I run Windows 7 on Virtualbox on openSUSE 13.1. One thing I've noticed is the video isn't up to running Google Earth. with a native version available, why stoop to windows. You are just handcuffing yourself.
Neither the "official" nor SUSE versions work well. It is better on Tw, at least I haven't seen recent problems. You can improve 13.1 by using the following alias or script to start google-earth:
alias=google-earth='while ! google-earth; do echo RESTARTING; done'
or:
#!/bin/bash #while ! google-earth; do echo RESTARTING; done rm -rf /home/<user>/.googleearth/Cache rm -rf /home/<user>/.googleearth/Temp /usr/bin/google-earth exit
The script works better as the alias is just brute-force restart.
This is using the latest rpm from google, didn't know there was an openSUSE version.
Actually, the Earth function is now built into Google Maps, where it works fine. There's really not much need for a separate app now. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
