what I'm doing wrong, some bad steps ?

I see the problem.
Maybe I put a wrong kernel version as a borderline between the new and old API. I will fix it and let you know.

By the way you are not using Ubuntu stock kernel, are you?

Rumen

I committed a fix, i hope it will work for Linux 4.8... I hope Jasem will pull it soon
Please try it and report if the problem is still there or not. If it is I will investigate further...

By the way you are not using Ubuntu stock kernel, are you?

I just simply download UBUNTU LTS and install it from usb pen drive - previuos I've downloaded "Astro Ubuntu" with Kstars build in - -but complete disaster with that
so will find how to check kernel ver and post here ASAP

but first of all - Thanks for help

Why are you updating to 4.10? The idea was to make it work with 4.8

no problem
few clicks and there be back fresh ubuntu

Just a reboot and on glub screen select 4.8

Created new pull request, I did not pay attention that API changed twice once in 4.6 and once in 4.9... not it should work.

Please let me know if it works or not for 4.8, once jasem merges the change.
