Hi Jasem, I'm no programmer so I doubt what I did to implement this is the right way but the two files I changed as follows...
/ekos/capture/capture.h
public slots:
Q_SCRIPTABLE Q_NOREPLY void pause(); // changed this line
Q_SCRIPTABLE Q_NOREPLY void toggleSequence(); // added this line
private slots:
// removed this line void toggleSequence();
org.kde.kstars.Ekos.Capture.xml
// added these lines
<method name="pause">
<annotation name="org.freedesktop.DBus.Method.NoReply" value="true"/>
</method>
<method name="toggleSequence">
<annotation name="org.freedesktop.DBus.Method.NoReply" value="true"/>
</method>

Hi Jasem, I'm using Ekos DBUS script to control the image capture Start/Stop function of the Capture module. The ability to Pause the capture queue is available from the GUI but is not supported by DBUS scripting. I have made small changes to the Kstars source files and recompiled to provide this function but it would be nice if 'Pause capture' could be supported by Ekos DBUS scripts in future Kstars releases.
Regards.

Thank Yo Kaczorek, I was running pyindi-client 0.2.3 after upgrading to 0.2.4 mqtt broadcast installs and runs as expected. Thanks again.

Hi, I'm running Indi server with Ubuntu 18.04 on a desktop PC. When I run sudo dpkg -i indi-mqtt_1.0.1_all.deb I get the following output ...

I've also tried installing as per the instructions above provided by Kaczorek but I get the same error when run manually.
Any ideas please?

Strange. I can confirn that Align tab and EQMOD driver is now working for me under windows 8.1. I'm using Kstars Build: 2019-12-06T17:21:51Z

Hi Jasem, A quick test of the latest Kstars nightly build (3.3.9) using simulators only suggest my problem of Kstars crashing when selecting the 'Align' module looks to be fixed. Will do more testing when the sky's clear but for now many thanks.

Another update. I have found that if I delete the file 'kstarsrc' and run Kstars if goes through the initial setup of kstars again and I can use the align tab again once only, 2nd and further attempts crash kstars. In these first attempts I have verified that Astrometry.net solving works, both online and remote using CCD and Telescope Simulators.

Hi Jasem, Just an update on this crash. My PC I run Kstars on and is now crashing when selecting the Align tab is running W8.1. I have just tried installing Kstars (#211) on another W8.1 PC and a W10 PC, both have never run Kstars before. Both these new PC's crash at the same point. Strange thing is the first time after install it doesn't crash and remote solving worked but the 2nd and subsequent runs of Kstars now all 3 PC's crash when selecting the Align tab.

Hi Jasem, Thanks for looking at this. I tried the new nightly build (211) and I'm no longer getting the 'no binaries' message but the instant I press the Align icon Kstars crashes. The log only has entries prior to the crash so not sure how much help it will be but I can provide the full log it if will help. I've provided some of the log that looks to me to be significant below. This line from the log looks strange as the Astometry driver is in the profile along with CCD and Telescope Simulators only (3 drivers) - 'Cannot set solver to remote. The Ekos equipment profile must include the astrometry Auxiliary driver.'
Cheers.
