Cannot open Stellarium 0.20.1

[vladimirpootz]

I am unable to open Stellarium 0.20.1 after a clean installation. When clicking on the installment, after the "initializing" of stars, location, etc... I am taken back to desktop. Has anyone experienced the same issue?

Thanks for adding your first issue to Stellarium. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

[alex-w]

Please attach log.txt from Stellarium (see Stellarium User Guide for details)

[gzotti]

Many. But only the logfile may help.

[vladimirpootz]

Where in the user in the user guide would I find more about this @alex-w ?

[alex-w]

See chapter 5 (Files and Directories)

[vladimirpootz]

Спасибо болшой! @alex-w

[vladimirpootz]

@alex-w , I am sorry. Opening the file as you have advised, I am unable to identify the problem. Might you be able to give me any further guidance as to what I should do?

[alex-w]

Just attach it in this topic (through web interface)

[vladimirpootz]

How am I to do that? Sorry, I am not a programmer lol @alex-w

[alex-w]

What about copy text from file and paste it in form for comments?

[vladimirpootz]

Might this file be under the names "change log" or "last run log" ? By trying to search for the file that you mentioned, I am only brought to these.

[alex-w]

Is stellarium works in ANGLE mode?

[vladimirpootz]

yes

[vladimirpootz]

but not as the installed application

[alex-w]

Please install drivers for graphics card from intel.com webiste

[vladimirpootz]

Intel® Graphics - Windows® 10 DCH Drivers

[vladimirpootz]

this ?

[alex-w]

Maybe. Your graphic card is Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620

[vladimirpootz]

I have went ahead and downloaded it. As the application can now open, there is major discoloration in the graphics. Perhaps it was the wrong one

[vladimirpootz]

[vladimirpootz]

this is what i see when opening stellarium @alex-w @gzotti

[alex-w]

This is definitely problem for drivers for graphics card.

[alex-w]

Please try http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html

[vladimirpootz]

[vladimirpootz]

[vladimirpootz]

it is all that I am given

[vladimirpootz]

everything is up to date...

[vladimirpootz]

still does not work

[alex-w]

This is very, very strange, because this graphics card should support OpenGL 4.6

[alex-w]

Please try https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/29560/Intel-Graphics-BETA-Windows-10-DCH-Drivers?product=126789

[gzotti]

If ANGLE works for you, just use it.

[vladimirpootz]

even more strange; while my PC uses a 64 bit operating system, the 32 bit version of stellarium works perfectly fine.

[vladimirpootz]

darn

[vladimirpootz]

well it did a second ago

[vladimirpootz]

lol

[vladimirpootz]

it no longer works

[gzotti]

even more strange; while my PC uses a 64 bit operating system, the 32 bit version of stellarium works perfectly fine.

Most Win32 applications run on Win64.

[gzotti]

https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-2004-were-already-looking-into-these-10-issues-says-microsoft/ This is nothing we can do.

[vladimirpootz]

I see... Thank you both for the support. Perhaps a future update for Microsoft will allow me to use the application. @gzotti @alex-w

[mtredway]

Yeah I have the exact same problem. I was able to get it to work with angle mode. I have the same graphics card too and its up to date.
