Not so fast rlancaste. I personally noted when I built KStars version 3.3.5 with your script some time ago, the entire notification configuration menu was missing. I have since updated it to 3.3.7 and the menu has returned.
Although interestingly enough I do not have the icons displayed in the top pull down menus as shown in your screenshot.

Rob, thanks, but that menu item "Configure Notifications" is missing from my system.
Perhaps that's a Raspbian Buster thing?

@Ihoujin: FWIW, I'm running code I compiled from the head of the git tree yesterday.

> cd ~/AstroRoot/kstars
> git log --oneline | head -4
61729fdff Adds an option to mouse-pan the HiPS graphics.
b926ba790 Use AppDataLocation on Android

Interesting. I'm running the bleeding edge on an AstroPi3 installed Kstars on an Odroid-N2 and I have the menu item "Configure Notifications". My AstroPi3 install was relatively recent (probably less than 2 weeks)>

So one thing that is probably relevant is that about 8 days ago, I accepted a pull request from Radek to add the optional dependencies libkf5notifyconfig-dev libqt5datavisualization5-dev and qt5keychain-dev. I would say all three of those are desirable packages. A raspberry pi may or may not have an audio device, but being able to configure it is useful. And the visualizations package will enable the user to make use of the 3D Star profile viewer that I made last year. And the qt keychain dependency will support logins for Ekos Live. So they are useful. So if you built since the change was made, you should be able to use the 3D Star Profile, you should be able to use the notification configuration and probably also use Ekos Live with the qt keychain. But if you built It before then, you probably don't have those features.

The 3D star profile is working at least with simulators. It performance is laggy on the RPi4 with a selection of 128 or larger.

Well, when I said I did a pull yesterday, I meant a kstars pull, not astroPi. Once installed, I don't tend to re-run AstroPi (eg just 'git pull' inside kstars and 'make -j6 kstars'). So, I just 'pulled' the new AstroPi and, yes, found the new line in the Raspian script.
I manually ran the following:
$ sudo apt -y install libkf5notifyconfig-dev libqt5datavisualization5-dev qt5keychain-dev
$ cd ~/AstroRoot/kstars-build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ../kstars
$ make -j 6 kstars
Then started up kstars with
$ ~/AstroRoot/kstars-build/kstars/kstars

and sure enough, the KStars-->Settings-->ConfigureNotifications menu was there!!!!!! (I unclicked 'Play a sound' for everything that had a sound attached).

BTW, on the topic of mods to the script, the conky window was jumping around a lot, in a sort-of annoying way (basically resizing itself every half second). I looked into it, and in ~/.conkyrc, I changed the minimum_width, which fixed things for me. In my case, I changed it to 250, but I suppose that might be dependent on what screen resolution was being used. It's much better for me after this change.

Thanks for your help,
Hy

Cool, I’m glad the star profile works on the pi. I never would have dreamed of trying it before the pi 4 came out, but it is much more powerful. I didn’t expect it to work great on the pi 4 even then, but if it’s working ok, then awesome! I guess with the pi 4 the resources limited mode is unnecessary too?

I’m glad you got it fixed Hy.

Some other folks have given me some ideas of how to make the script even better recently. I hope I will have some time soon to make some of those improvements, but I have had a lot of grading to do recently. My students have to come first. But I will get back to this soon.

I purchased a second RiP4 yesterday and was going to mess around with installing various images and try to build my own setup but this one looks so good I decided to follow the instructions on first page and I am now looking at a desktop that seems to work just fine!

My question is about updating ekos/indi/kstars. Jasem has been very helpful recently squashing some bugs in a camera driver I use. I've seen him remote to my system (I have stellarmate on my main rp4) and update it from a build minutes old.

How can I get this system to update to nightly builds? I believe I understand that I need to "git" from the source code on git hub and build it. How do I do that? Can some one help me with the command lines to get latest and compile it? Assuming I don't need other software to compile.

Very new to this.

The script will build the latest nightly kstars. So if the fixes are in the main git branch, you should be ok.

Oh ok great!

One thing more and unrelated to kstars. Conky is not transparent on the desktop. Has a black background. I didn't change anything. Everything is still brand new install scent.

I looked at the .conf file and nothing there about transparency.
