Hi!
Thank you for the efforts! I am currently running Ubuntu mate 16.04 on my RPi and it also did not work when I used raspbian earlier.
Here is how I start the capture process:
indiserver -p 7626 -v indi_dsi_ccd &>/home/pi/dsiindi.log &
(while true; do /home/pi/captureDSI2.sh >>/home/pi/DSI.log 2>&1; sleep 2s; done) &
Here is the capture script (captureDSI2.sh):
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/pi/DSI
date
port=7626
DefaultExp=1
Exp=${1:-$DefaultExp}
echo $Exp
rm DSI_IMAGE_*.fits
indi_setprop -p $port "DSI.CONNECTION.CONNECT=On"
indi_setprop -p $port "DSI.GAIN.GAIN=10"
indi_setprop -p $port "DSI.OFFSET.OFFSET=0"
indi_setprop -p $port "DSI.UPLOAD_SETTINGS.UPLOAD_DIR=/home/pi/DSI"
indi_setprop -p $port "DSI.UPLOAD_SETTINGS.UPLOAD_PREFIX=DSI_IMAGE_XXX"
indi_setprop -p $port "DSI.UPLOAD_MODE.UPLOAD_LOCAL=On"
indi_setprop -p $port "DSI.UPLOAD_MODE.UPLOAD_CLIENT=Off"
indi_setprop -p $port "DSI.CCD_COMPRESSION.CCD_COMPRESS=Off"
indi_setprop -p $port "DSI.CCD_COMPRESSION.CCD_RAW=On"
indi_setprop -p $port "DSI.CCD_EXPOSURE.CCD_EXPOSURE_VALUE=$Exp"
for i in $(seq 1 1000); do
if [ "$(indi_getprop -p $port DSI.CCD_EXPOSURE.CCD_EXPOSURE_VALUE 2>/dev/null | cut -d '=' -f 2)" == "0" ]; then
break
fi
sleep 0.25s
done
sleep 0.5s
if ! [ -f DSI_IMAGE_001.fits ]; then
echo Nothing captured...
exit
fi
title=""
subtitle=$(date)

and here is the first and last part of the log from the run:

The last image I find was at 08:38, after this I see no new fits files and indi is still running:
pi@Observatory:~$ ps xavf | grep dsi
22148 pts/4 S+ 0:00 0 128 4115 592 0.0 \_ grep --color=auto dsi

25375 ? Rl 3:14 0 99 55120 40196 4.2 \_ indi_dsi_ccd
Could it be a hardware fault if you can not reproduce this at all?
