Hello Jasem,

I fixed xephem and its now working, I can control the
ETX90 from the computer OK.

On kstars, not so lucky...

I tried your sugestion:

Worked OK

Nope, I click on the INDI control panel, after that a
window with the title "INDI Control Panel - Kstars"
appears with 1 tab that says ETX90 and nothing else.

I can close the windows and kstars is still alive.

This is my console dump: when i start kstars:

QSettings: failed to open file
'/usr/lib/qt-3.1/etc/settings/qt_plugins_3.1rc'

And this is the dump when I do the "Run Service"

Thanks a lot.
