Describe the bug
DSLR drivers fail to start on Arch Linux
To Reproduce
Connect the cameras... either Nikon D500 or Pentax K1 II via appropriate cable and unmount the SD card storage
Open EKOS from KStars, choose profile - Nikon, Pentax, GPhoto tested currently, then click "Start"
Expected behavior
The EKOS control panel should show as it does with the Simulator profile selected
Screenshots
I started a thread on CloudyNights: https://www.cloudynights.com/forums/topic/1005882-kstarekos-not-working-with-nikon-or-pentax-dslr-segfault-on-arch-linux/#comment-14749154
To see if t was just something I did wrong regarding creation of profile or settings and to see if anyone else had experienced the issue
I guess the best info I can give is:
