When I start Kstars an error box with the statement "Python process that updates the supernova information failed with error code 1" comes up. If I click on that box, KStars appears to start normally, but when I go into the device manager, nothing shows up, even though I have an ST-i camera connected. KStars did work with this device before, but now does not. Under Ekos, the ST-i likewise does not show up. Does this mean that the error prevents KStars from loading completely? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start KStars 2. Click on error box that always comes up (whether or not ST-i is connected) 3. No devices show up in Device manager. Expected Results: Well, I expect that KStars would show the ST-i as a device, and allow me to "run the service". It doesn't. I know that it looks like I am reporting two bugs (the error box, and no ST-i connection), but as I mentioned before, with an earlier version of KStars I did connect with the ST-i and actually took images with Ekos. I do have the indi drivers installed, and they are regularly updated (seems they are updated everyday). The ST-i is recognized when it connects, with the following output from dmesg: [ 8144.376764] usb 1-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 6 using ehci-pci [ 8146.977042] usb 1-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 7 using ehci-pci [ 8147.069734] usb 1-1.2: config 1 interface 0 altsetting 0 bulk endpoint 0x81 has invalid maxpacket 64 [ 8147.069743] usb 1-1.2: config 1 interface 0 altsetting 0 bulk endpoint 0x1 has invalid maxpacket 64 [ 8147.070414] usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=0d97, idProduct=0102 [ 8147.070419] usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ 8147.070423] usb 1-1.2: Product: USBI-CAM Engine [ 8147.070427] usb 1-1.2: Manufacturer: SBIG
The error is not related at all to Ekos/INDI. You're using Mint, and INDI now only offers 3rd party drivers for Ubuntu 15.10+, but Mint is based on 14.04 so it is out of date. You can compile the indi-sbig driver yourself, or use a more recent distribution like Kubuntu 16.04
