I see that I am not the only one with problems with this version.
I have tried to download the previous version (6.x) of google-earth (which did work properly) from Google, but although they say the previous version is 6.2, what you got is actually 5.x ?! Is 6.2 available somewhere? Would Det be so kind as to provide a package for it.

Same problem than Olive in three computers:
After remove /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-persian.conf I only can see continents lines and other information layers, but I can't see the planet in background.
My computer's video cards are: Intel 945GM, NVidia ION and NVidia Geforce 6200
All NVidia cards are with propietary drivers working ok in another applications.

Sorry for my bad English.

For *ME* removing/renaming /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-persian.conf solved the crashes.

Of COURSE you did, stop SAYING it!

In my case, I also had to rename:
/etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-fonts-persian.conf

After having removed /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-persian.conf, it starts but the earth remains black (with only the continents in yellow) (Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML with the intel Xorg driver).
Det commented on 2013-01-04 15:55 (UTC)
Lol. Yeah. You should do that.

*TO ANYONE HAVING PROBLEMS*
Fought this for a while, be sure to read the output after install.
[code]
NOTE: The binary is called 'google-earth'
NOTE2: To prevent a crash on startup with -dri drivers you may need to add a new line to ~/.drirc with:
$ echo >> ~/.drirc
NOTE3: Certain font confs are known to crash Google Earth at startup. These include the following:
* /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-persian.conf (owned by 'fontconfig')
* /etc/fonts/infinality/styles.conf.avail/infinality/21-aliases-wine-win7-inf.conf
* /etc/fonts/infinality/styles.conf.avail/infinality/60-group-non-tt-fonts.conf
* /etc/fonts/infinality/styles.conf.avail/infinality/60-group-tt-fonts.conf
(all three owned by 'fontconfig-infinality')
Please either remove or rename any of these to prevent them from being parsed by expat.
NOTE4: Other such confs may be found one at a time by debugging (requires 'strace'):
$ echo; LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/google/earth/free/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH strace /opt/google/earth/free/googleearth-bin 2>&1 | grep -B10 SEGV_MAPERR | grep open | cut -d '"' -f2; echo
Optional dependencies for google-earth

lib32-catalyst-utils: For AMD Catalyst
lib32-gtk2: SCIM support
lib32-intel-dri: For the open source Intel driver

For *ME* removing/renaming /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-persian.conf solved the crashes. thanks guys!

Thanks, unfortunate timing then.
For reference, with Gnome shell / wayland I need to
