Indi server crashes was created by Tim

I decided to do a clean install. So I removed all the indi and kstars packages using synaptic package manager and then re-installed by doing the following
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mutlaqja/indinightly
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indi-full kstars-bleeding gsc

Then I tried to run indiserver from the konsole using
indiserver -v indi_simulator_telescope indi_simulator_ccd

This failed with the following output
tim@dell-desktop:~$ indiserver -v indi_simulator_telescope indi_simulator_ccd

2021-02-19T22:29:48: good bye

Can someone help as I've tried everything I can think of. The library libcfitsio.so.5 doesn't seem to exist in any repository to allow me to install it.

Thanks

Hi

I've tried multiple attempts to get this to work now. Including several complete removals of kstars and Indi from the computer. I've tried installing using synaptic package manager, using the instructions to install from the command line and an attempt to compile from source. On each occasion the install process did not throw up any errors but trying to run the telescope or ccd simulator threw up the errors I've already posted

Do this :
sudo apt list |grep cfits
to get a list of libcfitsio and lib ccfits you have to choose from. You can probably get away with just libcfitsio-bin, so I would try that first.

Thank you. I've just tried that and I get the following output
tim@dell-desktop:~$ sudo apt list |grep cfits

So it would appear they are installed already. I installed the libastro one but still get the same result

I'm wondering if libcfitsio is in the right place. I have Ubuntu 20.04, and I find libcfitsio.so here:
ls -la /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu |grep cfitsio
-rw-r--r--   1 root root  2419662 Aug  4  2019 libcfitsio.a

-rw-r--r--   1 root root  1498520 Aug  4  2019 libcfitsio.so.8.3.47

I tested the indi server and it works. I hadn't run it on this machine before.

I've just had a look and I get the same I think

<code>tim@dell-desktop:/mnt$ cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
tim@dell-desktop:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$ ls -la /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu |grep cfitsio
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2419662 Aug 4 2019 libcfitsio.a

tim@dell-desktop:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$
</code>

My indiserver error message says it can't find
libcfitsio.so.5
though. Not these other ones.

Perhaps there is another libcfitsio.so somewhere before this directory in the libpath. There may be one that is linked to libcfitsio.so.5. You can see if there is one by:
locate libcfitsio.so

Hopefully it will turn up another one somewhere besides /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu.

Hi,

I've been following this discussion for a while and I's a bit interesting case. If indisever asks for "libcfitsio.so.5" it may be because the drivers/indiserver is a old version ?
Can you post what you get with the command : ls -l /usr/bin/indi_simulator_*

There is a difference in file sizes compared to my installation, this is what I get.

So my guess is that you have a wrong version of indiserver/drivers installed for some reason ? you should check that you have the right ppa for "INDI Stable Builds".

The "locate libcfitsio.so" is just fine, but did you do a : sudo updatedb before you did the locate command ?

Read the first post again. Tim is running the nighlty builds and recently has updated them.
