I will not update (for now) to the latest version 7.3.6.9326 because it crashes continuously for me.

Thanks, unfortunate timing then.

For reference, with Gnome shell / wayland I need to

unset QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME
unset QT_QPA_PLATFORM

to avoid

Google Earth has caught signal 6.

@iyanmv Thank you. Don't know why Google is so permissive, but I would also add chmod -R 'g-w' ${pkgdir} to the PKGBUILD. Just tested and it works fine.

iyanmv commented on 2022-04-03 14:22 (UTC)

VStoiakin: sorry, I only noticed your last comment now. I don't know why I removed those two lines. I think it was a mistake. I updated to last version, added that fix back and replaced the command to remove sgid with your suggestion.

VStoiakin commented on 2022-03-08 13:43 (UTC)

This fix is still actual for me. Why it was removed?

@iyanmv OK, but I would make it with command chmod -R 'a-s' ${pkgdir}, to be sure on future updates of the package.

iyanmv commented on 2021-12-15 09:16 (UTC)

VStoiakin: thanks for letting me know! I quickly removed the sgid of those files. Please let me know if there are any issues since I cannot test it now.

VStoiakin commented on 2021-12-15 09:00 (UTC)

@iyanmv Something wrong with permissions. Please fix.

proxy doesn't work with libproxy-0.4.16 only libproxy-0.4.15 is fine.....

This package currently crashes at startup because /opt/google/earth/pro/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 is out of date. Removing the library fixes the problem (it causes Google Earth to use the up-to-date system version of libcrypto).

This patch fixes the problem for me:
