Kstars/ekos was working about 3 h with no errors, but finally crashed...

the end of the logs say that: QImage: out of memory, returning null image !!!

Will check on MacOS today if there is any memory leaks.

No memory leaks are apparent. Please use the Activity monitor and check the RAM usage. Check if either KStars or the INDI drivers use up more memory with time.

Hi Jasem,

Yesterday memory usage was 60%-70% (RAM) and CPU 50%. I saw some SWAP usage, I don't know why... I will check it this night with the default monitor (ubuntu Mate).

With FITS Viewer disable, I only make some Zoom in and out to recent images in main Ekos tab...

I read this: www.indilib.org/forum/search.html?query=...ations&childforums=1 --> I may uninstall it !!!

Two days ago, I installed the missing packages of this 'annoying Phonon' message.
In Ubuntu Mate (not KDE) I did'nt found where to disable notifications sounds...

thanks for your help

Hi Jasem,

I made more tests during night to real objects, and memory usage is about 80-90%.
Look the PDF with screenshots...

May I kill some services? this 'phonon' message at the end of the logs is getting me MAD...

thanks

Hi Jasem,

I was taking some pictures ( Everthing was PERFECT) , but I realised that memory RAM increased up more than 800 MB, while I was doing ZOOM IN in fits viewer (main window, see attached file). I could see monitoring it with htop ...

I have FITS VIEWER disabled, but I only was observing the 'round' stars...
There is atached logs.

Now , I installed ZRAM from : github.com/novaspirit/rpi_zram

I will see whats happening...

thanks for your help,
