[opensuse] Google Earth and OpenSuse 10.2
Okay, I've had problems with Google Earth in both GNOME and KDE. It crashes the current session and forces me back to the login page (and by crash, I mean the screen goes black and I find myself at the login screen again). Anybody had this problem happen to them? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I just loaded it on my rather old laptop and although it runs rather slow it does not crash me out of my login session. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

BTW, doing googleearth 2>googleerrors.text doesn't produce any output, so I can't show any errors. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You don't say what versions your running. I'm running SUSE 10.0, KDE 3.5.4 level "a" with Google Earth 4.0.2091 (beta). Has not crashed yet. Don't use GNOME. System is PIII 866MHZ, 512 memory.

Is that "Don't use GNOME!" (a warning) or "[I] don't use GNOME." (a statement of fact)?

Have you the proverbial "patience of a saint?" In other words, isn't Google Earth dismally slow on such a machine?

Wait a minute... Google Earth uses 3D graphics hardware on Linux? I thought it ran under WINE? Have they produced a native Linux port?

Excellent. It's works well on my GeForce 7300 under 10.2. The GTK interface is a little crude, but hey. Maybe I can configure some of that via Gnome? RRS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Nope, it's a Linux-native QT-based application. Try "ldd /opt/google-earth/googleearth-bin". Not a single mention of either Wine or libwine. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It works correctly on 10.1, and I can't migrate to 10.2 on my machine till ATI gets reliable drivers available. But I've seen this exact problem on Kubuntu. It takes down the X server entirely. So much for "don't be evil" ;-P -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Bug #229290
In short: make sure that DRI is enabled. When using indirect software
rendering, some applications crash the Xserver.
