Hi.

I'm using celestia 1.3.2-2 (yum install) for linux and can't get the default web browser to startup after selecting an object with right mouse button and chooing "info".

I remember being able to do this with previous versions.

Any ideas?

Surely, someone must know a solution to this?????????

Ok, I'll rephrase the question.

If you select an object within celestia ( mars for instance ) and choose the "info" tab, does your web browser automatically open up with a page displaying infomation all about mars?.

If so what version of celestia are you using and how was it installed. rpm? tar.gz?.

Hope someone out there can help.

Presumably, people are not answering, since you did not care to specify precisely what kind of Linux (KDE? which?) and which browser (Konqueror, Firefox, Mozilla ...) you have installed. Don't expect that many know what "(yum install)" is to mean?? The number of Linux flavours is meanwhile much higher than the number of Celestia developers ;-)

. So you must detail what you are using if you want significant answers...People don't want to waste their time by tediously extracting first all the absolutely required info via many post cycles...simply because those who seek help are apparently to lazy to sit down a few minutes decribing their environment with great care.
