Edit your profile and toggle "Port Selector". Next time you start the profile, carefully select the serial port for each driver so they don't try to scan for available ports which may lead to this.

I have tried several combinations. Selecting specific ports, changing port device path, Baud rates, Auto-Search enabled/disabled, Scan Ports etc. None of that worked. The computer (Ubuntu 22.04.02 LTS) has only mount (via USB) and ZWO Camera connected (minimum required for testing). This is a fairly newer mount from Skywatcher(announced in Dec 2022). I am wondering if the Indi driver needs some additional tweaking to make it work. Happy to help, if I can provide additional logging/debugging information.

(Another data point: Tried the same USB port with Synscan Pro software on Windows Computer, also using Prolific USB/Serial driver. It works with that.)

The mount should be supported just fine. This an issue with the OS reporting the port is being used by another process.

Before running Ekos, run this:

fuser -k /dev/ttyUSB0

Do it report any processes using this port? After starting KStars and selecting 115200 baud rate, run this command again and if you get it's used by another process, then check the output again.

If you connect the USB cable to your PC, can you check the output for dmesg ? anything out of the ordinary there?

Yeah, looks like a case of the GPSD taking control of that USB.

This has happened to several USB controllers over the years.

Best to remove GPSD from the stack, because it will be hard to get the different distributions to remove that USB id.
