Celestia Help!

[Phoenix27]

I use Ubuntu, and I've just recently downloaded Celestia.

I would really like to input some add-ons but for some odd reason, the Celestia folder is like non-existent!

The program works, and I've searched all over my system for the folder, but nothing.

Anyone know what I can do?

Being a Linux operating system, Ubuntu features a most powerful set of UNIX commands. So just search for your lost folder:

Open your terminal and type
> cd /
> find . -name "Celestia*" -print

It might be worth to learn a bit about your OWN computer.

It didn't work.

What do you mean with "It didn't work"???

a) you mistyped the commandline
b) nothing was printed => no directory with name Celestia...
is on your harddisk.

It was b.

Is the folder /usr/local/share/celestia?
If not, you can create your own addons folder and tell Celestia to look for it.
For example: celestia --extrasdir ~/celestia
(type celestia --help for more options)

That would have been my next suggestion ...but since he wrote he was missing the (capital C) Celestia folder ...

So how about trying

> cd /usr
> find . -name celestia -print

Your previous example had "Celestia*". Did you intend to change more than just the case of the initial letter?

i run fedora and not Ubuntu but it should be in one of a few places
first open the install file with your archive manager and look at the folder names

example
celestia-1.4.1-7.fc6.i386.rpm
/usr
-- |-- bin
---- `-- celestia
-- |-- share
-------|-- applications
-------|-- celestia
---------| |-- data
---------| |-- demo.cel
---------| |-- extras
---------| |-- fonts
---------| |-- guide.cel
---------| |-- models
---------| |-- shaders
---------| |-- splash
---------| | `-- splash.png
-------| |-- start.cel
-------| `-- textures
---------| |-- flare.jpg
------ | |-- hires
------ | |-- logo.png
------ | |-- lores
------ | `-- medres
-- |-- doc
-- |-- locale
