Hi there. I'm running KStars/Ekos [bleeding] as a client on Xubuntu (15.10) on a Dell D830 Latitude laptop but, after about 10 minutes of operation, KStars/Ekos stops responding. I can make windows come into focus but no buttons work and the star display will not move.
The laptop has Intel Core 2 Duo T7100/1.8 GHz processors and 4 Gbytes RAM. The RAM is never more than half used but both processors are maxed out. I am running the correct NVIDIA drivers for the graphics card. Top shows that kstars is using > 90 % CPU, Xorg next at about 15%.
My question is: should this machine spec be sufficient? If so, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?
