[SOLVED] Google Earth signal 11 again

I'm getting the now infamous 'signal 11' error when trying to run Google Earth.
I've tried the suggestions in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=114992 with no luck and also reinstalling GE and all its dependencies.
Does anyone have any more ideas I can try?
System is i686 with nvidia graphics.  Crash log is at http://pastebin.com/W4X4AgXd
Many thanks,
David Shaw

I was caught out by "GE has caught signal 11" a couple of days ago (using nouveau driver with nvidia hardware). I don't have any .drirc or dri file (as mentioned in old thread 114992). However, I copied librarian.launchpad.net/7037027/libGL.so.1 into the directory /opt/google/earth/free/, and this got GE working, although the video quality wasn't so good. Then I installed ia32-libs in my copy of debian in virtualbox, then copied /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1.2 from there, as libGL.so.1, back to arch to replace the one from launchpad.net. GE is now working perfectly.
I don't really understand any of the above. This is my 2nd installation, on a separate drive, but otherwise using the same hardware as the first, which was done using the official media. This one is from releng.archlinux.org, 2012/04/10_04, netinstall, x86_64. On the first, I couldn't get alsa to work and had to use oss for sound. With this one, alsa worked out the box, which is very nice. However, in addition to this google earth thing, I had significant trouble configuring an automatic wireless connection, and a problem with my samba server.
Oops - I had failed to install lib32-nouveau-dri !!!

    I have google-earth installed because I keep having problems with google-earth6, but google-earth is painfully nonresponsive.  (Break a new thread if necessary, but it is Signal 11).  The font thing is moved to aur, and rebuilding the package from scratch doesn't change anything.

  • [SOLVED] Google Earth doesn't work with xf86-video-ati

    Hi all,
    I'm having a problem with the open-source ATI drivers.  I haven't had much luck finding out anything from anywhere else, so I'm hoping someone here can help.
    Whenever I start Google Earth, the graphics run EXTREMELY slowly, almost as if it's running on a system with low memory.  I'm running an Acer Extensa 4420 with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core 64-bit processor with 2GB of RAM.  As mentioned before, I'm running on the open-source xf86-video-ati drivers, but this is the only app that gives me problems.  GL screensavers run fine, and glxgears runs without any significant input.  Running Google Earth in terminal also gives no output. 
    And I'm not sure if this is related, but closing Google Earth also crashes X.

    I had the same problem (slow googleearth) with ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility U1 (IGP 320m).
    This .drirc solves it. I don't have an xorg.conf.
    - no need for the 'disable_lowimpact_fallback' option
    - no need to turn off 'atmosphere'
    cat .drirc

  • [SOLVED]Google Earth and LSB

    Good Morning Fellow Archers,
    I've got an up to date x64 Arch install. I wanted to install Google-Earth from the AUR but was not able. I tried both packages, and both of them are failing looking for LSB-3. The current LSB in the repository is rev 4.
    I followed one thread where I manually created a link for a lsb-3 install, and both google-earth packages still fail.
    I do have the multi-libs enabled as I have one app that uses wine32 and it's happy. And the NVidia lib32 stuff is all there too.
    I have X-Plane 9, which is a 32 bit app only, and it runs fine so I know the x32libs are all in place and working.
    I think the long-term solve is for the google-earth AUR maintainers to square away their builds for lsb-4....but I'm not an expert in package builds or I'd jump in and help.....but reality is that I am not an expert.
    In the meantime....how do I make this work without pounding a 'square' peg into a 'round' hole?
    Assistance will be sincerely appreciated!
    Dave
    PS: Yes...I did try to follow the wiki article too.....

    Thank you for the response. I have it installed and it works perfectly. THANK YOU.
    The solve was simple. I was brain-locked on the lsb in the arch repository, and was not taking note of that I needed the lsb from the AUR.
    This was totally my error.
    Again, thank you for the response.

