As a new user of StellarMate OS I have to ask, because it's unclear to me on how I may Update to the 1.4 Release...

My Product -> Orders shows just one item: SM-101.

StellarMate OS
Download Info:

Download Limit: 10

Download

There is no 2nd download link or something alike to select the new release. It's just the same link to the release, I've already downloaded.

Are I'me expected o redownload that very same "file" and is the new version available at that URL?


I'm puzzled

You just click on the same link, If you place your mouse above it, you can see the OS version in the url - usually in the bottom left corner.

What I've done is, click the link and see if it's the same version as I have. If it is, I click cancel. BTW, I hope that 10 download limit is not a definite number especially as we try/test new versions

DO NOT DO this... I just did it and realized that your count of allowed download increases, even if you don't actually download it.

OK. Flashed 1.4. Restored my KStars/Ekos configs.
All seems to be working except one thing that I noticed so far:
My mount shown as disconnected in Ekos.
Mount: SW AZ-Gti (EQMod).
Connection is over WiFi (AZ-GTi is in Station mode).
Looks like the mount cannot connect to SM's hotspot.
Or something is not right with the driver?
SM's hotspot is active and I can VNC to it.
Mount works fine in SM 1.3.1 with latest updates.

Any idea?
Thanks!

Is there a way to upgrade to 1.4.1 without going through the whole imaging process? I see the small updates that you can do in the Raspberry Pi main desktop has your updates of course, but the SM Tools still shows the 1.4.0 version.

I'm hoping to get a new "INDI driver indi_canon_ccd" soon. That thing crashes on mine once or twice a session.

I updated to 1.4.1 OS and now for some reason VNC isn't working with Safari on my MacBook. It works for Firefox and it works on Safari on my iPad but not on my MacBook. I get "NoVNC encountered an error: Script Error". Any ideas as to where I should be looking to find the problem?

Not yet, but we're working on adding OS-level updater to StellarMate so you don't need to reimage anymore. INDI/Ekos can already be updated via the software updater, but we need another system for the rest of the core OS updates.

Try to clear cache or force a refresh.

Hello Jasem.

I have installed StellarMate v1.4.1, the IOS app for my iPad 3. I am able to connect and start ekos. The only thing that doesn't work for me is the VNC connection through StellarMate. All I see is a startup up popup I believe but no desktop.
If I launch a VNC session outside SM it works. I have tried the hotspot connection and local lan connection.

Have you seen this before?

Thanks

John

I can verify this on iOS, thanks for the report.

Tried connecting to stellarmate from kstars on my windows laptop and it fails to connect to stellarmate when you click on start ekos. If I click the web manager button in the profile editor it will connect, but not ekos.
Remote host is set to stellarmate.local

It was working with prior version of stellarmate OS

What's the message? Web Manager is running all the drivers OK? Is this SM OS v1.4.1 ?

Message is: "Failed to start profile on remote INDI web manager". When I open web manager in my browser, stellarmate seams to be running the drivers fine. No internet connection even though it's connected to my wifi network.
This was on 1.4.0

Tried updating to 1.4.1 this morning and it is completely unusable. Doesn't flash correctly using Etcher. After flashing it says "1 failed device". Looks like it is creating 3 partitions on the SD card instead of 2. It creates the main partition (199MB I believe), another formatted partition of 5.40GB and then the last partition is unallocated space (this is on a 64GB SD card). Loaded the SD card into device and I could connect to Stellarmate hot spot. Android app couldn't find stellarmate device though.

Flashed 1.4.0 back onto SD card with no problem and app found device. 1.4.0 is at least partially usable.
