KStars, INDI rollback on Linux

This is another earnest request.

The INDI environment no longer works with this update.

I bought a new PC, reinstalled the system and it still behaves strangely.

Only the Raspberry Pi 4, which maintains the old environment, is working properly in my environment. (UbuntuMATE22.04 and INDI2.01 newly built with Raspberry Pi 4 have a problem.)

There is not a single environment that works properly with the updated one. . . (I don't know if the problem will be fixed... It's very painful not to be able to observe during that time.)

Consider the rollback option to an older version on Linux as well.

I don't have any issue on my system but I made a shell alias to do a proper rollback (see here ) if one desires to do so, it does not work on apt based OSes but the logic is pretty simple to follow, grab an older package from the repo for your OS (apt, etc.) with wget and install it with your package manager (pacman, apt, dnf, yum)

it should be pretty easy to port that to debian based systems

"...option to an older version on Linux as well."

Hi
@NOU maintains -excellent and easy to use- scripts to build and install previous versions:
gitea.nouspiro.space/nou/astro-soft-build

swtich or checkout the version you need:
gitea.nouspiro.space/nou/astro-soft-build/commits/branch/master

Clear skies and HTH,
Steve

thank you

I downgraded to 1.9.8 which I was using before.

KStars could not be downgraded due to an error, but I was able to downgrade the server and driver, so I was able to use the driver that did not work.

Hi everyone
An observation and poissible gotcha... Please tell me it doesn't matter...

NOU's scrips (referred to above) install some items (notably stellarsolver) under /usr/local whereas a default build and Jasem's PPA install under /usr.
Moving between install methods needs care as on my Ubuntu, /usr/local is in PATH before /usr.
e.g. you upgrade by installing to /usr, but you're still using the old stellarsolver at /usr/local

Could this create conflicts and build errors?

I did not try this myself, but in theory Nix should be able to solve this problem. All updates there are atomic and can be easily reverted.
It works on most distros.
