Greetings Jasem. Thank you very much for your work!! I made the mini update on Ubuntu 20.04 but didnt see any improvement. Should I remove and install again Kstars?

Thank you for the fix and all of the work you do!

Unfortunately, kstars seems to have disappeared from the Ubuntu PPA. Am I missing something?

scott@basilisk:~$ grep kstars /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_mutlaqja_*
/var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_mutlaqja_ppa_ubuntu_dists_groovy_main_binary-amd64_Packages:Recommends: kstars-bleeding, indi-bin

Using the nightly builds PPA seemed to work, and my Ekos Tools menu item is back. Hooray.

@Georgios Lekkas:

Try clearing your local apt cache
sudo apt-get clean

And then be sure to use the nightly PPA

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mutlaqja/indinightly
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indi-full kstars-bleeding

@Jaseem -- 

Thank you for your attention to this. And all of the work you do in general! It's critical for me. :)
Would it be possible to keep a prior version of the build in the PPA for thees kinds of situations? Could be less stressful all around!

Greetings Scott.
Thank you very much for the suggestion. Yes with the nightly build everything is back but unfortunately both my cameras are not recognized by ekos. I bet its a problem with the unstable nightly build.

About Ubuntu PPA,yes I also noticed a problem there. I tried to completely remove kstars-bleeding,indi-full and more and reinstall them again to make a fresh install. But every time I tried to install kstars-bleeding I always got a "package kstars-bleeding has no installation candidate" so I guess there is a problem with the upgrade. Fingers crossed for an update on this. And again, a big thank you to Jasem and the development team for their hard work on this project.

Best regards,
George.

Hi Georgios!

Glad we're on the same page. I just learned that all of my ZWO gear ALSO no longer works with the latest indilib. :)

I get an indi_asi_ccd crashed error in Ekos.

Jaseem -- shall I send you debug data?

Hello Scott. My Atik and QHY are not recognized by Ekos. Reading the logs,I can see that there is a successful connection at ATIK and QHY drivers but after a while connection is lost leading to an error message from Ekos. Both cameras are powered on and connected to my laptop. I attach the log file but preferably I think we should wait for a fix and things to "calm down" with the upgrade.

Best regards,
George.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mutlaqja/indinightly
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indi-full kstars-bleeding

Is a restart required (or a good idea) after this or an apt-get update/upgrade?
