On the Satellite Configuration / Settings page, I have the ‘update frequency’ set to 24 hours. However, the latest update was on November 27. I also pressed the ‘update now’ button. The screen is displaying ‘Updating now…’ but there has been no actual update for over 30 minutes. Can you please advise me? Thank you..

What do you see in user-dir/log.txt (F`->Log)?

[ 74.007][WARN] [Satellites] FAILED to download "file:///usr/local/share/satellites/orbit.aspx?satid=31116" Error: "Error opening /usr/local/share/satellites
...
(But later some successes.)

Jay and Paul,

Thanks for your responses. I restarted the program and now it is successfully updating the TLEs.
