Arch Linux User Repository

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.

✔ NOTE The "Free" Google Earth has been dropped: https://support.google.com/earth/answer/168344?hl=en

All future updates go to Google Earth Pro (also free): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/google-earth-pro/

Nevermind, it turned out I was missing a simple package I overlooked. lib32-glu, works now.

I can't seem to get the 32 bit version working via the flag in the packagebuild. I enabled it and everything went through. I have lib32-nvidia-utils for my graphics card. When I launch I get the following error though, "./googleearth-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

You can decide for it in any way you like. But I'm deciding it for everybody else. You are not one of those 10% I was comparing to because you are one of those 0,1% who do the recompile that doesn't benefit them, but who even come complaining about not getting nagged to do so. And that's why you have no say in this.

Well, I'm one of those 10% ... and I really don't care of your abilities/skills to maintain a binary package, shit happens & errors are normal - just notify me by way of pkgrel and let *me* decide of it's worthiness.

Seriously, stop: 1) whining about my pkgrel changes (or the lack of) and 2) spamming these diffs nobody gives a sh*t about. Those changes _still_ don't change _absolutely anything_ unless you change that flag and 90% of users _won't_, so why should I bump the pkgrel for the sake of individuals such as you? If you care about my changes so much, enable the comment notifications, and you'll get an email every time I add something that won't change anything but that you still want to have. If you don't understand that, that's okay. I'm the maintainer. I know these things better than you do. I'm seriously starting to lose my composure.

And this diff still doesn't deserve a new pkgrel? Do you really expect us to poll your AUR page and remember 'Last updated'? You clearly missed the point of having pkgrel and something like 'aurcheck' BTW. your latest update: tar tf google-earth.tar.gz google-earth/ google-earth/google-earth.install google-earth/.tar.gz google-earth/google-earth-mimetypes.xml google-earth/PKGBUILD google-earth/googleearth Do you see it? --- google-earth.old1/PKGBUILD 2013-09-27 22:40:26.000000000 +0200 +++ google-earth/PKGBUILD 2013-10-04 23:22:00.000000000 +0200 @@ -2,6 +2,10 @@ # Contributors: 458italia, Madek, Berseker, Syr # Check the latest version with: $ curl -s https://dl.google.com/dl/earth/client/current/google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm | head -c96 | strings | cut -d "-" -f4 +# Use 32-bit binaries on x86_64.

Meaning it does now?

Hi Det, the relative path in this line: sed -i "s/_bin32=.*/_bin32=\"0\"/" ../$pkgname.install does not work when $BUILDDIR is set in /etc/makepkg.conf.

@HighValueWarrior: yes, it's a long-running issue (32-bit systems too).
