SUMMARY
***
Sometimes impossible to start a device driver manually where it works using Ekos.
Once it has been started wia Ekos then the manual start via Tools->Devices->Devicemanager menu works again.
So far It happens sometimes after a rebuild from git.
***

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. start Kstars
2. start a device driver (eg. a telescope) via Tools->Devices->Devicemanager menu
3. device does not start
4. Exit Kstars
5. Kill manually indiserver
6. Restart Kstars
7. retry step 2

OBSERVED RESULT
When starting a device driver via Tools->Devices->Devicemanager menu
- the indi control panel does not pop up
- indiserver is started but not the device driver
- When I quit Kstars indiserver is still running
- I then have to kill manually indiserver

EXPECTED RESULT
When starting a device driver via Tools->Devices->Devicemanager menu
- the indi control panel should pop up
- indiserver and device driver should be started
