Hi,

I have also updated my desktop pc to see the new version, but have not tried yet with real gears. Anyway, it seems the EqMod driver update is not available in the ppa repository. I found out the INDI drivers version has been changed into 2.0.0, and old drivers might be incompatible.

Just have to wait for this update, should not be very long as it is a major issue for EqMod users.

Valentin

btw it is on Mint Ubuntu 22.04

So it is odd, because the Indi EqMod driver update is not in my list with a "apt list --upgradable", but it is actually available on the ppa . You can find it by sorting the published packages by date.

Hi

I have been getting the message below for quite a long time now and have not tried to resolve it ..


$ sudo apt update

E: The repository 'ppa.launchpadcontent.net/upubuntu-com/network/ubuntu jammy Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

So not sure what to do.

If I can get the revised EQMOD from the ppa over the net, what then?

Tks

This is the third time of attempting to post this: it doesn't seem to want to stick:

I tried anyway with this result:
sudo apt-add-repository https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/mutlaqja/ppa/ubuntu jammy main

Have others got this to work?

On the launchpad.net/~mutlaqja/+archive/ubuntu/....series_filter=jammy it seems the latest build of Eqmod driver has failed for jammy-based distributions.

And in fact, the eqmod driver latest build have failed for the 4 ubuntu distributions available in the ppa.
ubuntu 22.10.1 Kinetic
ubuntu 20.04.1 Focal
ubuntu 22.04.1 Jammy
ubuntu 23.04.1 Lunar

Which is odd - because I had it working before!

Cannot now remember where I got it from ..

My original post (#1 in this thread) was about shared library failure - will try to follow that up.

So in order to see if the library was present, I did

sudo locate libindidriver
[sudo] password for richardh:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libindidriver.so.2
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libindidriver.so.2.0.0

It isn't.

However, a search on the ubuntu packages site revealed libindidriver1, v 1.9.4

sudo apt search libindidriver1
Sorting... Done
Full Text Search... Done
libindidriver1/jammy 1.9.4+dfsg-1 amd64
Instrument-Neutral Device Interface library -- driver library

I'm reluctant to install, in case I cause more problems.

Any advice pls?

Best

And details of /usr .... /libindidriver.so.2 show that it was loaded yesterday morning during the update which caused all the issues.

Have now backed up the whole system (lesson learned).

Just to mention that EQMOD crashes in Kstars as well. Hoping for a fix soon.

Good news, the Kstars team has fixed the build failure and EqMod driver is available now with apt get update. I won't be able to test it with my mount in the next days but it should work now.
Give a try now and tell us if it is fixed
