Stellarium graphics often crash or hang system

Using a GeForce 8200 video card and the nVidia 3.04xx driver (no other nVidia drivers work, noveau gives same result). Stellarium frequently crashes or hangs the system, sometimes it works - maybe 50% of the time.

In the stellarium log there are these errors:

GL renderer is "GeForce 8200/integrated/SSE2"
GL Shading Language version is "1.20 NVIDIA via Cg compiler"
GLSL Version Number after parsing:  1.2
This is not enough: we need GLSL1.30 or later.
You should update graphics drivers, graphics hardware, or use the MESA version.
Else, please try to use an older version like 0.12.4, and try there with --safe-mode
Config option main/ignore_opengl_warning found, continuing. Expect problems.

Full log paste is here: https://bpaste.net/show/4c13b6881c81

I get same errors using nouveau driver so I suspect this is a libgl/mesa issue.

Any way around this?

You need to find an older version of stellarium that works on older cards try version 0.12.4 should work as stated by message
