PowerBox V2 under Fedora

I have 2 questions.

Is there a known problem with the PowerBox V2 under Fedora 31?
Whether through KStars / EKOS or directly in Python through PyIndi, the symptom is the same: at the end of the 1st polling period (I tried a minute for testing) the client receives a "newDevice" followed by 'a disconnection. In addition with Kstars the app is friezed.
For information I installed the latest versions of Kstars (3.4.2) and libindi-bleeding (1.8.1).

Finally is there a particular reason why the different versions of libindi from the lupinix repository are always for 1.8.1 while the last version is in 1.8.5?

I recompiled version 1.8.5 and it works almost perfectly.
Some problems with the current values, but this must be due to my old firmware version which I cannot update because Pegasus does not provide its firmware on its site :(

They do provide firmwear updates, you have to connect the UPB to a windows machine and when you open the software it will check and find the firmwear update and then install, it’s an automatic procedure....

I know, but if I use INDI it is precisely because I do not have (and I do not want) Windows at home :)

Well then you are stuck with the old firmware, which does not work well at all with INdI...... Simples...
I was only trying to help...

Sorry, my intention was not to hurt you.
I still thank you for your proposal.
I'm going to install a Windows VM to recover the firmware ...

Somewhat semi-OT, but other manufacturers have the same problem. E.g., ZWO says to support Linux, but their FW upgrade programs are Windows-only, so I'm stuck with a badly-working EAF :(
(and I don't even have a windows license to set up a VW or something)
