Google earth fails to run

travis82 · 02-20-2018, 05:14 AM

Hi

I don't use google earth very often. Last time I checked, it worked flawlessly. Today it fails to run. I upgraded it to 7.3.1.4507 from SBO but nothing happens. Even running googleearth from terminal returns nothing. I already have created soft link for LSB:

Code:

ln -sf /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3

And have removed 65-fonts-persian.conf

Code:

mv /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-persian.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-persian.conf.old

I guess there is something wrong with my Optimus based graphical configurations:

Code:

Card-1: Intel 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller
           Card-2: NVIDIA GF108M [GeForce GT 630M]
           Display Server: X.Org 1.18.3
           drivers: nouveau,intel (unloaded: modesetting,nv,vesa)
           Resolution: 1366x768@60.00hz
           OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Ivybridge Mobile
           version: 3.3 Mesa 11.2.2

Please have a look. Thank you

Can you make sure that NVidia driver is being used instead of the nouveau?

Thanks willy. I am not using Nvidia and do not need it at all. Also, nouveau driver has been offloaded using the following command that I have putted in ~/.xprofile

Code:

xrandr --setprovideroffloadsink nouveau Intel

Well, i have written that one on the README:

4) GoogleEarth now requires that you have OpenGL drivers installed on your
system (and Xorg configured to use them). Not doing so will cause X
to crash.

As far as I know, Intel HD 4000 supports OpenGL. by the way, I haven't encountered any X crash so far. Note that google earth was working with this configuration one month ago and it works well on Debian sid with similar Prime configuration.
