Gerrrrr! I'm about to shoot my mount or something. I uninstalled Kstars and did a test with just the stable version of KStars 2.9.4 installed and it worked correctly. Then I installed INDI-Full, added the rest of my devices and now it is doing the same thing, Connect to the mount and Kstars thinks it is pointing below the horizon. If I sync Losmandy on Polaris and do a slew it slews but doesn't update in KStars (2.9.4 still)and goes back to pointing below horizon after disconnect/reconnect.

I uninstalled indi-full and it still doesn't work correctly. I'm going to try to uninstall everything again and see if I can see where everything goes wrong. This is so strange because everything worked great for several weeks.

Here are the logs:

Uninstalled KStars/INDI and deleted all of the config files and directories I could find. Installed Kstars 2.9.4 from the Ubuntu app store and mount control is working correctly again. Now I'm going to figure out how to install just the INDI modules for my QHY and ASI cameras without installing INDI-Full. Do you know how often KStars gets updated on the Ubuntu app store?

Maybe this will help narrow down the issue? After opening testing and closing KStars several times and Gemini working correctly I installed this and started getting the errors in the logs again.

Installed this: sudo apt-get install libindi1 indi-bin

And started getting this in the logs again:

Ok, here is a test you can do to narrow this issue down. Install indi-bin from Ubuntu store, then run the mount logging. Then do the same with indi-full from the PPA. We can then compare the difference and find where the problem occurs.

Having issues getting it to work again but attached are the logs with it failing. I must be missing an uninstall or configuration file(s) someplace. I'll keep working on it. Let me know if you need a different log file.

Actually I found the issue. Please try again later tonight with INDI Nightly. Or if you can compile from GIT, you can try now.

Good news; This error is gone now- 2018-07-31T14:13:19: [WARNING] Could not process mount date and time: 07/31/18#T

Still getting this error- 2018-07-31T14:13:24: [ERROR] Error setting local date.

After connecting the scope still doesn't point at polaris. On the Site Management tab, the UTC can't be set and is Red not Green.

Thanks for your help getting this resolved!

Here are the logs. I was wrong before. Looks like I am still getting both the error and the Warning. See attached.

I did a sudo apt-get update/upgrade and it updated 3 kstars packages and I still have the same issue. Is a Git pull different?

Yes! I presumed you were compiling from source? If not, then you need to wait for the next PPA update tomorrow (in ~16 hours).
