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.

@olive, yeah, we all get that the latest Google Earth for Linux is not to your liking. No need to repeat that on every comment. @Syr, well, you have the same file in there. It's supposed to crash it for everybody. The 'separate config' idea is pretty neat of course and makes me wonder why I never had it, though, you don't want to be installing in $HOME in case there are multiple users (even if pretty rare for Arch). I also removed the user configuration lines because same files there can have the same effect. We'll see how it goes. Pkgrel won't be bumped. Also I've said this a million times but please use Pastebin.

The application says that my graphic card is unsupported and I need a 3D graphic card with 16Mb of vram; when I click OK it crashes (same behaviour if I remove the 65-fonts-persian.conf or with Syr trick). My graphic card (and my computer) is old: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) but I do have 3D and 16Mb of graphic card (the memory is shared and I have 2Gb total). All works fine with google-earth6. I get tired of this; clearly Google neglects this software (or the Linus version of it). If Google want to be synonymous of quality, it has failed. Updated: The application starts if I put enableTips=false in $HOME/.config/Google/GoogleEarthPlus.conf (and applying Syr trick), but the yellow line issue remains the same as before.

Having the same crash-on-startup-font-related-problems as everyone, but solved them using a dummy config, with no need to rename or delete any system files. Create a file in ~/.config/fontconfig/ which may be named fonts.conf.google-earth and put the following inside: <?xml version='1.0'?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'> <fontconfig> <dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir> <dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir> <dir prefix="xdg">fonts</dir> <!-- the following element will be removed in the future --> <dir>~/.fonts</dir> <cachedir>/var/cache/fontconfig</cachedir> <cachedir prefix="xdg">fontconfig</cachedir> <!-- the following element will be removed in the future --> <cachedir>~/.fontconfig</cachedir> </fontconfig> This is taken from the default /etc/fonts/fonts.conf but omits all the custom conf.d stuff that causes trouble. Now, modify the /usr/bin/google-earth script and add the following before the actual run: export FONTCONFIG_FILE=$HOME/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf.google-earth This can be easily implemented from the PKGBUILD.

Any Intel people noticing improvements besides the yellow borders?: http://support.google.com/earth/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=40901 "[...] Imagery now displays for Linux users running specific families of Intel GPUs. [...]"

That's because it's _out-of-date_.
