Running Ubuntu MATE 15.10 with Compiz enabled. The X-server apparently crashes every time Stellarium is run. The crash is not immediate, I can pan and zoom the sky with no problems. The crash seems to occur as soon as I try to interact with the menus -- or if I close Stellarium. In this state, all visible GUI elements are frozen except for the mouse cursor.
The system is not completely dead -- I can still switch to a console with Ctrl-Alt-F1, and can still restart the X-server with Ctrl- Backspace. There is no problem if Compiz is disabled. Also, I have run several other full-screen 3D games and apps with no similar problems. My machine has NVIDIA, but I believe it is using Intel (Broadwell) Graphics. This error post was helpful for me because it reminded me to try without Compiz. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1437931 Title: starting stellarium causes system crash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/stellarium/+bug/1437931/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
