Sorry for me poor english! I cannot downloaded the list of the current comets (no answerback). But all is ok for asteroîdes and satellites. Thanks for help. Claude.
How do you know it's not updated? Do you get error message?
Thanks for answerback: First -when i click for comets orbit, the reply is "null" Second - on terminal i read [claude@localhost ~]$ su root Mot de passe : [root@localhost claude]# cd /usr/share/kstars [root@localhost kstars]# ls /usr/share/kstars/comets.dat /usr/share/kstars/comets.dat [root@localhost kstars]# ls -l /usr/share/kstars/comets.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 159125 oct. 1 15:32 /usr/share/kstars/comets.dat and the date is not the current one :01/10/2017 instead of 14/10/2017. For satellite, i have 02/10/2017. Of course i have updated both.
The file is stored under ~/.local/share/kstars
Thanks: In ~/.local/share/kstars, it is only à link... (159B) marked at the current date (15/10) In /usr/share/kstars/comets.dat are the data (155.4kB) marked at the old date. In the file, i see for example the comet C/2017 O1 but i have no answer in the window: "Aucun objet nommé « C/2017 O1 » n'a été trouvé". The list of the comets don't appears. I don't understand what is wrong....
I just checked with 2.9.3 on Linux and it works fine. Please check with the latest KStars version.
