Description François Proulx 2011-11-25 18:25:43 UTC

Application: kstars (2.0.0)
KDE Platform Version: 4.7.2 (4.7.2)
Qt Version: 4.7.4
Operating System: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic-pae i686
Distribution: Linux Mint 12 Lisa

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed: I was only trying to open it after installing it for a 2nd time. I run Linux Mint 12-32 bit (Gnome 3 + MSGE) on a laptop built to run on Linux. On Ubuntu 10.10, there was no problems. Kstars started to do this when I went to Ubuntu 11.10.

The crash can be reproduced every time.

Hi

This has already been fixed in the development branch. However, there is a temporary workaround. See one of the last few comments by Alexey Khudyakov on bug 279026 for the workaround.

Thanks for the report.

Hello.

Thanks for the reply. But since I am using Gnome 3 (in Linux Mint 12), I 
cannot apply the workaround. The file seems to be somewhere else and I 
can't find it. I am a new user of Linux (less than 1/2 a year) and I 
must admit that I still need a lot of guidance when there is work to be 
done on a terminal. I have to admit that I tend to avoid doing so as 
much as I can get away with (this is the windows man leftover within 
me... Sorry). Is there any way someone could help (guide) me.
