Hello, I've installed the latest stable google earth from the google-earth's official website, and installed all of the dependencies. However, when the google-earth starts up, it doesn't display the earth, but an empty black region. Despite this black region, other part of google earth works well. It might be caused by something related to Qt or OpenGL, but Stellarium, which is also based on Qt and OpenGL, works well for me. I'm using Kernel 3.0. Wish anyone could offer me some help. Thanks for your patience and time. Regards, H Xu 08/14/2011
Kernel 3.0 - does that mean you're running Sid?? Did:- $ glxinfo | grep 'direct rendering' give "yes"?If so, do you get any error messages when you launch googleearth from CLI? eg:-
$ googleearth If so, did you get any warning when you build the nvidia drivers? Anything in the build log? eg:- $ cat /var/log/nvidia-installer.log | less or $ cat /var/log/nvidia-installer.log | grep -i fail How did you disable nouveau?
