I'm getting what I think is the same problem. Stellarium crashes on startup with a segmentation fault. This is the text that appears in a terminal:

adam@a:~$ stellarium

This is on a Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 running Xubuntu 9.10. I believe the graphics card is an ATI Radeon 7000. (Before I changed to Xubuntu, Stellarium worked fine on Windows XP.)

Please update to 0.10.4

[markusd112 (markusd112)]

I have the same problem under Ubuntu 9.10 with stellarium 0.10.4 on an IBM laptop Thinkpad R40 which has a ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 graphics card: it crashes during startup with a segmentation fault

[Scott Howard (showard314)]

Hi Markus, could you make it crash and submit the apport crash report [1] to this bug? We'd like to see the stack trace for your segfault.

Thanks.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport [1]

[Scott Howard (showard314)]

Just saw you are using 0.10.4, apport won't work. Could you use gdb [1]? Thanks.

[Zdeněk Janák (janak)]

I had the same problem on ATI Radeon 9200 PRO. Disable Option EnablePageFlip in Device Section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf fix it. It should looks like this

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Device0"
        Driver "radeon"
        Option "EnablePageFlip" "off"
EndSection

Or just comment out or remove the line, becose disable is the default value for radeon driver.

[Bogdan Marinov (daggerstab)]

Thank you for the work-around! Is there a more user-friendly (i.e. graphical) way of doing this?

Also, the bug status has been changed to "In Progress". Who is working on it?

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

[This is an automatic notification.]

Hi Andy,

This bug was reported against an earlier version of Ubuntu, can you
test if it still occurs on Lucid?

Please note we also provide technical support for older versions of
Ubuntu, but not in the bug tracker. Instead, to raise the issue through
normal support channels, please see:

    http://www.ubuntu.com/support

If you are the original reporter and can still reproduce the issue on
Lucid, please run the following command to refresh the report:

  apport-collect 481669

If you are not the original reporter, please file a new bug report, so
we can work with you as the original reporter instead (you can reference
bug 481669 in your report if you think it may be related):

  ubuntu-bug xorg

If by chance you can no longer reproduce the issue on Lucid or if you
feel it is no longer relevant, please mark the bug report 'Fix Released'
or 'Invalid' as appropriate, at the following URL:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/481669

[adama (adamaitkenhead)]

I've tested this on Xubuntu Lucid / Stellarium 0.10.4, and the problem is no longer there: Stellarium now starts and runs without crashing. Thanks to everyone who's looked into this.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

[Resetting to incomplete since we need a response from the original reporter on this].

[paul (imtheluckyone)]

I've just installed Stellarium and I get the same error. I have a tx2-1160ea with ati radeon card, using the ati/amd proprietary fglrx driver.

Let me know what info I can provide to help.

[Fabien Chéreau (xalioth)]

Can you try the trick described by Zdeněk Janák:

"I had the same problem on ATI Radeon 9200 PRO. Disable Option EnablePageFlip in Device Section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf fix it. It should looks like this

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Device0"

[paul (imtheluckyone)]

I can't use this trick as I have no xorg.conf. Do you have any other ideas?

[sunbird (sunbird)]

Oops, I added a comment to another bug (#560779) but I think this is actually the bug that I'm having. I have a NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT.

This is on lucid, x64.

[Daniel Alomar i Claramonte (daniel.adastra)]

Hi Fabien,

I've already tried the solution proposed by Zdeněk Janák with no success.

Ubuntu 10.04
Mobility Radeon X1300
Stellarium 0.10.5 (from PPA repositories)
Stellarium svn

[Ichthyostega (ichthyo)]

Same for me
 * Ubuntu Lucid 32bit
 * Mobility Radeon X1600 using the open source "radeon" driver
 * Stellarium 0.10.4

[AJenbo (ajenbo)]

Please try the latest 0.10.5-ubuntu1 in lucid or maverick.

[Paul White (paulw2u)]

I've also experienced this bug using an ATI Radeon X300 and version 0.10.5 on Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick).

I upgraded my video card to a ATI Radeon HD4350 and got a segmentation fault with the fglrx driver. Using the standard driver, stellarium starts but there is no text anywhere in the program, including the splash screen!

