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/

Sure you got ld-lsb?

@Det: Yes that's the same. I have already tried something like that. that's really weird

No I don't have it in the cache. I tried to delete the ~/.drirc file (it was empty) like described in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=161677 but it don't works. I also tried to rename the /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-persian.conf but without surprise (your package handle this problem) it is not better.

Don't you have it in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/?

It is possible to downgrade to 7.0 ? The old packages don't work because it download the 7.1 version and detects a checksum error.

@RaphAstronome, it's a known bug with 7.1: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/earth/HU5sNXOU9r8 @solstice, does it work with this?: http://pastebin.com/MxzFeQQ7

I have this rather odd error: /usr/bin/google-earth: line 26: ./googleearth-bin: No such file or directory but there IS such a file so I don't understand why I got this problem

After upgrade, Google earth refuses to start and I get this error message : [0428/184023:ERROR:net_util.cc(2195)] Not implemented reached in bool net::HaveOnlyLoopbackAddresses() [0428/184023:WARNING:backend_impl.cc(1875)] Destroying invalid entry.

Yes.

Do you know if Google Earth's 64-bit version require 32-bit libs? I'd like to install this but am really straining to avoid cluttering up this system with multi-arch dependencies. Thanks.
