Celestia Forums

Hi everybody , I'm using:

Celestia 1.3.0
Linux RH 9.0 with the kernel included or the one from kernel.org
drivers NVIDIA from nvidia.org
GEFORCE 3 Ti 200

Well the thing is, I'm trying to compile with the --with-kde when I made the ./configure.

everything seems to be correct, but when I'm using Celestia, I miss the "navigation" menu.. (The program itself work!, but without this menu... it's difficult to use it )

If I'm trying "./configure" (without the --with-kde) it's the same thing..

I tried to find something here, maybe I didn't search the right thing, but I didn't find anything..

Is it a bug ? or it's me that have a bug in the brain ?

Only "Navigation"? I mean, do you have menu at all? and toolbars? Perhaps you don't have the KDE development libraries installed, and the configure tool downgrades you to a "simpler" interface...

No, I just miss this menu..! (well I think, because I don't know what are the corrects menus, I just seen this one on the documentation) I have the "File, View, Go, Setting" menu, the right button fonction with a context menu..(select, center, goto.. etc etc).

I have a little toolbar (open, home)

I have the library installed , otherwise I can't do the ./configure --with-kde (I think ?)

Of course I made the "make && make install" .

Sorry for my poor english..

Hummm, me too, just noticed.. Christophe is developing the internationalization now, perhaps it's really a bug. Well, you can always navigate by pressing <Return> and typing the name of the place yo want to find. You lack the Celestial Browser and the eclipse finder, although you have the ALT+C and ALT+E Key bindings to access them (I hope so )

I reproduce the same thing on another machine with the same distribution.

the hardware was different.

When I installed the RH I install "all package" even if I'm not japanese and I don't need those package.. but.. who can do the best, can do the worst

RH use KDE 3.1 is it that ?

I tried to compile with the option --use-gtk ( --use-gnome failed because I don't have the glut.h ???? I have it, but it seems that it can't find it with this option...)

I tried to compile with the option --use-x ...

with the three compilations:
I have exactly the same window, with the same menu , with the same design!

I make a "make uninstall" and "make clean" everytime I compile.. is it possible that X use the widget of kde ?????????????????? I don't think so..

I thought that RH installed its own celestia, but when I'm making a "whereis celestia" after a "make uninstall", he doesnt find anything, and of course I can't launch it..

Well... I will try the windows one.. but the last time it freeze when I'm visiting the earth... I hope it will not this time..

Please, don't do it!! You are too young!! Sure they will capture and freeze you when you are flying over M$ HQ, because you used "viral" software!!! (or perhaps, because of your french name?)

Just kidding...

Well.. I've got a virus around 2Go on my hard disk

sorry for the out-of-topic

On KDE menus and toolbars are build at run time from an XML file.

That XML file is celestiaui.rc and it should be located in $KDEDIR/share/apps/celestia/. Check that it's correctly installed.

Also if you had a previous version installed and if you personalized the toolbar, you may have an older version of that file in ~/.kde/share/apps/celestia, simply remove it.

I'm always learning with each of your posts, Christophe. Thanks!! I'll check tomorrow, today I'm a bit busy, I have guests at home too...


Bye!!

Thanks a lot Christophe!

I had the celestiaui.rc in /usr/local/share/apps/celestia but I think it could'nt use it.

I copied this file in ~/.kde/share/apps/celestia

and EVERYTHINK WORK!!! yeahhhhhh! I can fly other the universe.

Thanks a lot everybody
