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.

Hi, Tried enableTips in the general section - no change. Tried removing .config - no change - thanks anyway.

@lineage For some version of Google earth, you need to disable the Show tips at startup (~/.config/Google/GoogleEarthPlus.conf ; put enableTips=false). Also I have sometimes seen that deleting the Google earth configuration directories (rm -rf ~/.googleearth/ ; rm -rf .config/Google) solves some crashes. I do not think it is Arch fault. Google Earth may rely in some specific version of specific libraries. But all of that is undocumented and the software is closed source. What can Arch do? In my case google-earth6 works fine with the current version of Arch.

Hi Olive, As I said, but maybe not so clearly, google-earth 6 stopped working when I upgraded arch. So neither 6 or 7 work for me. They both crash in what appears from the strace to be the SAME way.

All of my problem were magically solved with google-earth6 that Det has kindly packaged. Does the 7 version have something so essential? Google earth is a closed source program and I think the only way it can be fixed is by waiting an updated version from Google. I don't understand though why Google does not take all these problems more seriously, they have a reputation of being very reliable, at least for their services (Gmail, etc.). Releasing a software that's so buggy definitively do not go in that direction.

I'm inclined to agree that it could well be a display driver/mesa issue but without an unstripped version of the executables we can only guess. Unless someone who has got the code wants to offer an opinion :-) I don't think I can realistically back out the 'X' part of the arch update. So the only option is to wait a couple of weeks and upgrade arch again and hope that fixes it and doesn't break anything else. Thanks for your help anyway.

Handler for SIGSEGV before the futex? Futex_wake_private is a system call for tasks waiting on that specific address so I don't think the SIGSEGV is happening _before_ futex() is actually waking the task to start reading it. That's also the reason I cut it from the second gettimeofday() onward because it or any of those other calls might have something to do with it. Also as I said I have a feeling that this is just a driver/mesa issue so you installing "handlers" like nvidia-utils wouldn't make a difference.

lineage commented on 2013-02-04 21:25 (UTC)

Still, it looks like there are things happening in your paste with rt_sigaction that are not in mine.. And I think your #-# line should be 12 lines further down after the futex - since that completed (return stat = 0) in mine.. So in your system you had installed a handler for SIGSEGV before the futex - in my case it hadn't. So there is certainly something wierdly different. I tried GE6 - exactly the same! Which is very odd. @olive - In this case its not google - this is Arch that has screwed something up (yet again). GE6 worked before I upgraded arch.

Det commented on 2013-02-04 14:46 (UTC)

Yeah, no, because the app is i386: └┌(%:~/Desktop)┌- objdump -f /opt/google/earth/free/googleearth-bin /opt/google/earth/free/googleearth-bin: file format elf32-i386 architecture: i386, flags 0x00000112: EXEC_P, HAS_SYMS, D_PAGED start address 0x080486c0
