Uhh, Larinax Solar System is no longer being maintained by me, so what is it doing on CKAN???

It's still on CKAN because you selected the CKAN option when you put it on Spacedock, and it's still there (on Spacedock). Also, the forum thread for it still shows it as being an active mod (though WIP), and that you are seeking a replacement maintainer. Why would we make it unavailable through CKAN when it is still available through Spacedock?

Good point, although I accidentally selected as marked on CKAN on SpaceDock. Keep it on there for now I suppose.

Well, obviously, we have no way to know why or how you selected that option, only that you did.

It's worth remembering also that not selecting the CKAN option on Spacedock does not mean that the mod won't be listed on CKAN. If a CKAN user asks for a given mod to be listed, we will generally do so, barring some legal block. Since you have licensed Larinax under CC-BY-SA-NC, you've given us irrevocable permission to distribute it.

Okay, thanks :).

There is new mod released recently: LaserDist. It is under GPL v3 licence. Reason why not is on CKAN is, I belive, lack of free time to go trough ckan documentaion and make it available. But can't hurt to ask @Steven Mading about it if you are in doubt.

This small mod is usable to regular users, not to mention one that also use kOS.

I already made a PR for it on NetKan when I first released it.  It's still awaiting a merge.

Hmm having issues with new version, when I try to launch it, it gives error with "Could not find KSP version in readme.txt" Nvm! Fixed it by moving CKAN.exe to KSP folder <.<

I am getting a 404 error when updating 2 mods:

  • KSP interstellar extended
  • SpaceX Landing Legs

The error shows this: 

Failed to download "https://spacedock.info/mod/172/KSP Interstellar Extended/download/1.8.28" - error: Error in remote server: (404) Not found.

This was happening to me even before updating to this new version. I have tried installing new mods and it works.

Can you download the mods from SpaceDock directly? SpaceDock has had specific geographical issues with its CDN before:

I see that Spacedock direct download throws me another 404 error. 

Not Found

The requested URL /svendii_2817/SpaceX_Landing_Legs/SpaceX_Landing_Legs-1.3.zip was not found on this server.

Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at cdn.spacedock.info Port 80

So... Can I do anything to solve this? Maybe bypass this CDN to make it work with another?

Report it in the Spacedock thread. They'll need to make space on the relevant server.

I'm getting this error regularly in Windows on random mods:

Checking the CKAN\downloads folder in my KSP directory shows no files. I've tried clearing my cache beforehand too - It seems like CKAN is trying to open the zip file before it's downloaded, which is weird.

Educated guess at the problem: Windows won't let CKAN download stuff to a location in Program Files.

It's generally not a good idea to mod your steam install anyway (because steam auto-updates can suddenly break mods without warning).  My advice would be to copy the entire "Kerbal Space Program" folder to somewhere outside of Program Files and mod it there.  Some other stuff ends up being messed up from having KSP in Program Files too.

Alternate, bad, ugly solution that will let you use everything where it is but I highly do not recommend:

Spoiler

Run CKAN as an administrator every time (i.e. right click -> "run as administrator"

Ok, I'm in the "trying to use CKAN to install a non-updated metadata thing MOD. 

Used the search button here and got a post going here:

https://github.com/KSP-CKAN/CKAN/pull/1499

And now I don't know what to do with that... O.o 

 

PS: I DID try to change the version number from 1.1.2 to 1.1.0 in readme.txt Kerbal folder....

but it still doesn't let me.

I'll keep that in mind, and maybe change the permissions for that download folder - This didn't happen in 1.16, but I did clear out my CKAN directory for a fresh install.

This all said, maybe it would be better to run a permissions check on target directories on CKAN's startup, as to avoid unhandled exceptions?

I'm a mac user, and so on the download page it asks me to ' mozroots --import --ask-remove'. Could you explain that? I get the feeling it's something to put in terminal, but I just want to make sure, because I'm probably wrong.

After update today, no longer runs in Ubuntu 14.04 64bit.....................................

Oh dear. Is this happening with the command-line as well as for the GUI? We recently discontinued support for Mono 3.2.8, as we were hitting a bunch of bugs in it, but I'm guessing 14.04 still ships with 3.2.8 by default.

You can upgrade mono by using the mono project's ppa , which cut'n'pasting is done with:
 

Spoiler

 

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF

echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list

sudo apt-get update


 

And then upgrading as per normal.

Having said that, I'd personally love us to keep supporting Ubuntu 14.04 as it is a long term release, so if I get a chance I'll see if I can find what the 3.2.8 bugs were that we are hitting and if we can work around them.
