manually... I used both a real serial port and an usb converter

Oh yeah! It works!!!

When connecting to the /dev/ttyUSB0 port I had to retry a couple of 
times on the INDI control panel, but at the end it had the connection!!

Tomorrow night I hope I will be able to test kstars for real, going 
outside with the laptop.

Thank you!!!

But why do I have to start everything manually? It's not such a problem, 
but I would like to understand and fix the thing.

PS I paste the beginning of the log, it could be useful to understand 
why the usb serial port was not seen at first...


# indiserver -v -r 0 -p 8000 celestrongps
Driver celestrongps: starting
Driver celestrongps: rfd 3 wfd 6
indiserver: listening to port 8000 on fd 4
Client 5: new arrival - welcome!
