[RESOLVED] (?) Google Earth still has probs.

Have done a fresh install of G-Earth & it really seems flawed, unless it is looking for a bigger & faster Gamers graphics card. - The X.Org nouveau driver is installed.---Seems many Linux users get probs with this one.

Also, when getting the Medibunutu repository, it gave me this message:: WARNING:softwarecenter.db.update:The file: '/usr/share/app-install/desktop/sonic-visualiser:x-sonicvisualiser-layer.desktop' could not be read correctly. The application associated with this file will not be included in the software catalog. Please consider raising a bug report for this issue with the maintainer of that application

Hi,

do not worry too much about the message from Medibuntu!. I ignore it and don't have problems myself!.

Check your other threads about my offer for GE6.

Regards Wolfman

Looking for GE6 & I was prompted to load a few things. After the 1st lot, G.E. worked well, so I then loaded (terminal again) the stuff marked for Zorin 7, and did the Recovery, then soft boot (alt-cntrl-enter) and now G.E. is totally dead.

Must have been looking in the wrong places.

WORKING AGAIN.(ALMOST fine..) - Redid the earlier part of the installation re B&W image, 3rd page of that subject Don't think I raised that one. - On checking Synaptic again, it claims I am now using Nvidia binary Xorg driver, Kernel module and VPAU library from Nvidia-304 (open source)..
Works better but still will not open any photos in all those tiny links. Maybe GE 6 would work here. Do not know.

Hi,

GE7 doesn't work with pics because it is faulty and that is why I offered to send you GE6 via Email if you want it!!.

Regards Wolfman

GE 7.1 has the problems.
GE 7.0 works fine in all aspects (no crashes, pics, etc.)

G.E.6, via e-mail would be great. Do you wish me to put my e-mail address up, or do you do it through this site? - Thanks.

Hi,

PM me your Email address, don't put it out here!.

@MV, I think it has something to do with regional variations as I have both English and German versions and neither work fully, you I think have a Greek version if I remember correctly!.

Hi,

check your Email inbox!.

Have kept an eye on the inbox all day & seen nothing yet. - Rgds.

Hi,

delivery failed, see your PM inbox for details, file too big!.

I may have to abandon G.E. for the moment. - At least the version I have is semi-usable. - No photos even though I have enabled them. - Will keep looking for G.E.6 bit by bit.Many sites out there claim to have it (Windows only) & some a blind for something else. -Have noticed a few sites that claim G.E. is fundamentally flawed when it comes to Ubuntu, or other Linux packages. At the end of the day, it must be seen as a Google Earth problem, and not Zorin. Will simply have to keep looking for v6.2 & try that. --Regards.

Thanks for that BUT, it seems much the same. Un-installed the other version via terminal per your earlier post, and put this new one in. - It works, slightly jerky, and will not open pix, like the other version. - Seems it gives many people a hard time in many forms of Linux, from what I have seen. - The first time I had it was in Ubuntu 9.10 (same graphics card) and it was good. - In all distros since, it has been flaky. Thanks for the help anyway. As I noted earlier, obviously not a Zorin problem, but Google developers themselves. -- Regards.

Hi,

try running "DPKG" per this guide and see if that helps your "jerky" system:

A network cable is required for the above!!.
