Many PC with Linux pre-installed are sold in the US, a lot more than where I live.

You're still talking about the terminal, but any desktop Linux distribution needs as much of it as windows or Mac, no more no less. But looks like I'm falling on deaf ears.

You can continue bashing the terminal, but looks like you don't know much about the IT industry (as you said), since most of the people that works with computers in a mildly serious manner use the terminal a lot. Even Windows applications are built using the terminal and through terminal "voodoos". Maybe you don't see it, but most servers in the world run a server distribution of Linux, where there is only the terminal. The terminal is anything but "surpassed", not by a long shot; there will be never a time where you will be ditching the command line altogether.

You can continue using Windows without the terminal, I will continue to use both Linux and Windows with it, doing less work to do what I need to do and having the best from both worlds.

Cheers,
Edoardo

That's because the CCD setting update the indi driver too. I think that the setting in CCD is just a "shortcut" to setting the indi driver. In the end the indi driver it's the one doing the job when you ask to take a shot.

Yes, "Clear Row" delete the first row and the attached file. At least it does eliminate the file that correspond to the row eliminated whilst eliminating the wrong row.

Hi Alfred,
thank you for the heads up, I forgot to mention that too. I can confirm that for dark creation the offset set in the indi driver is the one used; offset should be a setting in the dark library menu.

I forgot to mention that yesterday I've opened two bugs directly in bugs.kde.org with all the needed details:

• Clear Row Bug
• Clear All Bug

If I have to put my 2 cents, I prefer a little of voodoo than spending hours researching all the needed drivers in ASCOM and Windows.
There is also another thing in favor of linux: no matter which flavor you run, it's a lot less demanding than any version of Windows. On small PCs it makes a lot of difference! And remember that you can try with a VM before installing it on a real machine.

In the end it's as easy as:

• Install Ubuntu LTS (it's like installing Windows, but easier and faster)
• Run the terminal one time
• Paste three commands

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mutlaqja/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indi-full gsc kstars-bleeding

• Profit

1. Follow this guide to install the ppa: Ubuntu add PPA (you need to add ppa:mutlaqja/ppa)
2. Follow this guide to install indi and kstars: Ubuntu software center (you need to install indi-full, gsc and kstars-bleeding)

1. Install Windows (it's like installing Ubuntu, not as easier)
2. Start searching the main camera driver
3. Install the driver
4. Start searching the guide camera driver (if different)
5. Install the driver
6. Start searching the mount drivers
7. Install the driver
8. Repeat for all the drivers needed
9. Install a planetarium (not needed but nice to have)
10. Install N.I.N.A. | APT | your software of choice
11. Pray you don't have any problem or conflict or forgoot something

• Open terminal
• Run a single line of command

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

• Open the software center
• Follow again this guide: www.tutorialspoint.com/ubuntu/ubuntu_software_center.htm Ubuntu Software Center at the Updates section (it's just 2 clicks to update everything)

Hi,
I'm creating a new dark library to use during focus and alignment processes.
Everything work as intended, but if I try to delete a specific row, ekos always delete the first row.

To delete a row I do this:

1. Double click on the row to delete
2. Click on "Clear Row"
