Ok, for those who are interested: I was able to run the camera in half the resolution ("INDI Control Panel "-> "Toupcam G3M178C" -> "Controls": setting "Resolution" to "1520+1024") with Debian on a Lenovo T490 Laptop. And finally on a Raspberry Pi 4 with Astroberry, the camera was running in full resolution. Sadly Idid not yet find out, why it is not running with the laptop.

Dear all,

with yesterdays update to v1.9.4 (indilib.org/forum/announcement/id-33.html) kstars crashes with a segfault when pressing the "Start" button in the EKOS dialog and ccdciel disconnects immediately after trying to connect.

Greetings

Dear all,

I cannot take pictures/preview with the above mentioned camera in Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS following the instructions from indilib.org/ccds/toupcam-cameras.html. In the client software (kstars & ccdciel) I always get a timeout error. When running in a windows VM with the Omegon software it works.

Sadly I didn't find anything to solve my problem, so any help/hint is appreciated.

Kind regards
Jörg
