![]() ![]() I have seen first hand the problems of Stellarium crashing on loading but in all cases new video drivers (post Sep 2008) have fixed the problem immediately. Many card makers do not directly support OpenGL so it takes time to get updated drivers. Many of the video chip makers have not caught up with these changes to upgrade their drivers, particularly the older cards.īecause we build with freeware we need OpenGL for 3d displays rather than microsoft's Direct X. Most of this has been in the display area which is allowing much faster loading. Qt has been evolving extremely fast with three upgrades in 2008 and another expected very soon. When we were building with SDL there were many features asked for that could not be implemented so we moved to the Qt platform which is quickly becoming the platform framework of choice. In developing programs we need to use current building frameworks that are freeware. Sorry to the people having trouble with stellarium version 0.10.1. Model : Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controllerĭate of Manufacture : Wednesday, 16 April 2003 My Display drivers are the latest available. The program hangs the second I click on the Stellarium icon. Pushed the power button to restart my system, restarted, and then went to Application Data to find the Log file. I re-installed V0.10.1 just to see what the log file would have in it after the crash.Ĭrashed exactly the same as before. The config.ini is for 9.1 so the 10.1 version has already been overwritten.īefore I go any further I thought it best to let you know this information. I notice that the above log.txt refers to v10.1. I had deleted 10.1 and re-installed 9.1 and 9.1 is working properly. Invalid openGL operation in StelPainter::revertToQtPainting() "C:/Documents and Settings/owner/Application Data/Stellarium"Ĭonfig file is: "C:/Documents and Settings/owner/Application Data/Stellarium/config.ini"Īttempting to use an existing older config file. Writing log file to: "C:/Documents and Settings/owner/Application Data/Stellarium/log.txt"Ġ. Processor name: Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo CPU T2250 1.73GHz Total virtual memory: 2047 MB (unreliable) particularly if the new version has been installed without uninstalling the older versions.Ĭ:\Program Files\Stellarium\stellarium.exe Remove the older one and let the program generate a new one. Probably the first place to look at is the config.ini file. Other than these the only other problems causing have been syntax errors in the ssystem.ini file, stars.ini file and old versions of the config.ini file that don't get overwritten by the new version. This driver I was able to update via the control panel/system/hardware automatically by telling it to update the driver. The Nvidia Gforce2 card needed an up graded driver but did not crash it just ran slow. My laptop has an intel 965 display and it crashed initially till I located the new intel screen driver. I had touble with the SiS drivers in version nine and an update fixed the problem I have had no trouble with SiS since. Most of the problems are due to the "gui" and the Qt 4.4.3 framework needing upgrades to video drivers. The program has been extensively tested on many systems but we can't test everything. If anything has been done it will indicate where the program stopped. We have the permissions to use these but need to write the necessary interfaces.įor those who are having trouble look in your documents and settings\yourname\application data\stellarium and see what is in the log file. There is a new method of inserting nebula photos with the eventual facility to display DSS sky views. There has been a lot of not immediately noticeable changes to make the display more lifelike including user control of how and what is displayed. This has been added to by third party ascom control software. Yes telescope control has been reinstated and the search feature repaired. This will be improved on bit by bit as new software is created. The new release has all the deficiencies of the 0.10.0 beta release corrected although we still only have a rudimmentary scripting feature. I have the package ready but I don't have the facilities to upload it and it is too big to send to the project leader by email so we may need to wait till someone else can make a package or I can get permission to upload it. The Windows version is waiting on the program being up loaded to. The Mac and Linux packages are on the site ready for download. The new release of version 0.10.1 is underway. ![]()
