Kstars is not processing satellites. There are a multitude of TLE files in /home/bob/.local/kstars. These files used to contain the two line element (TLE) representations of the satellites. Now those files all say something like <head><title>Document Moved</title></head> <body><h1>Object Moved</h1>This document may be found <a HREF="http://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/geodetic.txt">here</a></body> and that's it. No data. If one goes to http://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/geodetic.txt you will find all the geodetic satellite TLEs. However, updating the satellite data via Kstars loads the same empty files. A workaround is to go to the NORAD site and download the data into the appropriate .tle file. Kstars will read that data, plot the satellites, find a satellite in the Pointing menu, etc. However, after downloading and saving a .tle file, make sure to change the r/w permissions to read only; otherwise the next satellite update will overwrite with an essentially blank file.
