Hi,
I'm running the solver and it hangs on "capturing..."(KStars, Ekos, Indi CP, FITS Viewer) for about 2 minutes, then frees up for 20 seconds, and it all goes away. Pop. No more KStars and friends. Occasionally, it hangs and never comes out. Ubuntu tells me KStars has stopped responding and asks me if I want to terminate it. I say yes, and it goes away as it should. I just upgraded to KStars 3.6.6 Build: 2023-08-18T09:00:46Z Stable release. Same equipment as always, same computer, different KStars. The RPi running Stellarmate out at the scope continues to run. I can run the guider and I don't have problems with the capture, and I can focus and not have problems, I can even capture from the sequnce and it doesn't do it. The log files end with:

I've attached some log files.

Thank you,
