Hi,

I am running my Indi and Kstars under Ubuntu 18.04 using a bluetooth device connected to my mount for controlling it.
Manually i have to connect to the bluetooth device, then start Kstars an in Kstars start Indi.
Then i can operate everything.
Now what i want is that when i startup my pc also the connection to my bluetooth device is made and Kstars starts with Indi and all running.

Is it possible to do so?

Ps. i now managed to start Kstars automatically with startup of the pc. Are there any option with the start command of Kstars to startup Indi etc?

Best regards,

Joshua

INDI Web Manager can autostar a profile. You can write a simple DBus script to also communicate with KStars after it's running to automatically start a profile. Many ways to do it.

Regarding bluetooth, there are a couple of ways to do that, but since you're on 18.04 I'd start by checking /etc/bluetooth/main.conf. Supposedly bluetooth support improved quite a bit in 18.04 over 16.04 so maybe you don't need to do arcane scripts to get this automatically paired after bootup.
