hi!
i have here controller that can either start an INDI server of it's own, or can be accessed with INDI via TCP/IP or serial.
whenever I connect the LX200 Basic client to my mount controller, KStars crashes with a massive segfault, but the INDI server survives. when startting KStars again, I can connect to the running INDI server and all is fine. Other INDI clients like stellarium do not show this behaviour.

could that be a bug in LX200 Basic???

here is my log ...

Hello!
I tried to track down the problem - the crash is on KStars, the indiserver carries on. the last packet i see from kstars being sent to the indiserver is
<setNumberVector device="LX200 Basic" name="EQUATORIAL_EOD_COORD" state="Idle" timeout="60" timestamp="2022-06-28T19:36:27">
<oneNumber name="RA">
15.10083333333333222
</oneNumber>
<oneNumber name="DEC">
-41.799999999999997158
</oneNumber>
</setNumberVector>

the a segfault happens to kstars. a subsequent boot of kstars shows that LX200 is connected and all is fine ...
does anyone have an ide what is going on here?

ok, seems to be an ubuntu problem. lx200 works with windows and astroberry ... any idea out there?
