Daz Type-R Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Hi guys. Bit of help on Stellarium please? I don't seem to be able to turn on the constellation lines function, no matter what I click (either on or off) the constellation lines do not turn on? Any ideas? Thanks. Ohh, running version 0.11.1.

Perkil8r Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I've been puzzled by this too. When I first downloaded it they worked fine, now all of a sudden a few days after they have stopped working. The artwork and name functions still work but not the lines.

Guest BigTfromNotts Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Have you tried hitting the letter 'c'? Must be something to do with the version you are running, it works fine on 10.6.1 Edited February 12, 2012 by BigTfromNotts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Harper. Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Just reinstall it.... What kind of money would you have to pay to get a descent view of the Orion nebula? To see it like in Stellarium. Edited February 12, 2012 by MADDOGHARPER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Never worked for me on 10.6.1 either so "upgraded", everything else seems to work bar the lines. And yep, tried hitting "C" in case the internal link was broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Just reinstall it.... What kind of money would you have to pay to get a descent view of the Orion nebula? I can see it with my scope and set-up from my back garden, not seen it from a dark site yet. Just looks a bluey / grey colour, for a proper view you will need a camera, webcam, dslr etc etc.........

Guest Tweedledum Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Hi Darren, Should work pretty well, if you are using version 10.6.1 there is version 11 available. There is no reason why the lines should not work. Have you tried the domestos cure (ctrl alt del!) and reboot??. It could be that your graphics card has hooked up.

Doc Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I would say to see it visually like that a 24" dob would be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Harper. Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Thanks for the replies, damn Doc you've just shattered my dreams, I thought I might get away with a 10" Dob.... D'oh!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is every time I load Stellarium not just this once. It never worked on 10.6, it doesn't work on 0.11, just wondered if it depends on the number of stars you have selected, I change that, but still no lines.....

Brantuk Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I'm running Stellarium 0.10.6.1 on Vista. It's nice and stable and the constellation lines are fine. Di's uses Windows 7 and had constellation line problems with the same version - she upgraded to a higher version (0.10.7.1 I think) and all was fine again.

I was on 10.6, I unistalled that, then re-installed 0.11 from the website. On both versions the constellation lines have never worked. Is there any way I can upgrade other than downloading it from the website? Is there a "check for updates" button some whare that I can't find?

Brantuk Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 There's a config file in the stellarium root directory wich sometimes doesn't disappear when you uninstall then upgrade. I allways solved my problems by making sure it's deleted after running the uninstall, and then installing the upgrade - that might do the trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Cheers for that Kim, will have a go at unistalling it, then remove any other files that are still there then try again. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I allways solved my problems by making sure it's deleted after running the uninstall, and then installing the upgrade - that might do the trick i was going to surgest this action yesterday but was unsure if that would make any differance to the problem your having, i have heard that not deleting the config.ini file has caused problems with upgrades in the past though so it might be worth doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Worth a shot, thanks for all your help guys, let you know later on when I give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tweedledum Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hi Darren, I have the complete package on dvd, if you need a copy let me know I'll pop one in the post. Have three versions on pc here all work fine on w7, same on netbook which is xp. Ok on W7 laptop and ok on w2000 laptop. Check your update history to see if there has been an update to your graphics card, I would re-install the drivers for that also if you are having line drawing issues. Its not the config.ini for stellarium it is SSystem.ini. If you do a search for this file, make sure you are using admin privileges as you will probably find three copies of it. Delete each copy and reload stellarium then. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tweedledum Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Darren. Drop me a pm with your email and I'll send :- default_config.ini ssystem.ini For V 0.11.1 Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz Type-R Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 So I should be all right with just replacing the 2 files you have given me, then fire Stellarium up? Or will I still need to delete all the SSystem.ini files then copy yours into the directory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tweedledum Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Do a windows search on your c: drive, this should highlight where the ini files are hiding, safest is to delete then upload with new, or simply copy & over-write.
