Hi If you have Ubuntu 11.10 or intend to upgrade to it, and you intend to use Cartes du Ciel when you load it up, it crashes with a error message about some
"TWinControl.WMSize loop detected" issue. This had me pulling my hair out. But the
fix is so easy, I thought I would give the Open Source crew a heads up
only downside you have to use the arrow keys to scroll around as the scroll bars have been turned off, but i can live with that until its fixed
to fix
Quote:
You can bypass the problem by editing the file ~/.skychart/skychart.ini
Locate the line ViewScrollBar=1
and replace by ViewScrollBar=0
Save the file and now skychart can run correctly.

BTW the issue I had was with
Pinguy OS 11.10 which is based on Ubuntu but heaps cooler. check out the screen shot of it in action
