Camera not found - the server encountered an internal error ... about indi-allsky HOT 9 CLOSED

Problem solved.
I am sorry, I completely overlooked the option to set thirdparty driver build=true in the INDI build command!
Everything working fine now.

You need to re-run setup.sh and select the indi_asi_ccd driver and then restart the indiserver service.

systemctl --user restart indiserver

from indi-allsky.

The "indi_asi_ccd" driver is not offered anywhere. Running setup.sh somewhere shows a warning:

Then, only 2 driver options are consistently offered: "indi_simulator_ccd" and "indi_v4l2_ccd", exactly as offered during first install. I tried running setup both with and without the camera plugged in.

Sounds like you installed the base indi system, but not the 3rd party drivers yet.

The 3rdparty repo can be found here: https://github.com/indilib/indi-3rdparty

How did you originally build INDI?

from indi-allsky.

I have built INDI by very precisely following your instructions on the installation page, using those commands. I tried several times with different fresh OS installs. Invariably, setup.sh built the INDI library in about 20 minutes (RP 4B-8Gb) and then mentioned skipping installing 3rd party drivers. As far as I remember, this is different from a previous install that I did earlier this year.

Being a beginner in Linux, could you help me with the required command line commands to install these camera drivers? The instructions on the repo page are a bit confusing to me.

from indi-allsky.

The wiki only recommends skipping the 3rdparty if you intend on using a libcamera supported camera.

Building the full INDI only requires you to run the INDI build script with no parameters.

./misc/build_indi.sh

If you already have core installed, you can skip that and just install 3rd party.

BUILD_INDI_CORE=false BUILD_INDI_3RDPARTY=true ./misc/build_indi.sh

from indi-allsky.

No worries. I realize the instructions can be confusing. I will look in to clarifying them.

Closing this for now. Let me know if you have any more issues.