  • [SOLVED] google earth strange interface

    hello there. I'm actually using the google-earth version: 5.1.3509.4636-2
    I got a bar which I cannot remove. How can I solve this?
    Last edited by quarkup (2009-12-18 12:57:11)

    okay it is solved.
    using different theme for google earth than bespin solves the problem.
    just add in the Exec entry of the .desktop file the '-style oxygen' flag
    the file is located in /usr/share/applications/googleearth.desktop
    [Desktop Entry]
    Encoding=UTF-8
    Name=Google Earth
    GenericName=3D planet viewer
    Comment=Explore, search and discover the planet
    Exec=/usr/bin/googleearth -style oxygen %f
    Terminal=false
    MultipleArgs=false
    Type=Application

    Categories=Application;Network
    MimeType=application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml;application/vnd.google-earth.kmz;application/earthviewer;application/keyhole
    or change the google-earth launcher /usr/bin/googleearth
    and add the flag. should be something as simple as
    #!/bin/sh
    GOOGLEEARTH_DATA_PATH="/opt/google-earth"
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:${GOOGLEEARTH_DATA_PATH}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

  • [SOLVED] Google Earth - grey screen

    More GE problems.
    Now, when I start GE, I get nothing displayed.  Just a blank, black screen where the Earth image should be and a blank, grey screen when I zoom in.  (Just to make it clear, all the menus, sidebars etc are displayed correctly, it's just the Earth display that's affected.)
    Googling the issue shows that a number of people are experiencing this problem with Intel graphics drivers, but I have nvidia (nvidia-304xx driver) and the only suggested fix, to untick 'atmosphere' in the View menu, does not work.
    Is anyone else experiencing this?
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do?
    Many thanks,

  • Google Earth Signal 11 crash

    Hey everyone, I'm getting the issue outlined in this thread:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=161677
    I've tried all the solutions listed - I don't actually have a ~/.drirc file, and I've tried renaming /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-persian.conf file.
    Is there anything more I can do to make this work? I've had this issue for a VERY long time now, and at first I just thought it was Google messing up. But as more people come along saying it now works, I'm starting to wonder!
    Searching for the issue only returned the fixes posted in that thread, so I've not tried anything else to fix it as I don't know what I can do!

    I could (And do) But I still think it's worth mentioning the #7 issue (And getting it fixed if at all possible!)

    I have a mac book pro running Lion 10.7.4 and every time I use Google Earth The computer crashes by lowering a black curtain and then asking me to hold the power button down until it closes and press the power button again to restart it. Can I fix this? It bugs me when I'm looking at real estate.

    I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
    When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.

    I figured it out!
    I read a solution for something that sounded similar.
    Anyone in similar position:
    Open iTunes app on iPhone, and pick an option from bottom, such as music. Then scroll down to bottom of page and where your iTunes ID is, press on it, and pick sign out.
    Then return to home screen, and double press home button and press and hold on first icon showing, until a minus symbol appears in the top left of icons present. Press on each minus symbol on each app in turn, until all app icons have disappeared. Then Restart the phone by pressing and hold the home button and the on/off/standby button at top of phone, until the apple symbol appears in centre of blank screen.
    Swipe to turn phone fully on and open settings and scroll down to iTunes and apps option and tap that. Pick sign in and put in your apple ID, it will accept it and then return to home screen and open iTunes a you'll find it works fine
    Simple really, but some like me won't think f this themselves!
    Hope that helps

