dont know why it worked, but heres what i did, i looked in the ckan directory, opened the guiconfig.xml and change the look for update on start from true to false, saved, started right up.

I'm having the same problem, after a while without playing ksp when I opened the Ckan today the same problem happened, that frustrate message showed up, I cannot install any mod by Ckan, I'm looking for solutions for more than 3 hours, looks like nobody knows how to solve this problem! =(

[zuyos]

As an alternative to editing the file you can just select continue when the error message comes up and when ckan starts you can go to setting->CKAN Settings and untick "Check for CKAN updates on launch". Restart and it should work.

I've been having this issue myself since yesterday but your workaround seems to fix it... Thanks!

Any idea on what might be causing this?

[avghunter]

WORKAROUND:

Go to your CKAN folder in your ksp directory, right click on the GUIConfig.xml file and select edit. You will see the auto-update flags as this: <CheckForUpdatesOnLaunch>true</CheckForUpdatesOnLaunch>

<CheckForUpdatesOnLaunchNoNag>true</CheckForUpdatesOnLaunchNoNag>

Change the first line to false and the second line to true if it ins't already.

if the auto-update dialog still pops up, hit the red "x" button in the top right corner (don't choose one of the options).

It should now work.

You might want to post a link to the issue tracker for this issue so that people can follow along with any progress. A little bit of attribution to the solution wouldn't hurt either.
