Stellarium won't start in Ubuntu

You have ugly video drivers, please try install proprietary drivers.

Also can try a start Stellarium with --safe-mode key from CLI (command-line)

tried downloading from Ubuntu repository the ATI radeon driver (fglrx) but
now I get a segmentation error during startup and nothing happens just as
before.

There are at least one defect here, and one in Ubuntu, regarding issues with that video driver.
