I know, there was an older thread more then a year ago: Stellarium on Librem 5
but now for me stellarium is starting, showing what it is loading, but not presenting the sky. Only running with high CPU usage. Any ideas?
After a year, I did again a test with the stellarium (after a fresh installation with apt remove ... apt install ..... It reads in the various database, objects etc. but is not able to bring up the scene. Attached is a log, maybe some gives an idea what could be done to fix it.
Thanks

sudo apt install stellarium
Above, old version, is not working because of:
sudo apt purge stellariumsudo apt autoremove
Now it is your turn to visit and try stellarium in version 1.1 (user guide linked). Official link is here: https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium/releases/. Web version is here: https://stellarium-web.org/.
I started a thread in https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium/discussions/2831# For some reason (bug?) Qt asks for 16 GByte memory.

From: Ruslan Kabatsayev notifications@github.com:
«Something funny is happening inside Qt. I suppose we get tlwRect.size() with enormous values in QWidgetRepaintManager::paintAndFlush(). (Looks like “tlw” means “top-level window” from what I can find in qwidgetrepaintmanager.cpp.) Someone will have to run a debugging session (with a debug build of Qt) on a device like yours to see what’s going on. »

Do you think that this could be done on the L5? Or, are there even some things which could break the phone?

Someone compiled their own kernel on the phone, I’m sure it can handle building stellarium. Just make sure it has time and power.
What is the best way to detect in a script if any of the dependency pkg is already installed without running the install?
If you apt install them, it’ll tell you which ones are already installed and at the newest version. Other than that I’m not sure.

apt list … shows that every package available. I would proceed with sudo apt install … (related to those that are not at this moment installed, please remove installed packages from my list) as you can purge those that are not currently/already installed any time afterwards if final result not what expected.
Hopefully stellarium 1.1 install process doesn’t require higher version(s) of here related packages than those within byzantium repository (this should not come out with executing: sudo apt install …, yet might cause next step issue, for now let us leave this aside).
P.S. I’ll have tomorrow long day and therefore not allowed (sort of) to test anything now.
Yeah there is that, but if that’s the case then nothing in this thread will help.

One can google for the string xcb_shm_create_segment() can't be called for size 17179344900 and there are a few other such cases with other pieces of software, some pointing to screen size 4k or V4L issues. The screen of our device in question, the L5, is 720x1440. Maybe this is not correctly detected by stellarium?
The answer to this from the maintainer of stellarium is below. I’m not equipped with any knowledge of Qt. For me this story ends here.
Maintainer says in https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium/discussions/2831 «All detection stellarium does is via Qt. And here it’s not even stellarium’s action, it’s Qt internals. This is why I said one needs a debugging session to look into Qt, this is why you need a debug build of Qt for this.»

Is QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland set on your Librem 5? Running env | grep QT_QPA should tell.
If not, try starting stellarium with env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland stellarium and see if this helps.
The env var was not set in general. If I set it in the small shell script which should bring up stellarium, this spills out on STDOUT or STDERR:
purism@pureos:~$ cat /tmp/stellarium.stdout
Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in ""
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, xcb.
Aborted
Are those plugins code of stellarium or of our L5 installation?
The reply from the stellarium forum about this is clear:
«These are Qt plugins. Looks like Qt has been built without Wayland support (but with X11).»
And now?
There’s a package for that, IIRC it’s qtwayland5. Install it (sudo apt install qtwayland5), and the backend will be supported.
TBH, I don’t know why it and the environment variable are not set/installed by default on the Librem 5 - the situation, as is, makes things unnecessary difficult for users.
