Celestia Forums

I downloaded and installed 1.4.0 using the autoinstall. It looks like whatever the bug was is no longer there. All spacecraft I have tried now show up.

Has anyone else had success? with 1.4.0?

Has anyone tried the new release of Celestia? Are models still missing?There are always errors when I compile from scratch, so I cannot test it.

Yet another Linux distro. So far we have:
Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and SUSE.

It certainly doesn't seem to be a distro specific problem.

I installed Celstia on a different computer using Ubuntu Breezy with Nvidia-glx drivers. I get the same issue, no spacecraft.

Update: Mandrake 10.1 with the latest Nvidia drivers works perfectly. So at least i've now narrowed it down to the Nvidia-glx drivers from apt-get.

Is there one?

Andylong is using Fedora with an ATI card. I found this in the FAQ. It's worth a shot. I will try it...

I've decided that i'm going to install a some different distros and find out which one works. I've tried Ubuntu and Debian Sarge. I used the apt-get Nvidia-glx drivers for both. Trying to update the driver to the latest version has been a pain, so I don't know if that works. i'll try again later if ...

I am having the exact same problem as Andylong on Celestia 1.3.2. I'm using Ubuntu with an Nvidia Geforce 4. I've used the apt-get packages to install my nvidia drivers and to install Celestia. The main problem is not being able to view spacecraft. Planets show up without a problem. When I choose a ...
