To work around this,

Thanks for reviewing this. So I have TweakScale and TweakScale  Redistributable. I believe I only had TweakScale before. I clicked "no", right-click reinstalled TweakScale then TweakScale Redistributable then FAR Continued, then closed and reopened CKAN... got the same message. The last couple KSP sessions I just clicked "no" and it seemed to run OK.

Why not see currently installed version, and install date? 

Hi, the "AD" string in the "Installed" column stands for "auto-detected", and it means that CKAN thinks those mods were installed manually (by you, not by CKAN). So it doesn't have the information about which versions are installed or when.

I´d like to install Konstruction, but CKAN won´t let me install it. I´m new to modding and dont understand the problem, especially because the confirmed version fits mine.

The red text here means that one of the dependencies isn't marked compatible with your game version:

If you are comfortable taking the risk of installing anyway, you can tell CKAN to consider game version 1.11 as compatible:

just installed ckan, is it supposed to look like this?

Yes, follow https://github.com/KSP-CKAN/CKAN/wiki/User-guide#adding-game-folders to add your game instance.

i watched tutorials and it said there was supposed to be something in there called "auto" so i guess it isnt correct

CKAN tries to autodetect your game instance, primarily from the default Steam install location. If the game is located somewhere else it doesn't find it automatically and you have to add it manually to the list.

I'm trying to install SkyhawkKerbalism, which isn't on CKAN, and which conflicts with other Kerbalism configs, but when I tell CKAN to remove "Kerbalism - Default Config," CKAN tries to remove Kerbalism and Rational Resources Kerbalism as well (presumably because KerbalismConfig is listed as a dependency for Kerbalism and Rational Resources Kerbalism). Is there any way to remove the default config other than by removing all three from CKAN and manually installing Kerbalism and Rational Resources Kerbalism (assuming RRK is compatible with SkyhawkKerbalism)?

Edit: Nevermind, I just removed them and then re-installed Kerbalism manually (RRK appears to be unnecessary).

Notes

  • CKAN releases are built in clean-room conditions and do not contain viruses. If your virus scanner reports a problem, it's a false positive. Please report it to the company that produces your virus scanner, not us, since it's their software that's not working properly.
  • This release of the CKAN has not been tested on Mono releases prior to 5.20.0. We highly recommend that Mac and Linux users upgrade to the latest stable release of Mono from mono-project.com. You will need the equivalent of the mono-complete package for your OS.

A few notable highlights from this release...

  • Thanks to GitHub users nt0g and utah239 for translating CKAN into new languages! Your work will make CKAN more accessible to more people.
  • Thanks to @Pizzarules668, this version of CKAN will attempt to track how much time you spend playing the game and display it in various places, if you use the "Launch Game" button in CKAN. It will start from 0 since the tracking didn't exist before, but you can backfill your best guess of past play time (or copy from Steam) by clicking File → Play Time..., then editing the values in the Hours Played column.
  • This release should fix the errors related to transactions that many Windows users have been reporting while trying to install big changesets (usually RP-1). Also to help with big changesets, CKAN will no longer start multiple simultaneous downloads per host.
  • This release should also fix the chronic "scatterer" / "Scatterer" folder problems afflicting many Windows users.
  • There is now a setting to filter out certain filenames from all installs (not retroactive), which can be used to keep MiniAVC out of your GameData, for example.
  • Metadata maintainers can now override the prompt when choosing virtual dependencies by adding `choice_help_text` to a relationship, to provide users help in making choices.

Hi, I am on windows 10 home, I download ckan.exe from the newest release (ikaros) and run it, and it just brings up a blank run shell with a blinking cursor which simply sits there and does nothing at all? Edit: yes I do have .net 4.5, and I also tried running it as administrator, no dice.

Edit 2: When I go all the way back to Eddington release, and delete my CKAN folder, that one works and installs CKAN, but if I allow it to update within CKAN to Ikaros, it again closes CKAN and replaces it with an empty blinking run prompt. I will see if Eddington does what I need anyway for now.

You could try this from the top of page 17:

You might be able to get a clearer idea of what's taking so long by running it with the verbose flag from a cmd window:

ckan --show-console --verbose

or this for even more messages:

ckan --show-console --debug

How long did you wait? I had to wait almost 2 minutes for something to timeout and continue loading. Probably different issue but I found I had to set the network to "private" not "public" in Windows. Obviously assuming you're on a private network that's secure.

Hey guys,

I apologize if I have missed this somewhere, but are there any tips on using CKAN with the Steam Deck/Steam OS?  Kerbal is playing awesome, but I miss my beloved CKAN from my windows install.

I know it says CKAN works on Linux in the github, and I've tried to mess around with Mono, but honestly, I'm a linux idiot, only messing with it in passing over the years, getting confused, and just going back to windows.  But, with the Steam Deck, I'm trying to make a legit run of it.  I guess I could always just copy over my files from my working windows install, but I'd sure like to figure it out on the Steam Deck itself.  Desktop mode is no problem, and that's where I installed Mono and it said do that, but now I am stuck again.

Thanks for any help!!

I have no idea whether it's possible, but some web searching suggests you're running a Linux distro based on Arch. Doing anything non-trivial on Arch is not for the faint-hearted, and for transparency's sake we've had repeated serious problem reports from Arch users over the years, but if it's possible, this is what we know about installing on Arch so far:

Is there any chance of getting a Flatpak of ckan made for Arch Linux? (specifically SteamOS)

ckan is currently un-usable on steam deck without modifying the core OS to install mono (which is set to "immutable" by default) and breaks every time the OS updates.

I happened to look into Flatpaks myself recently, so I might look into it. But I won't give any promises, especially because I found the documentation for the maintainer side severely lacking. I also couldn't find a place where all the existing library packages are listed (like Mono), 'flatpak search' is missing many runtimes/runtime extensions/libraries, and https://flathub.org/ only shows end-user GUI applications :/
