Hi, GoogleEarth is not running anymore.

If i start googleearth, an "Bus error" appears. Nothing more.

I am running openSUSE-10.3-64bit on a Thinkpad Z61p with fglrx-8.39.4, i had many other problems with 8.40, 8.41 and 8.42 (xv and opengl), 8.443 doesn't support my screen resolution (1920x1200) and 8.45 does not support my card (FireGL 5200, 256MB).

Last lines of strace:

getcwd("/home/ffiene/opt/google-earth", 128) = 30 mmap2(NULL, 3562200, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0) = 0xfffffffff7b48000 fadvise64(3, 0, 0, 0x365ad8 /* POSIX_FADV_??? */) = 0 mmap2(0xf7e91000, 114688, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED| MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0x349) = 0xfffffffff7e91000 --- SIGBUS (Bus error) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGBUS +++

Something makes me suspect bad memory.

If you reboot, and run googleearth again, do you get the error at the same point in execution?

If not (either no crash, or crashes later), then to me, that would indicate that googleearth was loaded into RAM at a different location, and thus the error doesn't happen, or happens at a different point in the execution of the program.

If after a reboot, it crashes at the same place, then it rules out my theory.

...

Please help! Frank

I had the same error (same screen resolution too. After lots of dicking around I found that the ati installer (i used it to build an rpm and then installed that rpm) sometimes puts some of the modules in a directory that is not high enough in the search path.

When you get a new ati install, the libGL is usually in the wrong place for googleearth and has to be softlinked in your ~/googleearth directory in place of the one that they ship.

Hmm, libGL.so.1.2 is in /usr/lib/xorg with softlinks to /usr/lib/xorg/libGL.so.1 and to /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 And i also did the workaround with libGL from ati-fglrx-8.27, but nothing! -- Frank Fiene / IT-Services Fon: +49 2526 29-6200 Fax: +49 2526 29-16-6200 mailto: ffiene@veka.com www.veka.com VEKA AG Dieselstr. 8 48324 Sendenhorst Deutschland/Germany Vorstand: Andreas Hartleif (Vorsitzender), Dr. Andreas W.

1) Does /usr/bin/fgl_glxgears work?

Yes!

2) Does /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 exist?

No!

3) Is it identical to what is in /usr/lib/xorg ?

Yes, i did a symlink from /usr/lib/xorg now. Same error! I've upgraded also to ati-8-02, which is somewhat 8.455 or so. Nothing.
