Guiding - Calibration failing

Hi all, I am fresh starting with astrophotography and I am facing an issue that I can't get fixed. Every time a want to start the guiding the calibration fails with the message "RA drift reverse failed". I can see in the calibration plot the green dots in a line, but the white dots are continuing this line and not reverting. After 20 attempts it fails. I am using an EQ5 Pro mount which is connected via USB to my laptop which runs Ubuntu with Kstars. The behavior stays the same with ST4 cable. The GoTo function works fine, I can use it directly from Kstars. Manual movement from the Mount tab in EKOS works also. Someone any suggestions, or had someone the same issue with this mount ?
Is there a way to set logging to Debug for guiding ?

If more information is needed just let me know.
Thanks in advance.
