Hi!

Where are the device profiles and Ekos profiles that I set up, stored? I'm doing backups of my Stellarmate (my SD-cards frequently fails...) and thought I should preserve these separately so as to facilitate new re-installations on new SD-cards.

So: where do I find them on the Stellarmate?

Magnus

INDI profiles are in the .indi directory in your home directory.
KStars files are in the .local/share/kstars directory in your home directory.

Please note that file managers on Linux usually hide directories and files starting with a . (dot) so you may need to change that in the file manager settings or use a terminal.


HTH, Wouter

To be precise, the profiles are stored in .local/share/kstars/userdb.sqlite

You’re right! The INDI driver options are in the .indi directory.

The StellarMate tools "backup" also backs these files for you.

Ah. Where to I find this tool?

Magnus

It's on the StellarMate Desktop. It's called "StellarMate Tools".

Obviously. I was going through the menus and the Stellarmate website... and there it was, right before my eyes.
Thanks!

While being at this - these quite frequent faillures, where the R-Pi goes into panic mode - any ide what causes that? And my SD cards seems to fail, so that I cannot write a new disk image on them (that is, Disc utility in Ubuntu reports IO-failure when trying to restore a disk image).

How about using a new SD card? 32GB+ is best.

Btw, I am testing now StellarMate OS v1.4.0, would like you try give that a go? It's still in beta though.

Hi!

Yes, I'm using new cards, but they seem to become corrupted quite quickly, that's the problem. I wonder if I'm doing something bad to them...

And yes, I'd be happy to try!

Ok, please come to Google chat, I'll send you the link there.
