Bug Description
After the recent upgrade Stellarium crashes every time (even after rm -rf ~/.stellarium) about 15 seconds (plus/minus 0.75 seconds) after starting up with the following error message:
Failure getting IP-based location:

I went on irc for help and alexwolf provided the following workaround which fixed the problem:
Open ~/.stellarium/ config. ini and change all three instances of http:// stellarium... to https:/ /www.stellarium...
After making this change stellarium works absolutely fine. Thank you.
