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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/481669 Title: Stellarium crashes on startup (ATI Radeon graphics card) _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
