Ekos wont connect to 5DMark3 with Canon or Gphoto CCD

Ekos wont connect to 5DMark3 with Canon or Gphoto CCD was created by danoz

Hi,

Hoping someone can help.
I'm trying to run Ekos with camera on Ubuntu Mate
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Release:	18.04
Codename:	bionic

I've attached a picture of what is happening. When I try to connect the camera if just says connect in yellow. There is no error log. I've tried both Gphoto and Canon DLSR options.
Now the odd thing is I can take an image capture with gphoto2, but only when I'm using root permissions.
dan@astromate-SBC-FITPC2:~/.indi$ sudo gphoto2 --capture-image-and-download
New file is in location /capt0000.jpg on the camera
File capt0000.jpg exists. Overwrite? [y|n] y
Saving file as capt0000.jpg
Deleting file /capt0000.jpg on the camera

My installs from repo are:
libgphoto2-6:
  Installed: 2.5.22+201812221909~ubuntu18.04.1
  Candidate: 2.5.22+201812221909~ubuntu18.04.1
  Version table:

gphoto2:
  Installed: 2.5.15-2
  Candidate: 2.5.15-2
  Version table:

        500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe i386 Packages

Is this possibly a permission issue with gphoto2?
I checked permissions against an install on RPi3 with astroberry and they are the same. The camera connects fine with Astroberry installation on the RPi
My gphoto2 versions are different however: Ubuntu mate versions are:

I've attached the logs from ekos.
With the connect issue I get the same yellow connect issue with both Canon DSLR selected and Gphoto

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unable to see an error; ZWO camera is working without issues and creates the required .xml profiles.

Oh I see your problem.. you're on 32bit machine... support for 32bit was dropped a while ago. You need an x86-64 bit machine, or raspberry pi 32/64 bit.

Bugger, was hoping to make use of the fitpc2 I had here. Will have to put it to some other use in that case.
Thanks for the fast assistance with this one.
Can mark this as resolved

Hi - I'm finding similar issues with connecting my Canon cameras (450D and 600D) in Ekos. I am running Kstars/Ekos/Indi on a raspberry pi 4 under Raspbian. It seems that the camera is mounted before even I start kstars. Is this still an issue with libgphoto2?

Solved the issue by editing the RPi file /home/pi/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE-pi/pcmanfm.conf setting

[volume]
mount_on_startup=0
mount_removable=0
