Aberration inspector keeps crashing on Rpi4.

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 with 8Gb RAM, which should be plenty for kstars/ekos, but I find the aberration inspector crashing ekos everytime. It does the AF run, then it just dies. No warning, nothing in the logs.

How can I produce a debug log to submit a bug report?

Setup:
- Raspberry Pi 4 64bits, 8Gb RAM
- Sandisk Extreme 64Gb card
- Raspberry Pi OS (Bookworm)
- Kstars 3.6.9 built from source using script from gitea.nouspiro.space/nou/astro-soft-build.git
- Indi 2.0.6
- Drivers: iOptron iEQ45 (Zeq45); Altair CCD; Pegasus Focus Cube; Pegasus Pocker Power Advance; Starlight Xpress

Steps to reproduce:
- Open kstars, start indi;
- go straight to focus tab, enable mosaic mask (leave default settings), run aberration inspector.

Hi Nelson,

Can you try to start KStars from terminal like this: XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 kstars
I'm a bit curious if starting kstars this way will work..

It seems to have done the trick. Can you please explain why that would help?

That's some good news :)
I stumbled over this issue using my RPi5 running Ubuntu 23.10, it seems that there is something in QT that's not really compatible with Wayland yet as a window manager, so starting up kstars that way will use XWayland which is a kind of "bridge" between X and Wayland, I hope that explains a little anyway.

Thank you for the test, I'm sure it will help others too.
