google earth 7

[T6]

there is something missing here



earth

something i should enable or disable?

right now the version on android does more, like showing images and streets with addresses, not just lines

[Phil]

Why is the earth hiding? It's because you are a Super Villain and it is scared.....

thank you for your reply hero member

not all those options work in linux but the others, i tested them before posting that image

as you see, it is not showing textures, the images of the earth taken from the satellite and it was working yesterday before i used it, yesterday i had google earth 6, today i updated to 7

will reboot machine to see if other updates are giving problems

Here Google-Earth 7 works perfectly in my 32 bit installs. The only problem is that I have to start it from the CLI as it has disappeared from the K-menu. (In 64 bit I've never got it to work. Perhaps I should start a new thread about that....)

"The only problem is that I have to start it from the CLI as it has disappeared from the K-menu"

when the update request was accepted, it was mentioned that you have to reinstall it to recover the menu entry

i did that and it worked

it also rules out a possible bad install of ge7

Thanks! I reinstalled it here too, and I got the menu entry back. But isn't it a bit strange that you have to install a program twice before everything works?

I am having trouble with google earth 7 here too. It will not get past the initializing message when started from the menu.

If I go to a root terminal and type in google-earth, it attempts to start and then crashes.

Here is the crash message:

we were warned about this and i not the first time google earth does this

"Here is the crash message:
 /root/.googleearth/crashlogs/crashlog-509eee57.txt"

and what does the crashlog says?

[jimwilk]

Each time I try to open Google Earth, it generates a crash report containing among other information, the line
Crash Signal 11

My last post details the whole crash report

I also had the problem with the disappearing KMenu entry and was solved by a reinstall.
The other problem I have is that I get the same picture on my netbook (Intel GMA 3150) as in the first post while it's ok on my regular (Radeon HD 5450) PC.
And with this version GE has problem finding the places.
For instance:
Boston (and other US city's) are in the middle of the Atlantic ocean (between Haiti and West-Sahara)
Amsterdam is in the middle of Algeria (Africa).
I guess I have to go back to school

there is something missing here

and

..... I get the same picture on my netbook (Intel GMA 3150)......

I was able to repair this by installing another (6.0.3.2197) version of GE with (in konsole):

Code: [Select]

wget http://dl.google.com/earth/client/current/GoogleEarthLinux.bin

Code: [Select]

chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin

Code: [Select]

su

Code: [Select]

./GoogleEarthLinux.binAnd manually adding a KMenu entry with

Name: Google Earth
Command: googleearth %f
Icon: /opt/google-earth/product_logo_256.png

Info is from here.
Maybe this an idea/solution for an additional package for PCLOS
That's it

I have the same problem as described by jimwilk. Crush a original package from Google and a package, installed from repo.
Now I temporarily returned to the previous version of Google Earth (6.2.2.6613).

PCLOS 2012.08, KDE 4.9.2, the system is fully updated using Synaptic.

How did you do that?
I could'nt find the previous version anymore,
neither in synaptic nor on the Google-earth download site;
there it gives the option to download the previous version
but the actual binary still is GE7.