I have no problems with Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) using either video card by the way.

[Dave (davem99)]

I get the same result on maverick i386. I have an ATI Radeon Mobility 9200 GPU with the default driver

[Matthew Gates (matthew-porpoisehead)]

From the dmesg output it seems like a video driver problem. You might try running with:

  stellarium --safe-mode

...which uses OpenGL v1 and turns off GL shaders). I think this --safe-mode option was introduced in Stellarium 0.10.5.

[Dino Conte (dermitdemdino)]

... the same error with --safe-mode.

Same problem for me with "stellarium --safe-mode" in Konsole
I submitted the problem in https://sourceforge.net/projects/stellarium/forums/forum/278769/topic/3959724/index/page/1
but it comes from the open source driver (which also makes the CPU working at 100% all the time), not from Stellarium

[cpcbegin (cpcbegin)]

I have the same problem if I try stellarium --safe-mode

[Matthew Gates (matthew-porpoisehead)]

I tried to look in the source of the Linux kernel at this message
which appears in the dmesg output. The code where it happens is in
the DRI driver and I simply don't know what it is doing. Some sort of
allocation of buffers and is clearly not able to allocate as much as
is wanted. I don't know what exactly.

It might be for a texture. Our biggest texture is m42dumont.png in the
default nebula set. This is a long shot but maybe someone could try
it and tell me if this helps:

Please execute these commands in the terminal:

$ mkdir -p ~/.stellarium/nebulae/default
$ cd ~/.stellarium/nebulae/default
$ wget http://porpoisehead.net/images/m42dumont.png
$ stellarium

If that doesn't work, try running with the --safe-mode option just in case.

What this will do is download a smaller version of this texture from
my web site and use it instead of the installed version.

Same problem here on Ubuntu 10.10 (32 bits), using my laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon x1400. Unfortunately, this card isn't supported by fglrx anymore...
Is there any progress on this case?

Obviously, this is display specific, and as shown in the attached log, all X11 setting are by default and configuration is computed on each X11 start-up.
I did not find any X11 configuration tool to test different settings.

Definitely not "In Progress"...

confirmed with Stellarium 0.10.5 and latest ubuntu + radeon drivers

[Oibaf (oibaf)]

This sounds a duplicate of bug #557266.

[Medor (bogkuz)]

Updating system with repos

https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates

helped me.

[Pieter Barendrecht (pieter-redpanda)]

Thanks Medor, this solved my problems as well!

- First added the x-updates repo, downloaded some packages via the Update Manager (about 1MB). Didn't solve the problem.
- Next, added the xorg-edgers repo, downloaded more packages (about 16 MB), problem solved.

I think it is possibe to only use the xorg-edgers repo, but please correct me if I'm mistaken. These are the newest X.org packages, the other repo contains slightly older but more stable packages.

Finally Stellarium works again! Of course, skies are clouded at the moment ;).

Hello,

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

xorg-edgers won't help, since the required fix is a kernel patch, not X.

Rather, you need to apply this patch to your kernel.
Or maybe try using one of the mainline kernel builds at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

The fix from upstream is against the kernel drm tree for radeon rather than X:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=43b93fbffc2c080dba2e84df6fce8d7e6c0a2581

@JFo, please add to kernel team's todo list.

[Brad Figg (brad-figg)]

This bug was filed against a series that is no longer supported and so is being marked as Won't Fix. If this issue still exists in supported series, please file a new bug.

[treaves (treaves)]

So let me see if I understand this correctly: with a confirmed defect, all you need to do is wait for the supported product to no longer be supported, then decide to not fix it? And put the onus back on the user to do the regression testing?

That's a pretty slick racket!

[Oibaf (oibaf)]

This isn't a stellarium bug but a kernel issue, already fixed in natty.

Hi, what is this problem?
Iǜe Ubuntu 12.0.4 installed into a Vaio FE21 Notebook with 2GB ram an GeForce 7600GO, but it not start and stopped for many time into screen report.Loaded plugin "TimeZoneConfiguration" . :(
