Sorry, upstream explicitly don't want bug reports for cards older than nv30 (yours is nv18, current is ~nv120): http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/MesaDrivers/
Changing the error message (at http://sources.debian.net/src/mesa/10.3.2-1/src/mesa/drivers/dri/nouveau/nv10_render.c/#L104 ) to something more useful, e.g. - assert(0); + assert(0 && "This application requires GLdouble vertex buffers, which your graphics card does not support. Try software rendering (LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 <application>)."); is probably about all that is reasonable to do as a Debian/Ubuntu patch. ** Tags removed: quantal third-party-packages ** Tags added: patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1079011 Title: stellarium assert failure: nv10_state_fb.c:50: get_rt_format: Assertion `0' failed.
