Capture module hangs after pausing capture

Capture module hangs after pausing capture was created by Greg

I'm not sure the exact way to repeat the problem but seems to occur if pause is attempted while the guide camera is operating, So to repeat the problem I had the guide camera looping. This occurred on another system as well. We both had the same setup.

attached is the log where the problem occurred twice.

Please check, it seems to be the wrong log file.

That's another problem. Logging preferences were turned off automatically.

Are they present during the session? Or are you running out of disk space?

Here is another set of logs. The problem occurred after completing the capture sequence when I tried to restart it. I believe I need to both have the guide camera operating and pause the capture. When the capture was complete and I tried to restart it, the capture hangs. If I abort and restart again it hangs again. I have to disconnect and restart the drivers to clear the problem. Here is a couple of screen shots too showing the restart windows and the status when hung.

OK, I can see the problem in the log files. It seems like the CCD driver obtains an ABORT and then gets into trouble:

One explanation is a bug that slipped into KStars 3.2.2 and should be fixed with KStars 3.2.3.

If you are familiar with compiling KStars, please fetch the latest version from KStars GitHub .

Hope that helps.
