Thanks. You serial number is "MGS10578", that should be used instead of the current serial number in the rules file. Then either reboot your computer or execute "sudo udevadm control --reload".

Yes, it does not appear in the list because there is no executable for this driver, because indi-full does not provide it. I think it was...forgotten. I opened a topic on subforum "Ekos" to try to have it built.

However "dmesg" should output something different now that the rules file changed, could you check what happens when you connect the device?

Could you check if you see the MGen driver in the Driver Manager of KStars (not in Ekos)?

The Driver Manager is under KStars, menu Tools/Devices/Device Manager.

See the Ekos subforum, topic "MGen driver" for a detailed description of the problem you are experiencing.

Until the issue is fixed, and Jasem's ppa recovers from the maintenance phase, I fear there is no easy way to retrieve the driver, except by compiling it from source yourself. Let's wait a bit before moving to such extremities :)

So now if your system is Ubuntu-based, 16.04, 17.10 or 18.04 (check system settings / details or directly "cat /etc/os-release"), you should be able to update and retrieve driver "indi-mgen".

For now I don't see the virtual package "indi-full" being updated (still at 1.4~201710281604 for me), so you will need to install "indi-mgen" specifically in your package manager.

Tell me how it goes from there!

I just updated indi-full to include indi-mgen but that would be built tomorrow in the PPA.
