[SOLVED]unable to see map on googleearth amd64
hey ya'll, Iinstalled googleearth without any problems on my sid amd64 box, and everything appears to work fine, the program runs and apparently works, the only thing is that the map is not visible, where the earth's globe should be I can only see the black background, I have the nvidia drivers installed and my box works beautifully except for this little thing.
any ideas on what I could do?
thanks.

Doesn't work and I doubt anyone's going to do anything about it. But, hey, don't let me stop you. Misery loves company! I also have sid/64AMD/Nvidia.

Google-Earth is a proprietary application. I have never been able to install it on Lenny or Squeeze. The only disro I have installed it on is Linux-Mint .

Re: unable to see map on googleearth amd64
Jay, how did you install the Nvidia drivers? Google Earth is a 32-bit app, and requires Nvidia's 32-bit compatibility libraries to work properly on your amd64 setup.
Google Earth works fine on my 64-bit Squeeze box. I installed the Nvidia drivers manually for my 9800GT...

install ia32-libs-gtk lib32nss-mdns ia32-libs lib32ncurses5 packages.
Use the googleearth-package to build the .deb then dpkg -i to install the .deb

Re: unable to see map on googleearth amd64
I had the same problem (all these packages were installed). But after I did as noted before and installed nvidia-glx-ia32 package, GE finally worked.craigevil wrote:install ia32-libs-gtk lib32nss-mdns ia32-libs lib32ncurses5 packages.

Re: unable to see map on googleearth amd64
I had done everything posted above except for meho_r's solution, that solved the issue and GE works great now, thanks.

Google now supplies a deb package for GE that will also add a repository for the program, much like Chrome.

Re: [SOLVED]unable to see map on googleearth amd64
For those of us on AMD/ATI systems, install the fglrx-glx-ia32 package. It works for me after months of hunting, this fix worked! Thank you so much!
