Hello,

After removing the libindiclient.so.1 file from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu directory, I installed the today kstars/Indi updates. That fixed the problem.
Remote connection to the Pi4 server works now as usual.

Great thanks to the developers :-)

Hello,
testing my setup, I can now start Kstars but Ekos fails to remotely connect the PI4/Stellarmate server to the devices. See below.

All devices are well powered and connected to the Pi. Moreover when I start Ekos locally via VNC, all devices are well connected and controlled.

Finally, I suspect I get, as said Derek, some "unexpected result" due to the renaming of libindiclient.so.2 to libindiclient.so.1.

I think we would need an update to fix this problem of missing library.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply but...
Still the same problem after creating the link.
If I type again the command, I can see that the link exists but that doesn't solve the problem in my case.

pyb@PyBureau:~$ kstars
kstars: error while loading shared libraries: libindiclient.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
pyb@PyBureau:~$ sudo ln -s libindiclient.so.2 libindiclient.so.1
[sudo] Mot de passe de pyb :
ln: impossible de créer le lien symbolique 'libindiclient.so.1': Le fichier existe
pyb@PyBureau:~$

Hi Lars,

I didn't make any fresh install (only regular updates) but running Kstars today, I also notice that the bug is now fixed. Nice !

Hi Lars,

The 8BitDo-N30 is a very small and light BT joystick that can be also wired via USB to the mount RPi server.

I can control RA and DEC displacements, speed, park/unpark, mount stop. I can also control the focuser (in/out and motor stop).

Actually, I mainly use it in visual mode. The main drawback of the BT operation is the auto off after few minutes that cannot be disabled.

Hi Lars,
I am experiencing the same problem. I live in France and Kstars language is locked in french.
I already reported the bug and Jasem confirmed the issue (bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458412).
See also this topic: www.indilib.org/forum/ekos/12275-how-do-...nu-doesn-t-work.html.

No sorry Wim, I do not have any clue to circumvent this bug.
I hope that it will be fixed soon with a future release.

Hi Wim,

I experience the same problem.
The "Switch Application Language" menu doesn't work. Kstars stays locked to French whatever the language I choose.
I would prefer US English but it seems the application set automatically the language according to the registered location.

I already reported this bug few weeks ago on KDE - bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458412
I have had a question from Jasem that I answered but that's all.

This problem is not new and several similar bug reports were already issued.
