Hi, You have the chance Ubuntu is the primary system I use for the development. The program is then ported to rpm, windows, etc...

I have the same kind of problem with the nvidia driver "nv". But no problem with generic "vesa" or the proprietary "nvidia". On another computer it work fine with the "ati" driver. > Add the repository to your system by editing > the file /etc/apt/sources.list to add the line: > > deb http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ skychart/ This is the right method but prefer another mirror than osdn because this primary mirror is not intended for user download. I suppose this is why it can be very slow. Prefer something like: deb http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ skychart/ I just updated the documentation page with that. http://www.ap-i.net/skychart/en/documentation/install_on_linux_debian Patrick
