Racing fan Google Earth (7.1.2.2041) is running on asus u80a motherboard in 14.0

offplanet · 11-13-2013, 06:31 PM

I am looking for suggestions on how to troubleshoot this problem.

fan runs full tilt for 10 seconds then dies down for 2 seconds and the fires up again. Cycle repeats.

The activity circle in the GE location bar is fully closed indicating all network communication up/down is complete.

Note: There is no network (wireless) traffic while this happening according to the network monitor (graphic plasma widget).

If I shutdown GE the fan does not race.

The problem existed on other versions of GE.

Laptop is year 2008/9.

Off Topic: Slackware store said they plan to duplicate/ship DVDs on Friday. (my bad for not remembering which) Can't wait for my brand new DVD.

No activity for a while. Is there a thread option instead of SOLVED? CLOSED maybe?

The new google earth requires OpenGL rendering, so if you use Intel GPU, yes, it would force them to work full power

If you open top or a similar utility you'll probably see the CPU activity spiking. This is, as willysr says, because the CPU is being used for rendering and it's an intensive task.
Unless you're seeing low CPU activity when the fan is blowing (which I would be extremely surprised about) this is to be expected for any program which uses the CPU intensively.

Yes, i do have the same warning when i started from command line, but it worked

I still can't get Google-Earth working at all on 14.1 , just tells me cannot find the bin file when running it in cmdline...Tried reinstalling the package, and I even downloaded the 64bit rpm, (google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm) used rpm2tgz, installed that package instead, still get same error:

Code:

Verifying package google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.tgz.

exit
slackuser@slackmachine:~/google-earth$ google-earth

slackuser@slackmachine:~/google-earth$

I also did make sure to do the following:

Code:

ln -sf /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.3

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

No change, same error - *shrug*

And yes I am using NVIDIA blob, and OpenGL is installed

willysr · 11-14-2013, 11:44 PM

No, stick with 32 bit deb package and you will be fine
here's what i did:
install slackware64-14.1
install multilib
repack google-earth via SBo or via my SlackHacks (both works)
installpkg google-earth package
run this command: ln -sf /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.3
Google Earth works

I doubt it. That's just a common error people get when starting Google Earth. I'm not sure why you would expect a resource-intensive program such as Google Earth not to make your CPU usage spike now and again, causing the fan to spin up?
I know on my desktop (AMD FX-8120 "8 core" and NVIDIA GT 640) Google Earth will use a couple of cores at 100% and the graphics card will get notable warmer -- as well as it, sometimes, swamping my 20MB internet connection. Google Earth, in my experience, will use as much CPU as you give it.

Still same error, retried 32bit deb, used slackbuild, generated - "Slackware package /tmp/google-earth-7.1.1.1580-i386-1_SBo.tgz created" , installed google-earth-7.1.1.1580-i386-1_SBo.tgz , did the command 'ln -sf /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.3' , then tried to run again but still get same error in shell:

Yes I *do* have multilib, and it is working because WINE is working. Yes I *do* have DRI as well as OpenGL installed using NVIDIA BLOB 325.15, since that is the latest I can find that does not give me install errors when trying to install compat32/openGL

Try this on 64 bit Slackware using 64-bit RPM and rpm2txz:

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

GE will run, but we still can't see pictures. I just get white boxes.

We can't support you if you use RPM and non SBo standards
