SUMMARY
When Kstars is opened through the Linux Mint menu, It is not possible to
control my telescope through Ekos-Indi. Indi is installed in my computer. When
I start Kstars as root with "sudo Kstars", it is possible to control my
telescope with Ekos-indi.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kstars through Linux Mint menu.
2. Input the telescope mount characteristics with Ekos.
3. Try to input a astronomical object to goto. It won't react.
4. Retry by opening Kstars with "sudo kstars", it works!
OBSERVED RESULT
Ekos doesn't control the telescope when Kstars is opened normally.
Ekos is able to control the telescope when Kstars is opened as root "sudo
kstars".
EXPECTED RESULT
Ekos should control the telescope
