I think I've got an solution.

If I install netpbm-sf from sourceforge then the problem is solved. netpbm-sf depends of libtiff4, and on my system (xubuntu 15.04) libtiff5 is installed. When I install libfiff4 from ubuntu rep (13.04), then I can solve.

Hello,

I also can not solve any images. As you say Jensen, I install libtiff4 but without success.

I try to solve with the Online et Offline solver. No one solve. I install a lot of Astrometry index ... but nothing want to do ...

I work with a computer under Kubuntu 15.04, and the last version of Kstars from the PPA.

It's failing due to crash or it just fails to solve?

hello,

In fact I have both problems.

On my desktop PC, with Kubuntu 15.04, I install a lot of index, the solve fail. Online or Offline. On this pc, I try to solve an image take with ekos on my observatory pc, by "load an slew" with the simulator on the CCD and the Telescope.

On my observatory PC, with Ubuntu Mate 15.04, with index 4205, 4206 and 4207, it crash.

Is there any log that can be useful .?

If you need any other informations, I am here

If you turn on "Verbose" checkbox in Ekos, it would display the details. If you're using the CCD simulator, you need to perform autofocus first (it starts unfocused) before you perform any alignment. If that doesn't solve it, post a link to the FITS image and the solver options used to solve it.

On my Desktop PC, I install GSC and with the simulator the offline solving work.

But Load And Slew, don't work with my image.

if the image can help you. The only thing a little strange is the fit header for coordonates ... PixInsight don't understand it too.

for the verbose ... it looks like that

2015-10-11T11:32:18 Field 1 did not solve (index index-4207-02.fits, field objects 101-110).
2015-10-11T11:31:52 Field 1 did not solve (index index-4207-06.fits, field objects 101-110).
2015-10-11T11:31:43 Field 1 did not solve (index index-4208.fits, field objects 101-110).

I was able to solve your image using solve-field. I think the problem is that it was using the solver arguments you see in the solver options and those might include current mount RA/DEC which would make it fail. I'm going to make it inspect the image FITS header upon using Load&Slew and build the argument list accordingly. Hopefully by tomorrow I can make those changes.

Ok I just committed the changes. It took 1.5 minutes to solve your image. I think it would be a lot faster if we knew the field of view, and this is why I added FOCALLEN keyword to the FITS header in INDI::CCD so that the field of view can be calculated. So now any future images you take will have the telescope focal length in it and this will make Load&Slew quite fast.

hello,

Thank's for your great job.

But for the moment, after updating Kstars, solving fail again.

options are next :
--no-verify --no-plots --no-fits2fits --resort --downsample 2 -O -L 33.6527 -H 46.4939 -u aw

I am wiring my observatory PC to make some test ...

hello,

Sorry, but I always have some trouble with plate solving. On my observatory computer, I perform an all new installation of Kubuntu 15.10, with kstars-bleeding and lots of index for astrometry.

But when I try to sync my mount by astrometry. I can see this on the logs
2015-10-31T20:48:16 Solver failed. Try again.

After looking at a lot of post about plate solving, I take a look at the version of Astrometry.net. I install it by the ppa. And when a make a apt update all is up to date, but when I make a dpkg -l astrometry.net I got this
Souhait=inconnU/Installé/suppRimé/Purgé/H=à garder

I am surprise by the version ... is it normal, I am not really award with linux, and I don't know if I did something wrong ...

I hope make this working a day.
