Google Earth

[NoIBnds]

After the last round of updates, googleearth won't open. From terminal shows this:


./googleearth-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libphonon.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN9QMetaType15registerTypedefEPKci

My bad- I looked but didn't see it. As the wife would say, typical man, was right in front of me. Admins Please remove this thread!

I'm getting the same problem with google earth.  When I click the link for Tex's post, it says the post is either missing or off limits..    ??

Hello,

I just did an update tonight and noticed new NVIDIA drivers were downloaded / installed.
Everything looks fine (so far) but when I try to launch Google Earth (via terminal), the following was displayed:

Code: [Select]

Version mismatch detected between the NVIDIA libGL.so
and libnvidia-glcore.so. shared libraries (libGL.so version:
260.19.29; libnvidia-glcore.so. version: 260.19.36).
Please try reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.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/auser/.googleearth/crashlogs/crashlog-4d608c57.txt

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

I'm just wondering why it's asking to reinstall the NVIDIA drivers when they were just downloaded and installed.

Anyways, could I please get detailed help with this, please?

Thank you.

Highlighted in red the version mismatch, something is wrong in your nvidia driver installation.
EDIT:
libGL.so version: 260.19.29;
libnvidia-glcore.so. version: 260.19.36

^^ That seems clear.

So, how exactly do I solve this problem?
Do I reinstall everything in Synaptic with "nvidia" on it?
Is there a file (or files) I need to edit or delete somewhere?

[Texstar]

Have you rebooted since the video driver update?

[plankton172]

Yes, I reboot every time I finish running Synaptic updates (force of habit from Windows, it seems).

[Texstar]

Open Synaptic

remove
dkms-nvidia-current
x11-driver-video-nvidia-current

install
dkms-nvidia-current 260.19.36
x11-driver-video-nvidia-current 260.19.36

reboot

Hi Tex,

I did exactly the steps you wrote. But Google Earth still doesn't launch. Same error message on the terminal:

Code: [Select]

and libnvidia-glcore.so. shared libraries (libGL.so version:
260.19.29; libnvidia-glcore.so. version: 260.19.36).

Hi plankton172,

I did the same upgrade, without problems, try the following command, and let us know what is wrong in your installation:

from a root console:

ls -l /usr/lib/*/libGL.*
