Hello,
Is there a way to transfer INDI/Ekos configs/settings from an older Stellarmate to a fresh install?
Save
/home/stellarmate/.indi and
/home/stellarmate/.local/share/kstars
and transfer to the new install?
Will that work?
Thanks!

Use StellarMate Tools application on the desktop to do backup/restore.

You can also save the directories you indicated above and restore them on the new machine. These are the most important ones.

Jasem - thanks!
Where the Tools place the backup?
Nevermind... Just did it. It's in /home/stellarmate

My mistake earlier. When I added my own local home wi-fi, I didn't enter a DNS server entry in that new network connection. Having added a DNS server entry in the IP4 Settings pane, I now get internet connectivity repeatedly after reboots. The Control Center-> Network Settings reflect this DNS entry (as expected).

A follow up question though. This is on a RPi 3B+ so I have 5Ghz wi-fi available, so I was hoping to increase my performance (at the cost of distance). I have tried to duplicate the Stellarmate hot spot to create a new 5G hot spot. So far, with limited testing I haven't got this to work. Should this be possible? Does the connection priority numbering have an effect on Hot Spots?

Thanks

As a new user of StellarMate OS I have to ask, because it's unclear to me on how I may Update to the 1.4 Release...

My Product -> Orders shows just one item: SM-101.

StellarMate OS
Download Info:
Number downloaded: 1
Download Limit: 10
Download Ends: Unlimited
Download

There is no 2nd download link or something alike to select the new release. It's just the same link to the release, I've already downloaded.

Are I'me expected o redownload that very same "file" and is the new version available at that URL?


I'm puzzled

You just click on the same link, If you place your mouse above it, you can see the OS version in the url - usually in the bottom left corner.

What I've done is, click the link and see if it's the same version as I have. If it is, I click cancel. BTW, I hope that 10 download limit is not a definite number especially as we try/test new versions ;)

DO NOT DO this... I just did it and realized that your count of allowed download increases, even if you don't actually download it.

OK. Flashed 1.4. Restored my KStars/Ekos configs.
All seems to be working except one thing that I noticed so far:
My mount shown as disconnected in Ekos.
Mount: SW AZ-Gti (EQMod).
Connection is over WiFi (AZ-GTi is in Station mode).
Looks like the mount cannot connect to SM's hotspot.
Or something is not right with the driver?
SM's hotspot is active and I can VNC to it.
Mount works fine in SM 1.3.1 with latest updates.

Any idea?
Thanks!

Is there a way to upgrade to 1.4.1 without going through the whole imaging process? I see the small updates that you can do in the Raspberry Pi main desktop has your updates of course, but the SM Tools still shows the 1.4.0 version.

I'm hoping to get a new "INDI driver indi_canon_ccd" soon. That thing crashes on mine once or twice a session.

I updated to 1.4.1 OS and now for some reason VNC isn't working with Safari on my MacBook. It works for Firefox and it works on Safari on my iPad but not on my MacBook. I get "NoVNC encountered an error: Script Error". Any ideas as to where I should be looking to find the problem?

Not yet, but we're working on adding OS-level updater to StellarMate so you don't need to reimage anymore. INDI/Ekos can already be updated via the software updater, but we need another system for the rest of the core OS updates.

Try to clear cache or force a refresh.

Hello Jasem.

I have installed StellarMate v1.4.1, the IOS app for my iPad 3. I am able to connect and start ekos. The only thing that doesn't work for me is the VNC connection through StellarMate. All I see is a startup up popup I believe but no desktop.
If I launch a VNC session outside SM it works. I have tried the hotspot connection and local lan connection.

Have you seen this before?

Thanks

John
