Package: openuniverse version: 1.0beta3.1+dfsg-6.1
When I started openuniverse, it put up a window with no menu items and no other control elements. It responded to '?' or 'H' keystrokes by putting up a short list of keystroke shortcuts - presumably corresponding to nonexistent menu options. These keystroke shortcuts seemed to work, but within a few minutes openuniverse crashed. I started it a few more times trying for a while to figure out what I did that made it crash, but it seemed random. Finally I started it and went looking online for any discussion of the problem. It crashed after no more than 5 minutes, before I had even turned away from the browser and tried to do anything with it. So I'm pretty sure it's not something I did. In dmesg it says: [406058.660546] openuniverse[242638]: segfault at 20 ip 00007f86f454ad63 sp 00007ffefd7050a0 error 4 in nouveau_dri.so[7f86f4517000+d46000] [406058.660565] Code: 48 48 89 c7 b9 02 00 00 00 ff 90 08 03 00 00 4c 8b 54 24 10 be ff 00 00 00 48 89 c7 49 89 82 70 12 00 00 49 8b 82 60 12 00 00 <8b> 50 20 c1 e2 05 e8 52 c9 fc ff 4c 8b 54 24 10 48 89 ea 4c 89 fe Which appears to implicate a conflict with nouveau. I have an nvidia 1050TI video card but I have not downloaded drivers from nvidia's site for it. OpenUniverse documentation strongly suggests the proprietary drivers I am not using. I am not familiar with openuniverse, but checking screenshots of it online I see many UI elements that simply are not present when I start it. It's even missing a basic icon for a launcher shortcut. Checking dependencies I see that it conflicts with openuniverse-common(<=1.0beta3.1-3). I have installed version 1.0beta3.1+dfsg-6.1. That looks to me like it should not have installed with the current version of openuniverse-common, but these version numbers are inconsistent in format so I'm not certain. Checking dependencies I also see that it requires libjpeg26-turbo >= 1.3.1 and my installed version is 1:2.0.6-4. Again it looks to me like it shouldn't have installed with this version, but because of the inconsistency in version number format I'm not sure. Finally I see in its dependencies that it suggests package 'celestia' which has no installation candidate in the Testing/Bullseye release. This is very sad. I like Celestia. I miss it ever since Jessie. I have sometimes gone out and gotten the .deb from their site and installed it - but not yet this time. I tried openuniverse first looking for an adequate in-distro replacement. This is a fresh install of Bullseye, made using 'grml-debootstrap' less than a week ago. I have absolutely no software installed on this machine that is not downloaded from the 'Bullseye' archive.
