Hi guys!

I need help please!

My laptop is running Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS (Focal Fossa). I started installing EKOS Kstars as written in the instructions on the official website:

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

But the installation failed with an error:
Errors were encountered while processing:
indi-gphoto
indi-full

How to remediate this?

Hi!
To do this, you need to select your city in the KStars settings. To do this, run the initial Startup Wizard

Settings --> Startup Wizard.....

After you select your city, the DashBoard will display the correct information.

Yes, it's interesting to try and test. Luckily you don't have to wait for good weather to do it. You can simply run EKOS Kstars at home and connect SA to it and try to control the motion of the RA axis with the GOTO command

Too bad. I tried circuit number 2 to connect my Ioptron SGP. There are no miracles. It is not possible to control the RA axis unfortunately

Greetings!
Interesting solution to connect SA to RPi4 using USB. I need to try it too. I have a similar designed ioptron SGP astrotracker.
I wonder if this combination of connection allows you to control the mount on the RA axis via EKOS Kstars?

I am having exactly the same problem. And I don't know how to fix it either
