I try in a Fedora 26 VM but I cannot reproduce the problem, everything work fine. To get more information do the following: - start indistarter from a terminal window so you can see the messages. - remove gphoto and add "CCD Simulator" to be sure this is not a specific problem for this driver. - in Setup menu, for "Additional server options" add -v - click the Start button. When the driver start you can see the following messages: FIFO: start indi_simulator_ccd -n "CCD Simulator" With name: CCD Simulator Wait a few second and Stop. Copy the terminal output here. If no error, you can repeat the operation with gphoto to see if it look different. |

This is really odd... I have put -v in the Setup tab, Additional server options field. IF I initiate INDIstarter using the desktop icon I get the same <defunct> problem with any device I choose, both simulated and real.

This is even odder (and less (understandable) ... I have been running the Xfce Desktop for years ... today I installed the MATE Desktop so I could compare its effect, if any, upon an application's behavior. Much to my surprise (and delight), INDIstarter behaves as expected. :-) Sigh ... You may close this if desired. The "problem" apparently IS NOT with your program but rather with the Xfce Desktop. Thanks, -gary- |

I was testing with the default Gnome3. Now I have installed Xfce4 for testing but it also work. So there is something specific to your Xfce installation. I also tested I get the same defunct process if I kill the driver. At each kill the Indi server try to restart the driver and this is why you see more than one defunct. If you want to do more search on the problem look for missing libraries path or permission in the Xfce environment. I close the issue now as I can probably not change anything in the program to help with this problem. |

More information from Gary Anderson: Thank you for your thoughts and suggestions. Although MATE and GNOME would apparently look in /usr/local/lib64 for and needed libraries, Xfce would not. I fixed the problem by adding an entry (for /usr/local/lib64) to the ldconfig search path. Sigh ... |
