I have seen a case where Xsun also crashes when googleearth is remotely displayed from Fedora to a Solaris 10 workstation. However, I have not been able to reproduce it. But, I have not tried googleearth on Sun Ray yet.

Have you looked at any xorg.conf settings to turn off GLX? However, if you do, you probably wont' be able to run googleearth. If you have some kind of stack trace from Xnewt crash, that might be helpful.

Hi Christian, hi list,

thanks for the quick response. we had a maintenance weekend and thus the
test machine was offline and I did not have time to look into this until
know, sorry.

Hi!

do you have any logs when Xnewt crashes? what does /var/opt/SUNWut/log/messages have at that moment?
Attached you can find /var/opt/SUNWut/log/messages after such a crash
and all relevant log files from a fresh login until the crash (and
restart). the only relevant line I found, is:

kernel: Xnewt[23848]: segfault at 2000a ip 000000000002000a sp
00000000ff93874c error 14 in Xnewt[8048000+49b000]

But I don't think this will help anyone (except the Xnewt developers
maybe). :-(

have you tried an earlier version of googleearth?

I now tried the following versions:

4.2.205.5730
4.1.7076.4458
4.0.2091
4.0.1563
and of course:
4.3.7191.6508

all with the same result: Xnewt crashes.


I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the GL initialization of
googleearth. The Xnewt manpage tells me, that the GLX extension is
"always enabled". Does anyone know how to DISABLE it. I have the
suspicion that this might also work around this unwanted "power off"
button. :-(


it's been 8 days since my last post on this topic. Isn't there anyone
who can at least reproduce the problem (or even not)?

Has anyone an idea how to disable the GLX extension in the Xnewt server?

So long,
