Stellarium Crashes on Raspberry Pi 3B(+) #550

Closed angelofraietta closed 1 year ago

angelofraietta commented 6 years ago

Expected Behaviour

Stellarium will run complex displays without crashing

Actual Behaviour

Describe or maybe attach a screenshot? Find a link to a video showing it. I found that I can get same result running a script https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T6cfnYuQWCZZQtvNdP5xSiCQmGjgeyKd/view?usp=sharing

Steps to reproduce

This crashes on raspberry Pi. I first discovered bug when doing rapid remote control changes. I found I could reproduce crash consistently just by running the script double_stars.ssc

It does run some scripts OK, however, I get it to consitently fail on this script

It runs fine on both Mac and Windows - Just Raspberry Pi

System

Also tried with latest pull from github - crashes in slightly different place

Open GL tested http://www.raspberryconnect.com/gamessoftware/item/314-trying_out_opengl_on_raspberry_pi_3

Logfile

If possible, attach the logfile log.txt from your user data directory. Look into the Guide for its location.

You will notice in the journal below that this happens as it is crashing

The VC4 OpenGL driver is still described as "experimental" by the Raspberry Foundation. This explains why. I have written my observations here: https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium/wiki/Raspberry-Pi

I observed a similar problem around GPU memory when using the DSS layer. Our "official" platforms are x86/x64 systems. You are cordially invited to help improving its stability on Raspberry Pi /ARM as well.

Do you get crashing on the same script? I had trouble with installing messa. If you have it crashing the same, then I will know it is not just the environment I have built under.

I recently installed Raspbian/NOOBS and then again followed the instructions on our wiki which I grabbed from anholt. Building drm and mesa worked flawlessly. Sorry, cannot test again on this RasPi3 before about December 15.

angelofraietta commented 5 years ago

I did run again from the instructions and it did compile fine. It appears that that crash is happening with other programs, indicating the experimental Open GL as you suggested. I would appreciate if you could try running that script when you get the chance in December.

Hmm, seems I did not say exactly which December... :-)

double_stars.ssc runs perfectly on my RPi4 (4GB RAM) on current Raspbian Buster.

However, on the RPi3+, it fails quite soon with access violation. dmesg shows tons of errors: [drm:vc4_bo_create [vc4]] *ERROR* Failed to allocate from CMA:

There are a few bug discussions in the RPi fora, e.g. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=223363, however I have not found a solution that works.

I switched off DSO images on my next test, and - voilà - it worked. So there is an issue with texture memory, and the ever growing collection of DSO images will not make things easier. Probably we must provide a little script for texture minimisation (convert all to 128x128px, or provide a reduced collection?) However, I wonder why texture allocation, or rather unsuccessful allocation, is not handled more gracefully?

This is a good task for the community to participate in the contribution into Stellarium. Who wants to help us?

alex-w commented 2 years ago

@angelofraietta @gzotti is the problem still alive?

gzotti commented 2 years ago

OK, just ran the script twice on my RPi3B+ with Raspbian 10 (buster) and its Stellarium 0.18.3. No issues. Then I saw the background DSO images were switched off. Activated, ran, and -- boom. Memory error. So yes, still active, and I doubt we can do anything here.

I have not yet updated this RPi3B+ to V11/Bullseye. I also did not self-compile here.

gzotti commented 2 years ago

Update for current RPi3B+ Raspberry OS 11/Bullseye: Its repo provides Stellarium 0.20.4.

I have not stepped further into finetuning applications. Let's say RPi3 enjoys partial support...
