Hi all,
I can't seem to connect to my Orion Starshoot Autoguider from my new laptop. My device seems to be completely unrecognized by my system.
When I plug the camera to my computer (USB2), I should have a red LED on it, but it does not turn on. I have a "test" profile on Ekos, using only indi_qhy_ccd driver, and as soon as I start INDI (even before I try to connect), I get a message box saying "No QHY camera detected. Power on?".
The Ekos output looks like this:
2018-02-05T00:35:45 Unable to establish:
+ QHY CCD
Please ensure the device is connected and powered on.
2018-02-05T00:35:40 INDI services started on port 7624. Please connect devices.

Interestingly, the output of the 'lsusb' command is:
tan@bobby ~$ lsusb

Notice the empty line for Device 008? That's the autoguider, which by the way works fine on other computers.
My INDI log directory (~/.indi/logs) does not exist. My laptop (Dell XPS 13 9360) is running Arch Linux with KDE Plasma, Kstars and Ekos.
Any ideas?
