I have noticed when displaying this star on version 4.3.0 it's location is different than where some other programs have it. For example astronomy.com, Wikipedia, earthsky.org etc.

Good it works and thanks for the feedback :) Han

Hello Short answer: yes. Working as advertised. Long answer: was not easy as I decided to bring back my Linux Mint installation back to somewhere when I knew hnsky was working alright. My Linux laptop is my... euh... 'playground' where this 65 years old test if an old dog can really learn new tricks. As of now the answer is: most of the time. So I take images (with timeshift) of my system before 'playing'. I had done some stuff that failed and I had this notion that this did not help. But during...

The problem is fixed in HNSKY version 4.3.2b. Mint 21.3 has one of the latest openssl and this was not accessed properly by HNSKY. This is now fixed. Can you try again? Unfortunately due to the error the asteroid file in ~/.hnsky the size increased to 4 gbyte. This should be ignored by this latest version and it should allow an quick update of the asteroid database reducing the size less then one mbyte. Does this work for you? Cheers, Han

I have Mint installed here. Similar problems here. I will look for the cause.

Strange. I don't think uninstalling will help. Maybe it helps if you delete the asteroid file in your home directory. It should be in at ~/.hnsky/hns_ast.ast or at ~/.hnsky/hns_ast.dat Maybe the file is protected. I will install Linux Mint 21.3 in a virtual machine and see if I can recreate the problem here. More later. Han

Hi. Just tried again and got the same result: an empty program. Strange. Yes 'openssl' is installed. The only thing I haven't tried yet is removing everything and re-installing. I guess that's what's left to do. Bummer. Regards François Proulx, Longueuil, Québec,Canada

Hi François, I had a quick look to the working in Lubuntu 22 but here it all works fine. I you change the number of asteroids to e.g. to something large like 5000, then do you see any kbytes value in the status bar increasing due to downloading? It is also possible that "openssl"is not installed. Can you try to install opensll ? This is required for https communication. If that helps then I have to improve the error message. Cheers, Han

Hello Life is intruding so I installed the new version only after having my laptop repaired (mother board half burned). No idea how this happened. But the new version works correctly... if I don't try to update the asteroids and comets database. When I try to update, I get 'MPCORB.DAT conversion problem, Erreur' and 'CometEls.txt conversion problem, Erreur'. Now when I close this (I tried all 3 buttons and get always the same result) and later close the program, when I restart the program I go back...

Success, I was able to remove the installation, which wasn't straight forward. After that all went well with the re-install into the program files directory👍I also had to re install ASTAP and the D50 data base. I like to use HNSKY to select (click on) objects to image, NINA imports into its sequencer, and scope goes where it thinks it is, but isn't, then NINA uses ASTAP to plate solve and bingo the object and it's image is always centered. Now if I had a clear sky to try it all out... Thanks.

The installer request Windows if there is already an existing HNSKY installtion. If so it just install in the same place. So somehow you have to remove the existing from Windows using the Windows remove/uninstall menus. If that doesn't work next the next option is to use registry editor to remove HNSKY.
-
Yes, I will try the uninstall again, didn't work last time to correct the condition. Unknown as to why. I can try to install the themes version that might work as well. I shall report back here if I still have no solution. I figure there is a place in memory where the installers look to see if there is a path that pre exists and if so should ask if you want to install there, but I can't recall seeing that when I tried to load the update files else I'd have taken the option to change the destination...
-
Ho Robert, Just uninstall the HNSKY program. Then reinstall and it will ask for the directory where to install. See attached. You could download a new installer. I just recompiled the hnsky_themes.exe version which shows a little nicer buttons and so on. Han

Problem installing on windows machine. Software defaults to a Onedrive folder but it states it cannot find ... I have a second machine at the scope where when install updates launch it defaults to Program files without issue. Note that the software used to install fine on the windows laptop until Onedrive wanted money for more space and I tried to delete Onedrive, I have 4 T-bytes of my own space. So I think there must be some file somewhere defining where hnsky is to install, and I need to figure...

Hi Carl, The databases information is presented after selecting the menu HELP, Database in use. The program version is mentioned in the Help, About in the second line. Latest version is 4.2.15f. If you find any other problem, please report. Regards, Han

Hi, Han, great piece of software, thank you. A minor suggestion, but IMHO, it would be nice if the "about" dialogue showed the detected DB version, as well as the program version information... Thanks.

Hello Yes!! This worked. And the asteroids and comets are now visible. It's 13h45 now so it will have to wait for sundown to really check it. Thank you François Proulx, Longueuil, Québec, Canada

Try version 4.2.15f: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hnsky/files/linux_installer/hnsky_amd64.deb/download

I think I found the cause. I see the same here running Lubuntu 22. The libssl is upgraded and the compiler used for HNSKY can't handle HTTPS transmission. Luckily the latest compiler seems to fix it. I will prepare a new version now. Han

Hello Tried it. But it does not seem to work as the databases do not appear when I try searching for a comet or an asteroid. It was relatively easy to update the databases just more manipulations. But as I said it failed. But send the files any way, I may have made a mistake. The firewall as been running every times and in all my installations and never caused any problems. I will try to uninstall and re-install everything later. Tonight I am tired. I will wait and see as I am in the Beta of LMDE6....
-
Hi François, At the moment I have no good idea how to solve this. Is there some firewall running? Maybe the best way forward is to wait a little and hopefully a LMDE update will fix this. Can you for the time being install the files manually? If I remember correctly they are installed in .hnsky folder. (I'm running mostly Windows). I can send you the files if required. Cheers, Han

Oups, spoke too soon... Unable to update comets and asteroids database. I just get a date/time with erreur beside the update button. No idea what's going on. The computer is connected thru wifi. Regards François Proulx, Longueuil, Québec, Canada

Hello Just a quick note: my laptop now runs on LMDE6 beta now and I had no problems with the installation. The program is running very well. Regards François Proulx, Longueuil, Québec, Canada
-
Hello Yes. This worked very well. ran out of time to try it good but right now everything seems back to normal. Thank you so very much regards François Proulx, Longueuil, Québec, Canada

I could not remove the dependency in my new virtual machine so I compiled HNSKY in an older virtual machine Lubuntu 20.04. This version works in Debian 11.1. Download again from: http://www.hnsky.org/hnsky_amd64.deb Tell me if this version works for you I will keep the .xz compression. I have learned that it is better not to upgrade too fast. I will keep on compiling in the new virtual machine. Moving it to an older virtual machine is too much hassle for the moment. If you need an new version for...
