4 frames supposedly taken with a 14 arcsecong guiding error

I am seeing guiding errors on Ubuntu 22.4.1 / kstars 3.6.2 / StellarMate, but works on mid 2011 iMac High Sierra / kstars 3.5.7 /Stellarmate

***

I have been using KStars since 2017, but a new issue has emerged as I have changed from using my remote StellarMate with RPi 4b-4G controller to using a dualBoot PC on Linux for my controller The latest KStars is giving me grief as my guiding is showing plus 6 to minus 6 arcseconds guide error, but it is not apparent in my photo. 
with the same server and mount config, I switch to my iMac running KStars version 3.5.7 as a controller, and all runs well.

Can I access a linux copy of 3.5.7 for ubuntu until I can resolve other local issues that are not related to KStars as we have 4 clear nights ahead?

These are for info only:
e.g. I can't dual boot with Kubuntu, as it says I have system naming issues
e.g. I take 3-4 hours per setup as my configuration all resets to default with any error while using 3.6.2 on linux, but it works perfectly on iMac using 3.5.7

Please help me if I can get an earlier Linux version

Thanks

Len

Mac OS +Ver 3.5.7 is guiding at under 0.60 RMS
Linux ver 3.6.2 is guiding above 4.00 RMS
