Hi Guys,

I get my Sony A7S connected to KStars but the setup frequently behaves badly. Let's focus on one problem at the time: saving an image.

I just moved from macOS to Ubuntu hoping I could follow new developments more closely. I installed using the recommended setup:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mutlaqja/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indi-full kstars-bleeding


Possible issues
- How critical is a good USB cable? How to know if this could be the issue. I have about 10 cables but only one of them seems to connect.
- Newer driver from Gphoto2 needed still? How to install?

I attach my workflow and the logs I was able to find. Please let me know if other info could be useful! It's vacation time now so I have some time to tinker with this.

Best regards,
Jurgen
