Hi all,
I am using OpenSuse for about a year now, but I never got Google Earth
working. Today, I decided to give it another try. I removed everything
related to Google Earth, logged in as root, and installed Google
Earth.
Installation works fine, no problems at all. But when I tried to
run it,
X server crashed. Also when I logged in as user, it crashes. I
couldn't
get anything useful from /var/log/messages, so I tried to find
something
useful from the internet. The only possible solution I found was at
linuxquestions.org:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/google-earth-crashes-x-598569/
TaylorVcl recommends running the following: wget
http://librarian.launchpad.net/7037027/libGL.so.1 -O libGL.so.1 at the
directory /opt/googlearth/. This is where Google Earth is
installed, so
everything should be fine. And yes, X server doesn't crash anymore
when
I try to run googlearth. But I get the message located at the
bottom of
this mail. The log file is attached to this mail. I hope someone
has any
idea to fix this, because I really love this application.
Thank you very much in advance!
Did you restart google earth so that the bug report would
be sent to Google?
And which version of Google Earth are you using?

Yes, I restarted it quite often, so Google must have a lot reports
from me.
The version I use is the newest, downloaded yesterday, version 4.2 Beta.

Weird.
are you running it from the command line?
If you do this from a command line
$ nohup googleearth &
and then after a crash, from the same directory:
$ more nohup.out
what do you see?
I just removed Google Earth and reinstalled it, and when I run 'nohup
googleearth &', X crashes, and nohup.out is empty. When I do the
libGL-trick, as I described in my first message, nohup.out contains the
exact same message as I attached in the first mail.
I think it has something to do with my graphics card, but I'm not really
sure. My system is a HP Compaq nc6220 notebook, with an Intel 915M
chipset. Although, thats what lspci tells me:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile
915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)
I have absolutely no idea if it is some driver problem, I just installed
a newer kernel (2.6.22.16-SL103_BRANCH_20080123142852-default), but
nothing changes.
Thanks in advance,
Henk te Sligte
