I have two Linux systems, both running Mint 22.1, kernel 6.8.0-94-generic. KStars crash on the lightweight PC running Mint XCFE, normal behaviour on Mint X-Cinnamon
Comment 2 Huib Wouters 2026-02-06 13:54:13 UTC 
Did another reboot issue sstill there. Made a new Ekos profile, issue solved. Don't understand, but works for now.
