Every other body with the exception of earth, are just blank spheres. with their "respective" colors that is.

Is this a bug in 1.5.1 or just my gfx? I'm running dual Planar1711M monitors on an Nvidia Quadro NVS 285 card by the way. Here's my xorg.conf

# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings

# nvidia-settings:  version 1.0  (buildd@vernadsky)  Thu Jun  5 09:26:53 UTC 2008



# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)

#

# This file was generated by failsafeDexconf, using

# values from the debconf database and some overrides to use vesa mode.

#

# You should use dexconf or another such tool for creating a "real" xorg.conf

# For example:

#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

I just fired it up here, and just have white spheres for all the planets (except Earth) too. :unsure:

Let me look into this, because all the textures were there when I last used Celestia.

EDIT:

The problem is that Debian seems to have moved the textures to "nonfree". Not sure of the reason, nor do I care.

Reference: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/c...tia/+bug/291681

Solution: sudo apt-get install celestia-common-nonfree

      On xiaomi hyperos there's also an option to disable google assistant. I've got everything disabled. Only thing I do have installed is a web wrapped for duck.ai which claims to let you use various AIs anonymously

      I need to understand the rationale of not shipping all of these K2 improvements in a single update/release. It's giving "we will fix Windows 11 but no commitments". It seems to me that they just announce these improvements just to appease the community.

      The term "RTM" is long gone starting with Windows 10. Every current release is a GA build. This is the result of MS making Windows as a Service (WaaS).

      Looks like no official TBW rating, which should be a required listing in my opinion for sites like Amazon (hell, put it on the box too.)
