Hi All,<br>Thanks a lot for the help. Now I have modified ~/.bashrc and ~/.gitconfig<br>And Alexey's instructions worked well. <br><br>After installing and running kstars, I found the following. <br>1. If I use QPainter, the software runs very slow (hangs). OpenGL mode works fine. I have kept star density very low (about 10%)<br>
2. In OpenGL mode, stars looked very weird. After running <b>sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev freeglut3-dev mesa-common-dev</b>, stars look better. But there is still issues with textures. <br>3. I cant see globular clusters. Ex: If I search for M13, it slews to the position of M13 but there is nothing there. Just empty space. But I can see galaxies and nebulae. <br>
<br>I have attached the screenshot of my kstars window (before installing the packages mentioned in bold letters). <br><br>Here is what I see on terminal when I run kstars.<br><br>laurad@laurad-desktop:~$ $KDEDIR/bin/kstars<br>
