This is on Stellarmate, but isn't a Stellarmate problem. I'm using KStars 3.5.9 stable on an Ubuntu 20.4 system. Indi 1.9.6 is running on the Raspberry Pi with Stellarmate OS 1.7.1 32-bit. After upgrading to Stellarmate, and when I have these devices running:
and I start a run of flats, Ekos and Kstars and any fits viewer windows I have open go away. Loading KStars again, and starting Ekos, brings me back to where I was when I started the flat process - 1 second exposure time, wrong directory, count of 1, etc. Usually the flatmaster driver on Indi Control Panel is blank. I have to restart Indi on the Raspberry Pi.
I got around it (sort of) by building 2 shell scripts - one to load everything except flatmaster, and one to load these devices:
When I do imaging, I run the first script, "indi", and when I do flats, I run the second "flats" script. That resolves it, but won't really do for a solution. I will try to see if there is a combination that won't work together. In the mean time, has anyone seen such an interaction with the FlatMaster driver..?
