Hi all,

My kstars installation was updated to 3.5 version and "plate solver" stop working properly. Kstras crashes:

Same with 3.6 beta version on Ubuntu 18.04

What does "exit code: 9" mean?

Thank you !

Probably not much help, but the internal solver CONSTANTLY crashed in OSX and Raspberrian for me with 3.5. Resorted to installing Astrometry locally and using that has solved 99% of the crashes during plate solving.

exit code: 9 is usually a kill signal sent to the process by the operating system because it is out of memory.
