No menus

Post #1by cbrolin » 07.03.2007, 23:15

Where are all these menus everybody is talking about? I have no menus at all, not even a pop-menu when right-clicking. I'm running Celestia under Ubuntu Linux 6.10. :?:

:o

I'm in Ubuntu (it's a Linux distribution) and I don't have any pull-down or pop-up menus in Celestia, just the short-cut keys, But I'm not able to remember all these functions. Running Celestia under Windows XP gives me the menus. Is this a known problem or do I need to make any configurations?

You're probably using the GLUT version of Celestia (celestia-glut), running 'aptitude install celestia' as root will fix it.

Notice that the version provided by Ubuntu is quite old (1.3.2, August 2004), you might consider building from CVS instead.
