is to turn on the "Limited Resources" mode. Having done that I can still view and zoom into images with the Fits Viewer. Each fits file captured is 90.9 M. My previous experience would suggest that Debayering would certainly kill it eventually.The camera of course, is in Manual mode and I'm saving in Fits format.

About 2 weeks ago, I believe I <em>naively</em> let a system update run that trashed my 20.04 Ubuntu Mate. No USB devices were recognized, even the Samsung T5 SSD. So I re-imaged the computer (see My notes )

So now I'm on Release 20.04.2 LTS (Focal Fossa) 64-bit, Kernel Linux 4.9.241-109 aarch64, MATE 1.24.0, but <strong>haven't had any clear weather</strong> to test the new installation yet.


Is it crashing with the Nightly PPA?

For me, with a fresh software update just now (using nightly PPA Build: 2021-02-06T00:05:32Z) and testing the image capture only (during daylight) I'm able to disable limited resources, and enable auto debayer, auto WCS and Quick HFR without KStars crashing. This is with PHD2 running, but not guiding. Memory usage is about 2.9G of 3.6G with 131 M of 1.8G Swap memory. The Fits Images are about 90.9 M.

With everything enabled as is, it crashes?

Can you post the Device Manager log from StellarMate Dashbaord --> Diagnostics --> Logs --> Device Manager? Post it as a file attachment.

Sorry for the delay with the logs. Because of some of the earlier issues, I decided to reimage my system entirely. Once I had a fresh install in place, I changed to the Beta channel and ran all the updates I could find from Package Updater. I rebuild my Profile and have everything set up fresh. Still getting the driver crash notice I mentioned before when I start my profile in Ekos. Attached is the log. I have tried to run the DSLR test and it just fails.

Here's an additional log file. Hope it is helpful!

From this - it seems maybe the issue has to do with the follow from the log:

Thanks, I found the issue with libraw. Apparently, v21 is now available and I'll switch the build to it. Beta should be updated later tonight.

Thanks Jasem. I’ll update as soon as it’s available, test, and update with the outcome. Greatly appreciate the help and all the work on StellarMate. It’s a great tool!

Here's the latest: I've run all the updates and now kstars won't launch. I've rebooted a few times, but it's refusing to launch. I get a spinning hourglass for a few seconds and then nothing.

I tried to run sudo apt-get install libraw21. That updates libraw, but that action removes kstars:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  indi-full indi-gphoto indi-pentax kstars-bleeding kstars-bleeding-dbg libraw20
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libraw21
.....
stellarmate@stellarmate:~ $ kstars
bash: /usr/bin/kstars: No such file or directory
stellarmate@stellarmate:~ $

If I reinstall kstars with sudo apt-get install indi-full kstars-bleeding I get the following notice during install:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libraw21
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  indi-full indi-gphoto indi-pentax kstars-bleeding kstars-bleeding-dbg
  libraw20

So it seems I'm stuck right now. I'll be the first to admit I may be missing something or not executing the proper commands - I'm very new to all this. Just know enough to be dangerous with google. :)

I've installed the update. Kstars is now loading again, but I'm right back to Ekos / kstars crashing every time I try to either loop frames or capture a preview in the Capture Module.

The last entry in the log files is either [ org.kde.kstars.ekos.capture] - "Starting framing..." or [ org.kde.kstars.ekos.capture] - Preparing capture job "/home/stellarmate/Pictures/Light" for execution.

I'll attach the log files for review.

I've been installing the nightly builds daily and re-testing each time. I'm still having the same issue of the program just crashing fully if I try to loop or capture a preview in the Capture Module. Looping & Preview work fine in the Focus module. Could this be an issue with the FITS viewer? It doesn't get invoked in Focus - the image appears in the built-in window. The error logs don't appear to provide any reason for the crash that I can see - but hopefully smarter minds will see the problem. At this point it has me unable to effectively use StellarMate with my Nikon Z6 setup. Any help toward resolution would be appreciated!

Hi,
Just checked my Z7 again. It still works when I ask for a FITS preview.
This is with FITS using Auto Stretch, Auto Debayer, Auto WCS and Auto Compute HFR.
I have 4G RAM and 2 G ZRAM.
Although I just tried it a 2nd time and had KStars crash (while I am compiling KStars from source at the same time). I'm pretty certain it just ran out of RAM. This compile is using -J2. With -J3 the compiler will eventually abort with what I believe are memory issues, even if KStars isn't running.
I noticed I don't get a nikon specific log file matching what you provided. I have Ekos INDI, Capture and the CCD driver logs enabled.
