Photometric Color Calibration - Cannot download the online star catalog

I don’t know what to do with it. How do I install? Are there some instructions somewhere?

Kind regards

Steve

Make it executable, and double click on it.

BTW. I’m trying the version in PPA repositories with Ubuntu 20.04.
No issues. I can download catalogues.

Seems to work.

I’ll test properly later.

Thanks.

So this is the evidence that there is something missing in your environment as the appimage bundle everything.

But I can’t say wat.

However @Steve_Cookson: be careful. This is a beta version, almost the next release but not yet. Still 3 bugs to fix.
I will advice you to not using it and to wait for the finale release coming in few days.

The specified location is not supported isn’t this the message for GIO unsupported protocol that you’ve seen on some platforms @lock042?

No. The problem we had was with curl before.

Looks like another package is missing: gvfs-backends

Thx. Probably need to add it to the deb package.

Installing gvfs-backends has sorted it.

Great. This fixes it.

Tx.

After upgrading to ubuntu 21.04 got platesolving broken again:

04:07:06: Error loading url: http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/asu-tsv?-source=I/317&-out.meta=-h-u-D&-out.add=_r&-sort=_r&-out=%20RAJ2000%20DEJ2000%20Jmag%20Hmag&-out.max=200000&-c=0.000000+0.000000&-c.rm=25.9&Jmag=<14.89: Error while getting peer-to-peer dbus connection: Could not connect: No such file or directory

Any thoughts?

And again AppImage version works, flatpack version fails.

Strange because this time I added the missing package. My only change in the deb building process:

Package: siril
Architecture: any
Depends: ${misc:Depends},
         ${shlibs:Depends},
         siril-common (= ${source:Version}),
         librsvg2-2,
         gvfs-backends

And in the flatpack we already have:

/* Needed for gvfs to work */
        "--talk-name=org.gtk.vfs", "--talk-name=org.gtk.vfs.*"

Everything is ok with gvfs-backends, it’s another issue.

The problem with gvfs-backends produced error:
The specified location is not supported

But the new one is:
Error while getting peer-to-peer dbus connection: Could not connect: No such file or directory

OK but nothing else has changed in siril :confused:

I’m not blaming Siril)
I just warn those who want to switch to ubuntu on 21.04 that they will have to put up with the inconveniences until we figure out what the problem is.
