Bug Description

I am running Stellarium 0.12.4 with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bit. The computer is an HP ProBook, 8GB RAM, Intel i5-2520 2.50Ghz x4. My graphics: Gallium 0.4 on AMD CAICOS.
Stellarium locks up and becomes non responsive. Usually very quickly after I have started it. I have had it lock up when trying to change my location from Paris, France to something closer to home. It locks when I am just panning around. I can go to a console and kill the process, but when I return, the Stellarium screen is still there in full screen mode. I have to restart my GUI to get it to go away.
I am inserting my log:

Which was the version that worked for you?

If possible, you might want to upgrade to Ubuntu 15.4 which has Qt5, and run 0.13.3?
