I'm assuming there is something wrong with the TLE entries. Is there anyway I could get an updated satellite.json file?

If you remove the file /home/jason/.stellarium/modules/Satellites/satellites.json and then start Stellarium, a fresh one will be copied from the plugin. However, you might also have to add some entries in the [Satellites] section of the config.ini file because we now have more sources. If you edit the /home/jason/.stellarium/config.ini file and delete the whole of the [Satellites] section, a new one will be added when Stellarium starts up.

You should do the edit and the removal of the satellites.json file when Stellarium is not running.

Hope that helps

I did what you said Matthew but its still not showing any satellites. I saw one last night around 7:30 or so fly past Venus and saw it on Stellarium last night before I upgraded. Now I'm not seeing it. Also shouldn't I be able to search for satellites?

Thanks Matthew Gates, that solved my question.

Greets. I have the same problem. I updated all the satellite orbits and check-marked "Load at startup" and I am still not seeing any satellites. Please help, thanks.

What is your operating system?

Just for test: please try disable ground and look around centre of Earth.
