I was running the simulator last night with VNC to my raspberry pi to get familiar with doing mosaics.
Everything was function normal. At some point I decided to open the stellarmate app on my phone and check for updates. Stellarmate updated and after rebooting the rpi, after launching ekos via the dome icon in Kstars, I can no longer view Kstars. When I click on the open Kstars tab at the top, it just shows ekos. If I launch Kstars again it isn't connected to ekos.

Another thing that could be the issue is that I had unchecked the twilight box in order for the simulator to run instead of it waiting for sunset. It did show a warning about that after relaunching Kstars when the stellarmate updated had completed

Sorry of this is something simple or already covered here. I couldn't find anything from the search and I'm pretty new to all of this. Just started astrophotography in August.

I am at work now so I don't have access to any logs atm but will try to provide those later if needed .
Hopefully this is something simple, but it could be related to the 1.7 9 update
