Preliminary tests (not thorough but connects/disconnects, GOTOs, few shutdown and restart INDI/EKOS/KStars) and I haven't had a crash. I will try to test as much as I can and provide more feedback.
This is looking very good. Thanks for all the efforts.
Everything still working fine after system shutdown/reboot.
I would love to go test under the stars tonight but, like when getting new astronomical equipment, debugging astronomical software seems to bring the clouds! LOL but
Same here - I can test and blow stuff up if I have a fairly easy way to install - running SM OS on PI4 with no dev environment - so basic install from PPA
Works now, thank you. I rebuilt from source, ran from the build directory, all worked fine. I could create a new configuration, configure all devices and save the changes. I could then relaunch that app, and it still worked (with changes). I rebooted the laptop where it runs, reconnected the devices and they all came up like they should.
I also did a "clean" and "install" and that worked as well.
Thanks, it doesn't look like a really easy fix, the nuance of the Blocking vs. Non-Blocking couldn't have been an easy one to figure out.

what is the magic on buster to getting indi nightly?....add ing the PPA on my other Ubuntu box works but Buster will not add the PPA
Yeah...SM app and direct on the PI4 at console both telling me I am up to date - the Kstars is 3.5.0 beta and appears to pull from the kstars nightly, but indi is saying stable - somehow I need to change that I assume
