celestia-gnome ver. 1.3.2-2build1 always crashes

confirmed in dapper drake as of 27/2/2006 with version: 1.3.2-3.1build1

Works for me 9 March, AMD64 X2, Nvidia nForce4, 6800 GT, celestia-gnome 1.3.2-3.1build1.

Confirmed here. Ubuntu Breezy Ati 9250 (R280) radeon driver. Other 3d apps work.

Works in dapper, as of 03-13-06.

celestia-gnome 1.3.2-3.1build1

also works in dapper for me, so I think we can close this bug.

I don't think so - I'm reporter of this bug, so I think you can close this bug only if this bug is unreproducible on my system or I'm not responding...

The bug seems to be fixed in dapper, which is why I think we can close this bug, but it's true I am not quite sure it is the policy.
Can you reproduce this bug on dapper ?

It the problem arises only in breezy and is fixed in dapper, you should request a backport:
see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports

The report and confirmation both seem to use ATI video cards (R280s). Could someone with an R280 chip confirm the problem still exists in Dapper?

Hello all.
Witn an ATI Radeon 9500

 ... it it could help.

Confirming. Btw, it seems I found one more simmilar bugreport - bug #34650

Works perfectly with nvidia and standard ubuntu. I think this is likely an upstream graphics driver issue. I have seen issues with ati and celestia previously which were upstream

I have similar problem with celestia-gnome ver. 1.3.2-3.1ubuntu3 on dapper.
Here is the output:

I have ATI Radeon R200 QL [Radeon 8500 LE].
It worked on "original" dapper (no 3D acceleration with my card) but does not work with ATI drivers (other 3D software works).

I can confirm that this bug is still a problem for some Dapper users. Repeatedly, and after several fresh installs, Celestia crashes, and freezes my laptop with a "black screen of death."

I have an Intel 900 accelerated graphics card. Celestia works fine for me in my windows partition.

Both the Gnome and the KDE version of Celestia crash.

Does this still occur in Edgy or Feisty?

actually, the last celestia version is 1.4.1 works great for me, the current release in MOTU repository (1.3.2) is no more maintained by celestia developers team.
i had a little bug in 1.3.2 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/celestia/+bug/104375), but it no more exist in 1.4.1, may be you should give the latest version (http://www.shatters.net/celestia/download.html) a try.
i just wonder when the new version will be ported in the repositories, i found that 1.3.2 remains even in gusty ! (http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/science/)

Celestia version 1.4.1 is available for Gutsy now so if you could please test with it that would be great. This seems like something you should be able to test with the Desktop CD and Tribe 4 came out yesterday. You can learn more at about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/tribe4 .

I have a radeon X850 card, 2G of RAM Pentium 4 class machine 3.6 GHz
Celestia-gnome 1.4.1 on gusty release final crashes for me with the following errors:

im also getting alot of crashes on a intel x3100 graphic card
stellarium on the other hand works perfectly so it might not be a driver problem

Same problem with Hardy x64, Celestia 1.5.0

Closing celestia task until further non-ATI users reproduce the identical crash.

Per a decision made by the Ubuntu Kernel Team, bugs will longer be assigned to the ubuntu-kernel-team in Launchpad as part of the bug triage process. The ubuntu-kernel-team is being unassigned from this bug report. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies for more information. Thanks.

Can you confirm that this bug is still reproducible on a latest Ubuntu release?
If not, can you close it?

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.

As you see it's about radeon (look before last line)

Thank you for posting this bug.

Does this occur in Lucid?

This crashes for me on Mint 9 (based on Lucid). I get the following output on the terminal:

The window appears, but is blank (the desktop shows through), and turns gray (from Compiz's unresponsive program detection). When I try to close the window, the dialog pops up asking if I want to force it to quit. If I do that, the window disappears, but the process continues to run. I cannot kill it, stop it, or end it through the System Monitor. It continues to run even if I quit the terminal I started it in. I must completely log out/reboot to get rid of it, otherwise it takes up 100% of my CPU, slowing down my computer.

The KDE version works fine, so it is apparently something related to the Gnome-specific elements.

I'm running Linux Mint 9 (basically Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid with a few extras added), with an ATI Technologies Inc M880G [Mobility Radeon HD 4200] GPU.

I'm sorry, this is with celestia-gnome version 1.6.0.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10, and celestia 1.6.0. and have a Radeon card and the bug is there for me too on a Compaq Presario 1500 pentium 4

forgot to say it keeps reporting a segmentation error when it crashes.
