Been having some issues lately that I need help figuring out. The first 2 are from my desktop running Linux connecting remotely to the Rpi indi server.
1. Occasionally, there is no image train to select despite having Primary and Guiding programmed. See log labeled No Image Train.
2. I've been having issues on and off with failed exposures after focusing with the EAF. Sometimes I can run autofocus with no issues but fail if I use the in or out arrows, other times I can use the arrows but autofocus fails. Mostly any movement of the focuser results in failed exposures. I have to use the indi control panel to disconnect then reconnect the camera to expose again. But as soon as I touch the EAF, failure.
3. Same problems as 1 and 2 but from a freshly installed Stellarmate OS on a Rpi4.
4. Svbony SV305Pro sometimes doesn't load at startup. I'll have to disconnect indi and restart. Sometimes this works, sometimes I'll unplug the usb cable to the camera a few times with 50% success. This is on both systems as well.
I was having the troubles using Astroberry so I purchased and switched to Stellarmate. I have already tried different usb cables with the same results. Both cameras are plugged into the 3.0 outlets with the mount and EAF in the 2.0s. I've tried powered USB 3.0 hubs and non-powered. Could someone look at the logs and tell me what they see? I have no idea how to read them. I can send screen grab videos if needed. Since I've switched operating systems, I'm thinking it's either an issue with the Rpi or something causing miscommunication among the devices and ekos/indi. If it would be best to make separate posts, please let me know and I'll edit.

Thanks. It's actually working just fine tonight after deleting my copy of the file earlier. I read a previous comment that longitude is calculated as 360 - 89.xxxx in my case which equals to the 270.xxxxx so I deleted the file I edited and renamed the original file back to its original name.

I am having to re-enter my location coordinates occasionally in the Indi Control Ppanel as my longitude changes from the correct -89.xx.xx to 290.xx.xx. Sometimes when I first start, it is listed as 290.xx.xx and sometimes it changes in the middle of the night randomly when trying to go-to different objects. It will slew to an incorrect location and when I check, it has changed back to 290.xx.xx.
I was able to edit the EQMod Mount_config.xml and EQMod Mount_config.xml.default in /home/astroberry/.indi, but I can not find this file on my desktop running ZorinOS. How can I edit this on the desktop?
