I did another test overnight. I started at 11:28pm with Celestia time synced to my system time. I checked this morning at 7:48am. The system time was of course correct, but Celestia time was 11:31am, so nearly 4 hours ahead. I also confirmed that this only occurs when Celestia is running in a non-ac...

Hi all- A week or so ago the community helped me get Celestia 1.7 running on Linux. For the most part, things are working well, but i've come across a curious issue. Something seems messed up with the time. If i'm running Celestia on screen and let it go for hours on end, it stays synced. But if i'm...

Ah, so now i see two errors. Both say there is an error opening an image. They are: textures/medres/SatRing.png textures/lores/SatRing.png It seems to be thinking it should use SatRing.png rather than the saturn-rings.png file. So i poked around.

Fantastic! With that fix it is installed and running! Next, i want to bring over all my Celestia add-ons from my Win version and get them integrated. Whereabouts is Celestia installed on the drive? That is- does it have its own installation directory? It looks like /usr/share/ . Is that the only pla...

I have the Ubuntu version. So i have tried this, and the first two lines seem fine. But i get errors when i get to the install line. E: Type 'https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/munix9:/unstable/Ubuntu_18.04/' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/celestia-obs.li...

Hi all- I am a long-time Celestia user. I recently made the move from Win10 to Linux (Mint 19.1) and want to get Celestia installed. However, I know squat about package installations. So i am hoping to get some help. I found this thread which discusses several known issues with the direct download f...
