Actually START_DAEMON must be set false from my experiments.
With that, and the chrony stuff, it's all good now.

Yes for chrony add these 2 lines.
nano /etc/chrony.conf
refclock SHM 0 offset 0.5 delay 0.2 refid NMEA
drift file /var/lib/chrony/drift
For START_DAEMON, I actually changed it to false to be sure to eliminate all conflicts. But if it works well with true then you might as well leave it like that

Hello,
I wonder why there is no version 3.6.9 with indi version 2.0.6 or 2.0.7 on RPi4 with Ubuntu 20.04LTS ?
I tried to compile it from sources. Indi compile without problem but the driver for my qhy camera doesn't want to compile.
First I got that result :
[ 12%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/indi_qhy_focuser.dir/qhy_focuser.cpp.o
/home/observatoire/Projects/indi-3rdparty/indi-qhy/qhy_focuser.cpp:34:10: fatal error: indijson.hpp: No such file or directory
34 | #include <indijson.hpp>
I fixed it with:
#include "/usr/include/libindi/indijson.hpp"
But that wasn't enough. I got that result:
/home/observatoire/Projects/indi-3rdparty/indi-qhy/qhy_focuser.cpp: In member function \u2018virtual bool QFocuser::updateProperties()\u2019:
/home/observatoire/Projects/indi-3rdparty/indi-qhy/qhy_focuser.cpp:132:24: error: cannot convert \u2018INDI::PropertyNumber\u2019 to \u2018const char*\u2019
132 | deleteProperty(TemperatureNP);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
| |
| INDI::PropertyNumber
Stopped all my investigations.
Have you some suggestions ?

Actually, Stephane, we did discuss this a few months ago
here
.
There, you recommendied
START_DAEMON="true"Besides getting rid of port conflicts, there remains the problem of using the GPS to also update the system clock, which this does not do..
In another post on the above thread , you recommended using the chrony application to update the system clock. But it seems that chrony may have changed a bit since then, as the /etc/chrony.conf file no longer mentions refclock. Would you be so kind as to update that recommendation as well? Thank you very much

Hey Steve, serial comma is a PITA and this affects a lot of people. I am testing a small utility that will hopefully solve this problem once and for all. This will be a script that will mount your preferred devices under a static port like /dev/myAwesomeMount and we can feed then ekos with that value so that even if the real port will change, the linked one will be always fixed. Stay tuned

Did you compile KStars as it is written there:
techbase.kde.org/Projects/Edu/KStars/Building_KStars_KF5
or did you also recompile all INDI-3rdparty?
Because there is no KStars 3.7 on the Raspbian repository yet I also would like to compile it.

Ekos mounts the /dev/ttyUSB0 point for the dongle as can be seen in your image for the mount settings. And it will try to send on it the commands which will fail. The mount will be mounted on /dev/ttyUSB1 since the first port is used, but cannot be used by Ekos.
You must then remove the dongle and the USB cable from the mount to dismantle the dev points.
Systemd looks at the gspd file and first mounts the dongle with USBAUTO. With the value false, we prevent this. And START_DAEMON allows you to launch the gpsd service only on request, for example with Ekos.

Thank you, Stephane! I remember similar (but not identical) issues with 1.7 and I will try this. However I would like to understand better. I don’t remember this exact file in 1.7 and I don’t understand why /dev/ttyUSB0 exists until Ekos tries to use it, and then /dev/ttyUSB1 comes into existence and lasts until ekos tries to use it, at which point /dev/ttyUSB0 is again available. But thanks again for this quick reply.

Hi, I’m thinking about buying a Stellarmate, at the moment everything I have is ZWO, cameras (174 and 2600mc pro cooled) am5 mount and all the necessary cables, my questions are will I need to buy new cables and can I power the Stellarmate directly from my Jackery battery. Anyone please advise.
Read More...
Yeah, for colimation we need simple UVC Web Camera or something simmilar. If you found one to be sutable for use in telescope eyepiece, please let me know.
Curently I'm using my Raspberry Pi HQ camera for the process, but manually adjusting focus is real pain.

Has there been any progress on resolving this? I still get these on my RPi running the latest version of Stellarmate OS v1.8.2 (I think). And there are times when the response is very slow even though both the RPi and my laptop are connected to the same home Wifi.

Good point. I now need to find a suitable camera to try out the software. The ASI cameras I have dont seem to be able to focus even with the wide angle lens supplied.

Ok I have sorted it out. It was a communication problem on my system.
The focuser with the new drivers is working perfectly.

Hi Steve,
We can all change with system settings, including time zone userbase.kde.org/System_Settings
The name of the browser tab refers to the name of the VM used and not the user session. In this case the noVMC VM launched by root under AstroArch. This was requested by system administrators in 2014 to differentiate all VMs by tab names.
Good day.
Stéphane
