The temporary fix: If your port is something like /dev/ttyACM0, then in a terminal as root, type: chmod o+gw /dev/ttyACM0
After that restart kstars and try again.

In the INDI control panel, the scope defaults to /dev/ttyUSB0 (or similar). Since the scope connects via a serial connection, I've been resetting that to /dev/ttyS0 and INDI then says it is connected to the Gemini and KStars seems to know (from the Gemini controller) where the scope is pointing. But it won't obey any commands (slew etc). So there's a disconnect there somewhere and the connection seems to drop out. I suspect there is some device contention going on for that serial port.
Also, from one restart to the next, INDI doesn't remember that I have reset that Port. It keeps coming back to the default USB0.
No other devices will connect - no doubt because they are all behind a USB hub and I'm guessing INDI doesn't know how to find them. Not sure about the solution.
Persevere.
