Hi Rob,

Tried the Beta 2 file and got the same results as before. The moment I start the Ekos profile there's a brief flash of the Indi Control Panel and then EKOS and KStars simply crashes/quits. I've attached four log files (apparently two are created each time I launched KStars and then tried to start EKOS).

Let me know if I can share any other information.

Ok I am noticing a trend in your logs that you attached. It seems that it is somehow related to the filter wheel somehow. Next, It could be something with that driver or KStars, or a config file. So a good next test would be to remove that driver from the profile and see if you still get a crash.

Hi Rob,

I removed the Manual Filter from the configuration and tried multiple relaunches, including after a system restart. Still the same result. I've attached log files for you from the runs without the filter. It's strange because this configuration runs fine under 3.6.1.

Hi Rob,

I take a look to the file in your beta2 package and find wrong link to your user directory.

Patrick, you might be on to something. I just looked at the previous DMG I made and all the links to libraries are relative links whereas somehow this current dmg has some absolute links which could very much cause a problem like this on somebody else's system but not mine since on mine the files exist. I don't think I changed anything in the build script that could cause this and I don't think INDI changed. So let me see if this is change in craft or if it has something to do with Ventura. I recently updated to Ventura.

This is why you guys are so important! Thanks!

Ok, I investigated the cause of the absolute links and it turns out it was due to a change I had made to the script between 3.6.1 and 3.6.2. I had added a couple of symbolic links in the script but I had made the links to the full path of the files by accident. So I just made a correction to it and built another dmg.

Please see if this one works. 3rd time is the charm I hope.

Thank you Patrick for the clue! Hopefully it was just the links and isn't something wrong with those two drivers.

Rob - unfortunately I am getting the same result. I've attached log files for your review. Regrettably I don't have the technical chops to interpret the information.

I just downloaded and tried your lastest version Rob.
I also have the exact same problems I had earlier.

1. EKOS opens up fine, but it crashes to the desktop as soon as I try and connect the Moonlight Nitecrawler focuser/rotator, or AAG Cloudwatcher.
However, these devices load fine: Nexdome, ZWO EFW, ASI1600MM, SX CCD Lodestar, and iOptron CEM120. As long as I don't launch the Cloudwatcher or Nightcrawler it seems fine. But once I g back and try and load with of those two, KStars crashes to the desktop.

2. After crashing, NOTHING will load up until I reboot the Mac. If I skip rebooting, and just try to launch ANY device it will crash. But after a reboot, I can launch EKOS and load all those devices I listed above, except the Nitecrawler or Cloudwatcher. Those crash the whole system.

3. Version 3.6.2 beta (build 2022-10-28) works fine with all my devices.

Hi Peter,

In terms of your issue with rebooting: If you do get a crash while ekos is running, indiserver might still be running when it crashes KStars. a quick way to stop that would be to go to terminal and type "killall indiserver" and I would think that would have the same effect for you as the rebooting you described.

Based on the other part of what you said, it may be that there is some issue with the Moonlight driver and the AAG Cloudwatcher driver. I do have a moonlight, so I could probably run a test of that driver myself and see what happens.

Frederick, I will take a look at it and see if there are any other clues in your logs.

Sorry Rob. "killall indiserver" had no effect. After killing indiserver and relaunching KStars, it still crashes as soon as I try and connect to any device. I have to reboot to get it running again.
