Thanks, I originally installed latest stable from the instructions at indilib.org/get-indi/download-ubuntu.html which gave me kstars 3.4.1. This morning I've used kstars-bleeding and now have 3.4.3

I launch kstars, goto tools -> devices and then run service on the ZWO CCD option. In the log window I get this;

When I launch the INDI control panel I see a tab for ZWO CCX xU, the driver is listed as exec indi_asi_ccd version 7 interface 6

When I click on connect, I get;
2020-08-03T16:32:57: [ERROR] Error connecting to the CCD (16)

FWIW the ASI462MC is the latest camera from ZWO, but it's working fine with Firecapture etc which hasn't made any special consideration for it, so I don't think it's that.

Is there a command line way I can try any tests of the camera?
