The latest indi_qhy_ccd driver appears to crash every time I try to take a preview image. Tested on QHY11C and QHY5LII cameras. Anyone else seeing problem on QHY?
OS is Linuxmint 20.3

Hi Dan,

Long time I didn't use my QHY-10! I took out of its box and tried it on my Debian:
* Debian GNU/Linux 11.4
* Kstars 3.6.1 Beta (compiled from sources)
* indi-qhy 2.7
* libqhy 22.7.23

Taking a preview image from the CCD tab worked for me. Also worked from the indi control panel.
Do you have any error message?

I've probably been too fast responding... I've done some more tests and can confirm I4ve seen same crashes.
First time Kstars notified about driver crash and restarted it. Then trying to take the next frame, Kstars crashed as a whole.

However after restarting the indiserver I can't reproduce it anymore

Thanks Alexandre. No matter how I seem to try to get logging turned on, it turns itself off. And, in spite of all attempts, my indi_qhy_ccd is continuing to crash. I will wait for more input on this topic.

I've seen this some place else on the board, but, here is the log:

It seems that your libqhyccd.so.22 file is missing or not in the right place..
If you still have your build folder it should be there then you can copy it like so: "sudo cp ~/Projects/build/indi-3rdparty-libs/libqhy/libqhyccd.so.22 /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/".
/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ is the folder where your file should be..
You can run "sudo find / -name libqhyccd.so.22" to see if you have the file somewhere..

IF you install the QHYSDK from the QHYCCD.com website, the files get put in different locations.

I have seen this when I installed the latest QHYSDK from the QHY website. If you have installed the SDK, uninstall it and re-install the INDI QHY driver.

Interestingly enough I figured out the latest SDK provided for Linux by QHY (at least the last one I found) ships a
.so.22.8.17.17
version of the lib, but the symlink is
.so.20
...
That's probably a bug and you should rename that link to
.so.22
, which is exactly the shared object file your system is missing.
All libs should be installed in /usr/local/lib which is a quite common location for manually installed software and most systems should look in this folders for files. So I would assume that simply renaming the file will fix the problem.
(Assuming you installed the library from the QHY SDK here)

Hi Alex,
I recognize the same problem with actual SDK from QHY. Doing the right links in /usr/local/lib still gives me the message:

ldd /usr/bin/indi_qhy_ccd |grep libqhy*
libqhyccd.so.22 => not found

Any ideas about this.
Setup is ubuntu 22.04 with actual 3.6.1 KStars and EKOS and latest QHY SDK

@ Sonny: How do you uninstall SDK and re-install the INDI QHY driver?

If you download the SDK and unpack it you will see two shell commands:

uninstall.sh
distclean.sh

run both of those ./uninstall.sh and ./distclean.sh

To re-install, you just re-install the INDI driver package.

Hi Sonny,
did this:

sudo bash uninstall.sh
sudo bash distclean.sh
sudo apt-get install indi-full kstars-bleeding --reinstall

still:
ldd /usr/bin/indi_qhy_ccd |grep libqhy*

shows:
libqhyccd.so.22 => not found


see the QHY600 in /dev as symlink.
I had the sdk always in the past installed and running. Since upgrade to ubuntu 22.04 (from 20.04) I have this problem.

Any further thoughts about what I'm doing wrong ?
Many thanks
Michel

Did you run ldconfig after renaming the symlink from /usr/local/lib/libqhyccd.so.20 to /usr/local/lib/libqhyccd.so.22?
