Hi,
I was using KStars to control my Celestron mount. I upgraded to a new computer, did a fresh install of Fedora 21, KDE, etc on an HP laptop. When I run KStars, I cannot find the menu item that lets me select a telescope mount. I can specify the optical tube assembly particulars under Settings > Define Equipment, but the only selection under the Driver pull-down is None. So I went back to my old computer, which is also running KStars 2.2, and again I could not find any menu item that allowed me to specify a telescope mount, and this used to work. Some data points: 1. The correct INDI packages seem to be installed on both computers. 2. Stellarium works fine on both computers (meaning I can use Stellarium to steer the mount), which would seem to corroborate item #1. 3. I last used my old computer to control my mount in January 2015. Did something change between then and mid-May? I considered filing a bug report, but I figured if this control feature failed there would be a ton of complaints so I must be doing something wrong. The KStars package is kstars-14.12.3-1.fc21.x86_64. Thanks, Bob |

No, it is not. Loaded an older version of kstars (kstars-4.13.3-1.fc20.x86_64), did a link to satisfy a library dependency (ln -s libcfitsio.so.2 libcfitsio.so.1 in /usr/lib64) and now the correct entries are appearing under the Tools menu as well as options in Settings > Define Equipment.
For some reason, INDI support was not built into the latest version. |
