Software is up to date on my Kubuntu 15.04 Laptop and worked several weeks ago. It is not a hardware issue as the mount works correctly on Windows/ASCOM.

and so on ...

lsusb shows the serial adapter, /dev/ttyUSB0 is there and dialout, well, yes. So where is the problem?

Can anyone confirm this or has a running system comparable to mine?

Klaus

I'm having same problem, running on ubuntu mate 15.04 kstars bleeding updated yesterday and just now and worked last sunday.

When starting indiserver from ekos get error message that eqmod has crashed

Thank you for confirmation.

I'm having the same problem after updating Ubuntu to 15.04 (latest release as of last Wednesday). Please update thread when solution found.....

READ before you post any support request

If there is crash, gdb is your friend. Check above.

After getting new INDI stuff this morning indi_eqmod_telescope now starts up. Anyway, trying to connect leads to a timeout:

2015-09-05T08:49:47: Error: -> tty read failed, check connection: Timeout error
2015-09-05T08:49:32: dispatch_command: ":e1", 4 bytes written

klaus@sirius:~$ lsusb

klaus@sirius:~$ ll /dev/ttyUSB0

klaus@sirius:~$ groups klaus

What can I do more to help?
Klaus

I just tested it with my HEQ5 mount and it worked fine. I got the chance also to fix "not resuming track after joystick movement" bug while I was at it. I will try to make the package available within an hour. You have another issue though I'm not sure about, hit me on Google hangouts to see how we can resolve this.

I'll debug driver tonight

I tested again today (without updating) and driver didn't crash, but connecting timed out with same errors as Klaus.
I didn't succeed on debugging for some reason. I'll try again after sunday a week from now.
Tested mount and cable on windows/ascom and they worked fine.

Got new indi stuff today and eqmod is back.

Thanks to the magician.
