Hello,

I am having another issue with crashing now. I am trying to just run the simulators. I get the pop up "Ekos detected an instance of INDI servers running". I click "Yes" and then Kstars Crashes. I have posted the log below. Thanks!

Run it via gdb

If KStars crashes, type in bt to get the backtrace and post it here.

I have no idea what I did. But this time around while I deleted the folder in application support and reinstalled kstars/ekos it worked. I am back to a full reset essentially. Everything connects and I have not had any instances of crashing yet.. So for now I am not going to do anything.

Just for clarification, since I am not a heavy computer user(I dont even know how to use terminal really).When you say type in bt, where doI type that into? Do I open terminal? Or is there a different location where this needs to be typed in?

Yes, you do this in the terminal.

GDB is a debug program that will give Jasem detailed information where exactly during kstars execution the problem occurs. That will allow him to fix it.

The first command starts GDB ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Debugger ) and records the kstars execution steps and details to a file, the second command ( bt ) will backtrace the stack and show where the problem occurred.
