I will try to build a previous or stable version of planetary imager.

[src386]

No luck with Planetary Imager 0.7.0 :(
I will try with debian 9.

[src386]

Works with debian 9.
So it's an issue with Fedora 28.

[src386]

I dockerize Planetary Imager so I can use it on Fedora 28.

Does it only happen with the ZWO camera? Do you have a regular USB webcam you could try?

[src386]

Works with laptop webcam.

[Plutonium5793]

I too use Fedora 28 and have had this problem since Fedora 26 (26 was ok; 27 was not). Works with webcam on my computer, not with my zwo cameras (178c and 120m). It runs fine on Linux-Astronomy which uses Ubuntu 16. All that info gathered on the same laptop computer.

Hi,
I put a new builds system in place, with builds for Fedora 29, 30 and 31 (28 is EOL).

I had a go with virtual machines on both fedora 29 and 30, and didn't encounter the issue. Can you confirm whether I can close it?

Cheers,
Marco

Hi Marco,

I can confirm this on Fedora 30 and the latest PI release. Also have an ASI183MC and not sure if its because the camera isn't recognized or because of this bug on fedora.

Another thing that I noticed is that the program never exits even on pressing the Quit menu, have to kill it to make it exit.

Please let me know if there is anything I can help to track down these, already compiled PI from source so can test easily if needed.

Thank you in advance!
Julius

Hi,
I was able to isolate the behaviour and fixed the issue in master, please look at 0.7.70_20190609_ci120.
It's worth noting that compiling from source won't work, as you also need to compile opencv and libusb from scratch instead of using fedora packages.
You might also need to remove the $HOME/.ZWO directory since I noticed that when the app crashes when scanning for cameras it creates an invalid XML file in that directory that makes the ASI SDK crash again.

Please let me know if this works for you,
Marco
