Summary0001977: Jupiter texture not displayed
DescriptionA user on Fedora reported he was not able to see Jupiter texture in the program:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1625456

I've verified that clicking a couple of times on "Show phase and shadow" in the status bar make the texture appear again. But this is odd, because if I switch to Jupiter (no texture displayed) and enter in configuration window I have "Show phase and shadow" unticked; if I select the option and apply, no texture is displayed again; if I re-enter the configuration and deselect the option, now the texture is displayed.

This only happens to Jupiter, other planets (and Jupiter satellites) are correctly displayed.
Using Fedora RPMs built on the latest svn version (r165); FPC 3.0.4; Lazarus 1.8.0.6.
TagsNo tags attached.

I can reproduce the problem with my Fedora 29 virtual machine. I try to find a fix.

With Fedora 33 the program is unusable, all planet textures are missing and labels are unreadable.
I see glscene component is really outdated compared to upstream, but sources seem really different from those bundled in virtualplanet, so I don't think I can try to overwrite them to see if that's enough to fix the problem.

I'm planning to retire the package from the repositories. What do you think?

This is the same problem that also affect the Virtual Moon Atlas.
It get worst since Mesa 20 because now it no more work with every graphic driver.
The last version of Glscene/Lazarus do not change anything to the problem.
Probably something get deprecated by the OpenGL library in the way Glscene handle the texture, but with no error reported it is very difficult to find what.

Personally I no more make Linux packages for both Virtual Planet and Virtual Moon. So the best option is also to remove them from Fedora.

I use the Windows version with Wine and it work fine, even for the development of new version.
