Google Earth Won't Launch
« on: March 27, 2012, 09:03:42 AM »
I installed Google Earth & it won't launch. I see the splash screen, but then nothing happens. Is there anything I can do?

Can you try running it from a command prompt, and post any messages that are generated?

I tried opening the bin file with konsole(from dolphin), but nothing happened. What is the command?

I think it's because You don't have enough data about yourself stored on Your machine. Google earth is dieing with error "Need more input"... ;D...

Sorry couldn't help it ;)...

Ok, here's what konsole says when I tried to open it:

Google Earth has caught signal 11.



We apologize for the inconvenience, but Google Earth has crashed.
 This is a bug in the program, and should never happen under normal
 circumstances. A bug report and debugging data have been written
 to this text file:

    /home/username/.googleearth/crashlogs/crashlog-4f7879b2.txt

Please include this file if you submit a bug report to Google
