EQ6 does not respond properly

EQ6 does not respond properly was created by Eric Magnien

Bad news. With my EQ6 mount, when I click on the map in kstars, the mount is not responding (slew or track) except when I click park. I tested locally or in remote, with indi_celestron_gps or indi_synscan. No change. With Indi_celestron_gps, only the joystick manages to move the mount ... I do not understand what is happening.

Hehe, I just posted the same few seconds ago!.

I suspect you cannot put the site coordinates correctly. Right?

This is definitely a locale issue, are you using latest INDI & KStars bilbo?

I first thought it was coming from the computer, a recently installed program that would interfere. so I tested live usb (ubuntu 13.10), the latest versions kstars and Indi installed via svn and git, I have the same problem. I tested also in skychart, same problem

I just tested this in Manjaro linux, I set language to Catalan and tried to reproduce the behavior in the Telescope Simulator but all worked fine. When you tested live, was the locale English?

ok, I applied English locale to all my OS on my laptop, it works now... Site management in INDI still refuses to update (UTC & Scope location), but it does not affect the functions track & slew on the map. I gradually put french locale in ubuntu and see where the problem is

The problem comes only regional settings formats (number, date, currency). I switched to English (uk). Everything else is in French, it works

Maybe LC_NUMERIC locale?

publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pserie...files/LC_NUMERIC.htm

Try to change only the LC_NUMERIC and/or LC_MONETARY.

Edit. I'm too late. But still I think this is only a workaround :/ .

LC_NUMERIC is already set by INDI when sending number, so I don't understand why it's having problems still.

Hi,
I found one last (I hope) place where LC_NUMERIC was not set: it is in the dispatch function of the file indidriver.c
That corrects the GEOGRAPHIC_COORD bug for me (in french locale).
