On both my Intel NUC 11 Essential and my BeeLink U59 I had numerous display issues (and even becoming non-responsive) with StellarMate X OS.

Once I disabled the Compositor under the Display and Monitor in System Settings I have no longer seen this issue.
I don't think this is enabled on the RPi version of StellarMate (haven't used it in a few months).

Thanks, Mattia.

This issue has come back to rear its ugly head again.

I had gotten disgusted with my GPS dongle and have removed it from the system. Only to find that /dev/ttyUSB0 still disappears from the /dev/ directory listing only to find /dev/ttyUSB1 appearing in its place, even without the dongle.

I am attaching a file containing dmesg output. Perhaps it will suggest something,

I would call your attention to lines 567-580, Maybe you can help me understand what they mean.

After getting a new Raspberry Pi5 (running Astroarch), working through and solving flaky WiFi issues, flaky cable issues, I now find myself finally able to use KStars and Ekos again.

But I am immediately met with errors on my ZWO ASI533MC PRO and ZWO EAF devices. I don't know how to solve any of them.

The devices connect in EKos, but quickly develop errors that prevent anything useful from being done. I am enclosing some INDI driver logs in the hope that someone can help me understand them. Besides the question of the specific errors in the logs, I am thinking there may be a more global problem with my Pi5. Why should all these devices be failing at the same time?

Hello,
From yesterday to today, the Control mount icon has moved from Ekos to Sky screen.
I can't figure out the interest of this - I would rather consider this a problem, as it is not possible anymore to monitor the target while trying to center it.
Where it was until yesterday :

Agreed I seem to have a more general problem. When I went to get things set up after dark using the 'new' profile the limit issue had returned along with others that ended the session.

Will do !!

As best I can tell, the limits are not stored with the profile. When I make a change, it appears in all profiles. It does seem like it should be per profile, but I guess not.

I can see how that would be annoying. I would make it easier to find support requests, I just do not know if there is enough interest in this specific topic to support a new category.

Thanks Bill,

Made me define a new profile with the same devices. The same unwanted values showed up but now changes are retained. Don't know what it means but guess I'll go ahead and customize that profile instead of my usual one.

Looks like that fixed it. Thanks, Jasem!!!!

Jean-Luc, it sounds like you've got this sorted but I've attached screenshots of my set up for opticat trains and guiding just FYI. I think this is the similar to what Bill was describing.

Good luck!
Fred

FWIW: I'm not seeing that problem on the Mac version of KStars/Ekos. I've changed the values several times and it is always remembered next time I start up.

Hi can this camera be controlled via stellarmate? Thanks

That's fine, I wonder why I had set it to Mount once, probably a misclick while trying to adjust something else.
Thank-you for helping.

Probably because it give you ability to run automatic tests where you can set predetermined date and time and run some sequence.

That could be handled in Ekos (I imagine) by allowing an offset from system time, or to stop it.
