Moon desappear and earth lost sattelite's menu

Post #1by nicolas » 13.05.2006, 14:16

I run celstia 1.4.1 under linux.

At 2003 08 14 02:00:00 the Moon desappear !!! 8O

At the same time on contextual menu on earth, satelitte menu desappear also. And after spaceship menu desappear...

What's the matter ?

I have found no pb into solarsys.ssc

I have just a lot of adds-on.

It's a joke for newbie :?:

Thank

What graphics card do you have? How much memory does it have?
What drivers are you using?
Which version of Linux are you running?

If you have many addons, maybe your graphics card is running out of memory. Strange things happen then. Some drivers will swap to main memory. Some will not.

Move Addons that you are not viewing to another directory where Celestia cannot find them.

Does that make a difference?
