I don't have the window component visibility problems you describe. As I'm only ever in front of one, that's not been a problem for me. Yes Nomachine kicks me off the old display when I connect with a new one. So to install Nomachine on Ubuntu it needs to be downloaded from the website and installed as follows on the current version number as of today: I be interested to see it for Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS with Gnome. Anyhow, I couldn't get any other combination to work but I expect someone on the forum may have a quick how-to for that. It is very fast (try dragging Kstars constelaltions around with the mouse and see how smoothly it works) but it does seem to chomp CPU when in use. Fortunately they are available for Windows/Linux/Android etc, and all are free. Nomachine uses a protocol called NX instead of VNC so you need a NX protocol client to talk to it. I tried TightVNCServer, TigerVNCServer, different window managers due to Gnome apparently having a "known issue" with black or grey screens but with no success and finally settled on Nomachine. The most difficulties I've had have been in the remote control software. I tested EKOS initially with the Canon 600D and download times dropped from 9-10 seconds when using the Pi 4 to 1-2 seconds with the new setup.
Sudo apt-get install indi-full kstars-bleeding Next was the fun of adding all the software and configuring it.įirst up was to update the OS which also created access to repos for the WLAN driver: Booting from this was quick and I was soon running with gnome desktop although I'd prefer KDE or something else but I found no choice at build time. I downloaded the current Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS Desktop image and burned it to USB stick using Rufus. The Beelink uses a 12v supply and uses just 12 watts of power. I say had because I removed it and added a Kingston 256GB SSD that I already had. I bought a Beelink GK55 mini PC which has a Celeren 4125 quad core at 2GHz (bursting to 2.7), 2x USB3 & 2x USB2 plus a M2 256GB M2 drive which had Windows 10 preinstalled. The new PC needed to work with the following components: I don't have any facility for a permanent setup so whatever I use has to be portable and battery powered. I decided to hang on to the Pi4/Stellarmate but also try a small PC build with faster processor etc. I'd need to let it take two images before I saw the first in the PA screen and it took a lot longer than it should to complete. Capturing an image from my Canon 600D would take 9-10 seconds to download so polar alignment was arduous. I bought a Pi4 4GB to run it but even using an external SSD as boot/storage it was slow. I'm a big fan of Jasem's Stellarmate and the polished implementation he's managed to put together. The contents below have been my experience and Your Mileage will definitely vary.
In the hope that it might be helpful I've jotted down my experiences over the last few days with building Linux/Kstars/INDI/EKOS from scratch.
