Ubuntu Wily - Stellarium seg fault unless run as sudo

[Daves Ubuntu]

When I updated Stellarium from 0.13 to 0.14 it no longer opens. When run via terminal is only says segmentation fault, nothing else. I tried removing it along with the stellarium folders in the home directory and reinstalling, but it's still the same. I tried running it as sudo to see if there's any further info, and it starts and runs normal. What would cause the update to require sudo to run stellarium?

Are you using our PPA?

[Daves Ubuntu (bswarm-s)]

I used ppa:stellarium/stellarium-releases. I even tried purging the PPA and re-installing the old version in the Ubuntu repo but it no longer works like it did before. All my other programs that use libQt5Widgets are still working correctly.

[Alexander Wolf (alexwolf)]

I use the same PPA and I don't have a problems.

Please try remove all Stellarium's stuff (apparently you have trobules with permissions now) and install it again.

[Daves Ubuntu (bswarm-s)]

I removed all traces of Stellarium, including the folder in the home directory that was created when I ran it as root. I tried both versions in the Stellarium and Ubuntu repos, still the same segfault... "error 4 in libQt5Widgets.so.5.4.2"

[Alexander Wolf (alexwolf)]

Can you show what say ldd stellarium ?

[Daves Ubuntu (bswarm-s)]

ldd: ./stellarium: No such file or directory

Could it have anything to do with a kernel update that was done at the same time as the stellarium update? That's when it started having problems. I tried booting into the older kernel version but it still segfaults.

No, it shouldn't relates to the problem. But (!) are you had updated
drivers for graphics card in same episode?

The problem in Qt, but she caused by Stellarium. I have no idea why you has
the problem.

But you say, that it works under sudo - this say about troubles with
permissions to files/devices. Can you reinstall qt5?

[Daves Ubuntu (bswarm-s)]

I'm using the open source drivers, there was no graphics update at that time. I've already tried reinstalling the QT5 a few times. I'm not going to run it as root for obvious security reasons, so I'll just wait until Ubuntu 16.04 comes out and do a fresh install.

Any news? (If this report expires, let it expire. No need to keep single-issue reports without progress.)
