Brand new install of Kstars bleeding and Indi Full as per instructions online. Kstars runs fine but Ekos has no sim profile and when created will not save. Is this a permissions issue, if so why can I no establish this (No error). Have no clue where to look as all documentation and tutorials assume everything works, so when it doesn't there is nothing to refer to.

Then check permissions in ~/.local/share/kstars

If it's OK, try to delete ~/.local/share/kstars/userdb.sqlite but you will lose all existing profiles.

Hi, checked permissions for ~/.local/share/kstars and was 775 so assumed this correct. Deleted userdb.sqlite and this triggered the set-up wizard which has now set things correctly.
I recall previous installs required the GSC for the simulators bt cannot see any info for this now. Is it still needed as a capture has only noise, no starts. If so can you point me to the instructions.

Many thanks so far for the prompt response.

GSC isn't related to this. But at any rate, you can install it via:
sudo apt-get install gsc

Thanks I appreciate its not related directly to the subject, but it is another thing that I, as a new(ish) user does not know, and is not documented in the install section of download on the Indi site.It would seem that you find by failure which is a very time consuming and frustrating approach to software installation.

Horus is right, I remember stumbling over a missing GSC, too. It should be mentioned in the install docs.
