The summer storms are finally over and it's time for imaging!
I've had problems getting kstars to build so reverted to the bleeding builds on my Mint system running Xenial (up to date). To be safe, I reinstalled indi-full and kstars-bleeding (apt-get install --reinstall ...), including indi-*.
What I am experiencing is roughly as follows (running from console):
- kstars starts, hangs ~ 20 seconds, at which point the following message is output. After the message is output kstars (not ekos) seems to run OK
Gkr-Message: secret service operation failed: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
- Start Ekos - seems ok
- Start INDI - launches the control panel, devices connect. System operates for up to a minute, then kstars hangs. I can reproduce this with real hardware as well as with the simulators
- On occasion, if I close the control panel immediately, I might get a job started. This is very hit and miss, usually ends up with a hang.
I grabbed gdb output (attached). Note that I had to interrupt the process as kstars/ekos just hangs indefinitely.
A quick test starting indiserver externally to ekos seems to help. Need to test this a bit more to confirm.
EDIT: Running an external indi server does not help. Second log file attached running an external server.
