Crash on MacOS Catalina 10.15.7 for Stellarium 0.21.1 and 0.21.2 #2048
Comments
Thanks for adding your first issue to Stellarium. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. |
This is bug in Apple's divers for Intel GPU: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253309962 |
Anyway the app is not opening and it is crushing. The point is to what extend we can tell that it is a bug on Apple's driver or a bug on the app. I feel it is a bug on the app, caused by a change on Apple's driver, so I reported it since I think it might be worth going a bit further on analysing it. |
You can try following hints from other projects and programs which have similar problems. E.g. ros-visualization/rviz#1577 Suddenly there are programs which all have issues with Catalina 10.15.7 on Intel HD4000. Sudden bugs in all apps? |
Well, you're right, with that information it doesn't look like a bug. I feel it is something that changed due to a security patch, and it is making applications break. My feeling is based on the premise that there are no bugs in new Apple's driver code, but it might be also a bug on Apple's side. To what extent Apple's change in the graphic driver is a bug or it is a security feature. I am not an expert on this, so I issued the bug so there is anybody with the expertise to discover it. |
This has been fixed for me with the latest security update issued last night - Security Update 2021-008 for Catalina. Tried a couple of things on my Mac Mini that were crashing and both seem to be working correctly this morning. |
@miceno please check the update |
Great! I checked it with the new Security Update 2021-008 and now it works!! Thank you! |
