Hi,

I've been using ekos/indi succesfully for some weeks, using an iOptron CEM25 mount, QHY5 guider and a canon 1100D as main camera.
But suddenly yesterday the canon dslr stopped to connect with the driver as before. It is not that the camera is not connected, but it "half connects", leaving a few options available and a "yellow indicator" for the connection state, i.e.:




Even though ekos does not complain on the camera connection, this configuration does not permit any interaction with the camera.

The only lines I found in the log files from the Canon DSLR driver are these, related to the few parameters shown in the screenshots above:

The system I use to run the indi server is a netbook with Ubuntu 18.04. Funnily enough, I am able to connect the camera to another indi server I use for testing (this one is Linux Mint). So it seems that it is something only present in the ubuntu netbook, that has been changed in the last day, but I am not able to locate it, and have not found useful hints in the forums.

Has anybody found a similar problem? I would appreciate any advice on this.

BTW, many thanks and kudos to the development team for their fantastic job.
Cheers
