[Kstars-devel] Re: Missing INDI-support

[bnc]

Anders,
I have just fired up kstars 1.6.0 on my SUSE 11.3 system and the Device Manager is there. So it should be on yours.
Akarsh is right though my libindi and libnova were not installed by default.
Not sure if you are aware of this but, the way I understand it, Jasem has removed the dependency of kstars from indi. This means you now have to start indiserver "some device" -p "some port"( if you want to specify one).
You are then in a position to use any client you like.
If you want to use kstars you then go into devices/manager. At this point you would normally select the device you want the server to start, but the list is empty. what you need to do is click on the client tab and add a client. Specify localhost and the same port you started the device with. you then click on the client and press connect and you will be presented with the familiar dialogue box.
Hope the above helps.
having said the above I have my devices plugged into serial ports, and there is a problem with them since kernel 2.6.34 so I would be interested to hear if you get yours going.
Thanks,
Brian
