For Clarification: Interestingly, the crash does NOT occur when running the 3.5.8 Stable release in Linux Mint native on my Thinkpad. The above crash occurs when I load the Sim profile. It contains the Telescope Simulator and CCD and Guide simulators and my Sharpstar scope and ZWO guidescope entries. This is the same setup that I have tried in the native LInux setup vs. the Virtualbox Linux install - but the crash did NOT occur on the Virtualbox install with the prior 3.5.8 beta nightly installation (but did occur with the 3.5.7 stable install) so I am now obviously angry with myself that I 'updated' to the Stable release from the beta.
No sure what to do at this point. I wanted to run KStars in LInux because I wanted to connect my devices directly to the laptop rather than having to use Stellarmate version and the WIndows version cannot run Indi and I wanted to also run Sharpcap without having to reboot to Windows from Linux. My current work-around was to use Virtualbox in Linux, load Windows into Virtualbox and then install Sharpcap into my Windows inside Virtualbox but having the ability to run KStars in Linux inside VIrtualbox would still be nice. Any suggestions are appreciated!
