[gen2 regression mesa ] Stellarium + Trusty 14.04: white screen

[jdt37b]

Hello,

I try to solve the following bug in the new version LTS (unsuccessful in versions 12.10, 13.04, 13.10)

Problem displaying a white screen with Stellarium 0.12.4 (no view of the sky, or stars)

- Xubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty (3.13.0.13 kernel)
- Graphics Card Intel Corporation 82865G
- OpenGL packages libgl1-mesa-dri, libgl1-mesa-glx, libglapi version 10.1.0 in Trusty

Results with packet version 10.1.0:
"Grep Chipset / var/log/Xorg.0.log"

Important : Stellarium 0.12.4 + Trusty LTS with the same package libgl... downgrades in version 8.0.4 (those Precise LTS) is OK !

-> OpenGL supported version: "1.3 Mesa 10.1.0-rc1" (not 9.2.2)

Stellarium + Trusty with the same package libgl... downgrades in version 8.0.4 (those Precise is OK, because :

When Stellarium start :
"Going to initialize the OpenGL 2 renderer
OpenGL supported version: "1.3 Mesa 8.0.4"
Qt GL paint engine is: "OpenGL"
StelQGL2Renderer::init : Failed because Qt paint engine is not OpenGL2
If paint engine is OpenGL3 or higher, this code needs to be updated
Failed to initialize the OpenGL 2 renderer, falling back to the OpenGL 1 renderer
OpenGL supported version: "1.3 Mesa 8.0.4"
Qt GL paint engine is: "OpenGL"
GL vendor is "Tungsten Graphics, Inc"
GL renderer is "Mesa DRI Intel(R) 865G x86/MMX/SSE2" "

This falling back to OpenGL 1 avoids having to choose, for example, from the outset between Abiword and Stellarium ... before more trouble !

Hey jdt37b, I posted something similar, please check it out if it works for you, so moderators can mark as duplicate mine post: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1303874

Diego Urbina,
Thank you for the info.
This is obviously the same problem with a 82865G card. Mesa version 9 is incompatible with some applications (eg Stellarium) from Quantal 12.10 and today 14.04 LTS Trusty (but GoogleEarth is ok).
The amendment was made in 2012 in version 8 mesa was corrected the same problem that existed at launch LTS Precise.
But today, the 82865G card that was qualified by an expert in this forum of "historical card" (... not to say "Jurassic Card") there is (alas) unlikely that the same correction is made in mesa 9, unless we are likely to report the problem.
Downgrade mesa 8.0.4 with Trusty is ok (eg Stellarium works), but it is already beginning to pose problems of compatibility with Abiword is therefore only temporary relief solution, still dream a correction mesa 9 !
Good day.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Just for the record, I have the same problem on my Dad's machine.
Same 82865G graphics card, all worked under Precise but since upgrading to Trusty (and some time struggling with Stellarium 0.13 before getting 0.12.4) I get the white screen and the same errors as above.
I am seriously thinking of going back to Precise - there was nothing wrong with it & it still gets updates.

In case anyone is still stuck with this...
I am now running a windoze version of Stellarium through Wine. No special settings, Wine worked out what to do with the installer & even gave me an icon. Everything seems to be working OK.
