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.

Some people say removing or adding a new line to .drirc helps (also mentioned in the post install/upgrade). Then there's other discoveries in different sites as well, including disabling the Start-Up Tips: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/fix-google-earth-crashing-on-startup-in.html You're not alone. For some people replacing intel-dri with the launchpad libGL helps, for some it's the othe way around. I've just heard that using the launchpad libGL there's some flickering and/or missing polygons. You could try cycling through these to see, if it's of any assistance: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!searchin/earth/signal$2011

FWIW, it crashes with a "Google Earth has caught signal 11." until I install http://librarian.launchpad.net/7037027/libGL.so.1 into /opt/google/earth/free. i686 system with intel-dri 8.0.4-2.

Fwiw, license.html looks ok when opened in a browser. Indeed I am getting served by another google server: Connecting to earth.google.com|74.125.230.232|:80... connected. Hopefully I am not getting my DNS spoofed :) Am online via umts dialup in Spain (telefonica). For me personally not a big problem, but I thought I'd let you know that there is a potential problem with the script. Repeating the process in /tmp yields the same result and the same checksum. Running the script on a machine in Lxembourg, yields the expected checksum of '7363c6144ebb298b1d7aec713ca8a82a'.

I'm assuming you either still got the same corrupt license there or you're getting it from a different server with a different version. We can confirm this by you telling me the ip you're getting with wget: Connecting to earth.google.com|173.194.32.2|:80... connected. But you can either just re-generate the md5sums like that, skip them (--skipinteg) or just omit the license (the install line as well). I'm a little reluctant to do that in the PKGBUILD since this is the first time we've had this happen. If it won't go away I can include the license in the tarball. Also you wouldn't need the 'z' with tar. Tar automatically reads the format of the archive (even regardless of the name). E: It _could_ also be that the sector in the disk used by the license is corrupt (even after redownloading it, if that's what you did). If it's still '3dda103111cf68bdd2eff2485456bd98' even in /tmp (mounted as tmpfs, located in RAM) then it's just the server giving you a different license.

Running wget http://earth.google.com/intl/en/license.html and then running makepkg -g also shows a checksum of '3dda103111cf68bdd2eff2485456bd98' :( I guess some kind of google magic then. Does the license.html file really have to be there? Maybe the solution would be to just remove it, or possibly to download it separately without having it in the source array.

jhernberg commented on 2012-08-19 12:19 (UTC)

Just to be sure I downloaded the tarball again, unpacked it with tar xzvf google-earth and ran makepkg again. Same error, my md5 seems to be '3dda103111cf68bdd2eff2485456bd98'. makepkg -g shows again that the checksum should be '3dda103111cf68bdd2eff2485456bd98'... Wonder if I'm getting a different license.html somehow from google then?

Det commented on 2012-08-19 12:04 (UTC)

I could. But it wouldn't make any difference.

jhernberg commented on 2012-08-19 11:38 (UTC)

@Det, did you try on i686?
