Greetings,

Last night I set up to run around the sky, and as always, started by making sure my focus was on. The initial image loads okay, but as soon as it is ready for user input, any input seems to crash the module and kstars. I attached the log, as I was able to reproduce it again today. It always gets to the state User Input, and the next move causes the crash. Running from the command line shows it is a seg fault. I am running the latest .rpm bleeding packages.

Also, unrelated, the time is updated every second from the GPS. Is this by design?

Thanks!

The same is happening to me using V4L2 Webcam and Focus simulator.
As soon as I increase exposure and select a different field, for example, the ccd detector, it crashes Kstars, where's the gdb debug:

Attached I send the Kstars log:

Same type of issues here also....Last night Kstars was crashing every time and was unusable, after adjusting things in the Focus tab....Kstars bleeding was fully updated....
Kernel-Linux 4.4.0-96-generic (x86_64)....
Distribution-Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS....
I have attached the last log file....

Also this from gdb:

Thread 1 "kstars" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000555555875ac8 in Ekos::FilterManager::setFilterExposure(double) ()

looks like there was a commit to master about the time I posted the FilterManager SIGSEGV that said: Do not call filter manager if there are no filters doh

Now if I could trigger the package build....

I built another PPA this morning, did you guys get it?

Not yet, tonight I will test again.

Grabbing the new RPMs. Will test tonight.

Well I have just updated and tested and it seems fixed, no problem at all. Thanks!
Let's see for other reports.

That did it. Everything that crashed works again.