  • [ISSUE FOUND] Help Request Stabilizing Google Earth 7.1

    Good Morning Fellow Archers,
    Arch is my main OS, I have a Windows 7 partition for Games (Skyrim).
    I am x86_64, running the 32bit libs, NVidia GTX-660 platform, with the "ck" kernel option for my Piledriver CPU with the associated "ck" nvidia modules. The system works very nicely. And I couldn't be happier with Arch as a distribution!
    I have started cycling in the last 7 months for health reasons, and in preparation for a disabled veterans Sea to Shining Sea ride in 2014 that I want to participate in (San Fran to Virginia Beach). I use Google Earth (G.E.) to map out various long-distance trails/paths locally to take as training runs with my riding partner.
    I use Google Earth in my Windows 7 partition because I cannot get Google Earth 7.1 running stably under Arch. And I openly acknowledge that the "path" section of G.E. is glitchy in and of itself....platform independent. I am OK with that.
    Yesterday, I followed some other threads and downloaded from the AUR. I installed the one package I needed, "ld-lsb", installed, and then did the usual "makepkg -s" for Google Earth. What it brought down was the x86_64 version of Google Earth, instead of the i386 version that I was expecting, mentioned on the AUR page.
    There was no resultant ".xz" package from which to do a "pacman -U". But the layout was kind obvious where to put things so I manually moved things around as indicated. There was a launcher script that came with the tarball that set environment variables and performed some font stuff before actually launching G.E.
    I launched G.E. using the included launching script from a cli, so I could observe what was going wrong. G.E. came right up, and the fonts did not look wierd as in previous releases. There are a lot of repetitive errors showing up in the cli, but G.E. at least runs.....until....You click on a photo or a place, add more than a few "nodes" to a "path". Instant crash, no signal traps, no nothing...it just vanishes into thin air. And it will not launch again until I restart my D.E. and/or "zap" the "X" server. I am assuming this is necessary to clear out some environment variables that are temporary in nature that the launcher script setup, although I do not know this for sure.
    I have included the copy-n-paste error trail from the cli at the bottom of this post.
    I have also attempted to install the Windows version under Wine to get around the issue, with no luck. The G.E. installer can't seem to find the internet conenction and dies. The wine-gecko app is installed, as I have one other Windows specific reference software package installed under Wine...that uses the network to update itself. It works just fine....telling me that my Wine install is OK.
    I see that others using Arch seem to have G.E. running stably......
    I am requesting assistance to get my G.E. installation stable as well. I have no idea where to start....
    Some assistance please?
    Sincerely and respectfully,
    Dave.

    I did one more test......
    I rebooted with the stock Arch kernel and stock modules for NVidia......The issue remains. The problem is not specific to the "ck" kernel series and their associated video modules.
    One more tidbit...I am running pure systemd.......and 16Gb of ram that memtest86 "blesses". And I am not overclocked in any way. The AMD Piledriver (bulldozer Rev II) doesn't need it at all...and I don't like pushing things anyway. I use the "ck" kernels because I can get them compiled specifically for my CPU and I do notice significant responsiveness gains. A Thank You is in order to graysky for providing these kernels.

    I found same bug reported recently here: https://code.google.com/p/earth-issues/ … id&id=1826
    Any idea? Thanks.

    I solved (in part) this issue due to a comment on the page google-earth AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/goog … mments=all
    The comment is (unedited):
    "Comment by hutou

    On Arch64, a standard install from AUR succeeded, but GE crashed on startup (error = "unknown graphic card")
    I then recompiled the package with _64=1 : GE did launch, but 2 issues remained : no panoramio and search not working.
    The first can be solved by installing the packages freeimage and libpng15, and then recompiling the package google-earth with the variables _64 and _attempt_fix set to 1 in the PKGBUILD.
    The second issue is related to the decimal separator of some locales (fr for me), and is easily solved by inserting the line
    export LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
    just before the line
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./googleearth-bin "$@"
    in the file /opt/google/earth/free/googleearth
    This worked for me : GE works fine, no crashes."
    I said that I solved in part because I received only the following error when I run google-earth in terminal (but Google Earth seems to run ok - I didn't do so many tests):
    [0610/212239:ERROR:net_util.cc(2195)] Not implemented reached in bool net::HaveOnlyLoopbackAddresses()
    [0610/212239:WARNING:backend_impl.cc(1875)] Destroying invalid entry.
    [0610/212240:ERROR:nss_ocsp.cc(581)] No URLRequestContext for OCSP handler.
    Still looking forward for a solution without errors.
