I recently installed Kstars/Ekos on a small Nuc computer. I am able to connect to and control all of the devices in my telescope (mount, DSLR camera, ZWO guide camera). All my testing is in the garage now, due to the weather.

The only problem I have seen so far is the button graphics don't show, although I do get the "hover text" when the mouse pointer hovers over the button. I can press the button and the action that is associated with it does take place. Buttons with text instead of show up okay.

Some details on my installation:
Kstars version number: 2.9.4
Ubuntu version number: 18.04.5
Xfce Desktop: 4.12
INDI library: 1.8.7
PC: NUC5CPYH

I have attached a screenshot.


Any ideas?
BTW: Thanks for creating this terrific application, I am so looking forward to some clear skies so I do some real testing.

HI,

I just got my Rigel nStep USB focuser working under Ekos. Everything's working okay except the focuser direction is the opposite of what it should be. When I press the focus in button, the focuser moves out, and vice versa.
My question: Is there a way in software to reverse the direction of travel for so that the focuser moves in the proper direction? (focus in shortens the focus tube, focus out lengthens it.)

If it matters, i have a Raspberry Pi 4 running Astroberry.
