Moving my existing rc file allows me to work around the problem and I
now have a functioning kstars !! Thank You.
I have attached my before and after rc files. I diff'd them but saw
nothing that meant anything to me. Since I know virtually nothing of
the internals of kstars, that is a low bar. Maybe you or someone else
can find a clue in them.
I haven't a clue as to what went wrong, but after following your advice
and redownloading my data files all is well. I still have my Ekos
profiles. No more snaps for me.
Again,
Thank you.
