Since the current release on QHY SDK page is 21.10.12 vs 21.10.26 with indilib 1.9.3 I tried installing that - didn't help. Also since installing 1.9.3 the new kstars 3.5.6 also updated again QHY and ASI drivers not working.

Log file attached.  It looks like it isn't possible to rollback to 1.9.2 easily since only 1.9.3 is available in the ppa for ubuntu 20.04?

Update still in progress, not all packages done. Give it 2 hours

Updated QHY and ASI drivers now working, Thanks.

Which packages were updated?

I have maybe a similar issue. I’m running Kstars 3.5.6 (stable) with indilib 1.9.3 (compiled from source just two hours ago) on Ubuntu 21.04. I just bought a QHY5L II C guide camera and want to test. Kstars has no problem in seeing the camera but if I move to live view I got the message indi_qhy_ccd crashed. The same thing happens after taking one 1s shot. I then tried with test_ccd_qhy but got segmentation fault, while if I run test_video_qhy I got no error.

Suggestions?

Here what I got from qhy_ccd_test

as far as what was updated… a bunch - qhyccd and asiccd for sure but when I updated almost all the drivers seemed to be renewed.

I should have been more clear. With the various distro’s, version numbers can be hard to track. The versions of the various pieces worked with the last official release of Astroberry. Any upgrades do not. 

I’ve now just installed the new Raspbian OS, and am building KStars and related components from source. The behavior is the same. The current head version of libqhy & indi_qhy still exhibit this behavior. I can see the camera is on the USB bus, but is not detected. And neither of these components have been updated in the last two weeks. 

Tomorrow I’ll dig into the source to see if I can figure out what is happening. 

Out of curiosity... This thread is in Astroberry subforum, so where did you guys get INDI 1.9.3 from? I have not released it for Astroberry.

I started with the Astroberry 2.0.3 image. This worked until I did the apt upgrade. The first upgrade broke eqmod, ZWO camera, and QHY camera (missing symbol crashes). Subsequent apt upgrades resolved the issues of missing symbols. But the QHY was still not detected. 

So I installed github.com/JerryBlack/buildKstarsNightlyFromGit which builds from git repo’s. So I not installing specific versions. 

But, I now know the issue isn’t Astroberry specific. So the thread should either be moved or closed here an restarted elsewhere. 

I think I've found the issue; it seems to now work for me.  But it it camera type specific.  See my bug report.

I posted there what happened and why it's no longer working
