I tried to look in the source of the Linux kernel at this message
which appears in the dmesg output.  The code where it happens is in
the DRI driver and I simply don't know what it is doing.  Some sort of
allocation of buffers and is clearly not able to allocate as much as
is wanted. I don't know what exactly.

It might be for a texture. Our biggest texture is m42dumont.png in the
default nebula set.  This is a long shot but maybe someone could try
it and tell me if this helps:

Please execute these commands in the terminal:

$ mkdir -p ~/.stellarium/nebulae/default
$ cd ~/.stellarium/nebulae/default
$ wget http://porpoisehead.net/images/m42dumont.png
$ stellarium

If that doesn't work, try running with the --safe-mode option just in
case.

What this will do is download a smaller version of this texture from
my web site and use it instead of the installed version.
