The issue disappeared after I compiled from source over a fresh install of Ubuntu 22.04 headless server (no desktop) on an 8GB RPi4. Equipment was attached locally to the RPi4, and I ran kstars on the RPi4 with a remote X display (i.e., logged in to the RPi 4 via ssh -X from a remote X machine and ran kstars).

The github issue page (status now closed) says things should be cleaned up and fixed in the next release 2.0.8 due June 1, so this thread is now solved.

Thanks again to Aaron Morris for the help.

Thank you again Aaron for the pointer to that github page .

My Player One Uranus-C is uncooled but it certainly looks like the same issue.

I will try to compare (a) compiling from source vs (b) using ubuntu ppa packages (and update the github page with relevant information, if any).

Thank you - I deleted the entire ~/.indi directory and that helped quite a bit. The errors are now gone.

But the Player One Uranus-CCD Indi Control Panel is still missing the temperature display that used to be there before my apt upgrade. I also have a ZWO ASI120MM Mini camera, and its Indi Control Panel shows the temperature.

In the latest version of indi/ekos/kstats (as of early May 2024), the name for this mount (Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi) has been changed to "Star Adventurer GTi" (the old name "Sky Adventurer GTi" is gone), and the driver name for indiserver is now "indi_staradventurergti_telescope". For this mount, the eqmod driver also works. (However, the latest indi version is causing error messages in my main camera, which I have reported in a separate post.)

For almost a year, I have been running indiserver/ekos without any issues to drive a Player One Uranus-C uncooled camera (plus a Star Adventurer GTi mount). The camera is connected to a Raspberry Pi 4 with 8GB RAM running Ubuntu 22.04 that acts as an indi server, and I connect remotely to it via port-forwarding over wired ethernet from a client host pc running kstars/ekos gui (this client host is also an Ubuntu 22.04 laptop, with the same versions of ekos/kstars).

After upgrading indi/kstars to the latest versions (both on the RPi4 indi server and the client PC), my Player One Uranus-C camera's temperature no longer appears on the Indi control panel. Instead, the indi control panel shows cooling settings for this uncooled camera (it seems that indi/lib thinks that this uncooled Player One Uranus-C camera is a cooled one). Also, the camera's temperature shows up momentarily in the logs when ekos first connects, but after that the logs fill up with this constantly repeating error message (one message every second):

PlayerOne CCD Uranus-C :  "[ERROR] Failed to get perc power information (POA_ERROR_INVALID_CONFIG). "

I have been using my SkyWatcher Star Adventurer GTi mount with EKOS for about three months now (various machines), and using the mount name "Sky Adventurer GTi" had always worked
