Hi,

Hoping someone can help.
I'm trying to run Ekos with camera on Ubuntu Mate

Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Release:	18.04
Codename:	bionic

I've attached a picture of what is happening. When I try to connect the camera if just says connect in yellow. There is no error log. I've tried both Gphoto and Canon DLSR options.
Now the odd thing is I can take an image capture with gphoto2, but only when I'm using root permissions.
dan@astromate-SBC-FITPC2:~/.indi$ sudo gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download
New file is in location /capt0000.jpg on the camera
File capt0000.jpg exists. Overwrite? [y|n] y
Saving file as capt0000.jpg
Deleting file /capt0000.jpg on the camera

My installs from repo are:
libgphoto2-6:
  Installed: 2.5.22+201812221909~ubuntu18.04.1
  Candidate: 2.5.22+201812221909~ubuntu18.04.1
  Version table:

gphoto2:
  Installed: 2.5.15-2
  Candidate: 2.5.15-2
  Version table:
 *** 2.5.15-2 500
        500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Is this possibly a permission issue with gphoto2?
I checked permissions against an install on RPi3 with astroberry and they are the same. The camera connects fine with Astroberry installation on the RPi
My gphoto2 versions are different however: Ubuntu mate versions are:
dan@astromate-SBC-FITPC2:~$ gphoto2 -v
gphoto2 2.5.15

I've attached the logs from ekos.
With the connect issue I get the same yellow connect issue with both Canon DSLR selected and Gphoto

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
