I've been using Indi via Ekos/Kstars on Fedora for a while now, and have generally be able to troubleshoot by reading this forum, but I've hit two issues today that I'm having trouble resolving. I recently picked up a QHY-268M, and an Atik EFW 2.2, but can't get either of them to work. Both devices seem to connect and function fine on Windows using software from the manufacturers.
Device/Software Info:
Machine: Fedora 33 64 bit
Indi: built from source, latest (8cb8dd5ce88be)
Kstars: built from source, latest (3d1d568d894)
Indi-3rdparty components: built from source, latest (60009a959bdd)
The devices were each connected to the computer in turn with nothing else attached, and used in a profile in Ekos with simulators for all other devices. Subsequently, I've investigated them using the indiserver -v command. Both devices display via the "lsusb" command:
Atik:
Bus 001 Device 024: ID 04d8:003f Microchip Technology, Inc. Filter Wheel 2
QHY:
Bus 001 Device 023: ID 1618:c268 Cypress WestBridge
Problem 1: Atik EFW2.2
I've installed libatik and indi-atik, but the driver in ekos crashes. When I run indiserver -v, I get the following result:
bash-5.0$ indiserver -v indi_atik_wheel

Some other topics on this forum seemed to indicate that I should get the Atik software from cloudmakers, but it seems older (and requires an antiquated version of libnova and won't install by default).
Problem 2: QHY268M
Despite everything seeming to install correctly, the camera doesn't seem to be detected at all. Running qhy_ccd_test, I get:

No QHYCCD camera found, please check USB or power.
Has anyone experienced either of these issues, or know what else I should try? Any help is greatly appreciated.
