So, I'm back after my summer hibernation...
I'm at my remote observatory in Germany, removed the cobwebs, the spiders etc...
The remote server is always on and get constant updates, so that's good. Uptime of 127 days so far.

Now, the VM, started it, updated it and wanted to check Ekos... wow, all I get in an empty top bar with:
Settings , Help

Have I missed something or is my vm borked?


edit:
kstars version
indi@indi-VirtualBox:~$ dpkg -l | grep kstar
ii kstars-bleeding 5:16.04+r5727.253~ubuntu16.04.1 amd64 desktop planetarium for KDE
ii kstars-bleeding-data 5:16.04+r6009.2619~ubuntu16.04.1 all data files for KStars desktop planetarium
indi@indi-VirtualBox:~$

a "apt-get dist-upgrade" has done the trick... lol
