Re: [Bug 295934] Re: [i965GME] missing characters in Google Earth with DRI enabled
This is an older bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/35741 but seems to indicate that nvidia drivers interfere with mesa. One of the posters corrected the problem by removing xorg-driver-fglrx and fglrx-control. These packages are not installed on my Dell, and I have GE working fine. You might give it a shot.

Do another update/upgrade today. Some of the Xorg packages were broke yesterday, and seem to be fixed today. -Original Message- From: ImChipBrown c...@westcoastbrowns.com Reply-to: Bug 295934 295...@bugs.launchpad.net To: a...@sailor.nu Subject: [Bug 295934] Re: [i965GME] missing characters in Google Earth with DRI enabled Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2008 19:16:04 - I did the Jaunty upgrade. GoogleEarth worked OK, but still slow. Lattice Screensaver - there is about a two second delay between, lets say, donuts, refreshing their new positions. Like the old flip-books, except you are not flipping fast enough. Metacity broke. I got a notice of 122 or so updates this morning and downloaded them all. Now, I get the GoogleEarth splash screen, the globe spins up a little, then the program quits (disappears). Maybe I've just screwed this up too badly. I've bounced back and forth between mesa-glx and mesa-swx11. I've dug up old xorg.conf files and started with fresh reconfigurations. I've screwed with DRM, FB, INTEL and i810, i915 settings in config-2.6.28-2-generic. Like I've said, maybe I've just dug myself too deep a hole. -- Andy (a...@sailor.nu) -- [i965GME] missing characters in Google Earth with DRI enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295934 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 295934] Re: [GME965] missing characters in Google Earth with DRI enabled
It's not necessary to upgrade from an iso. You can just change the references in /etc/apt/sources.list from hardy to jaunty, do apt-get update, then apt-get dist-upgrade. Aside from my Dell hanging up for a couple of minutes when kernel nfs drivers are loaded (I subsequently disabled them), Jaunty seems to work fine for me. -Original Message- From: ImChipBrown c...@westcoastbrowns.com Reply-to: Bug 295934 295...@bugs.launchpad.net To: a...@sailor.nu Subject: [Bug 295934] Re: [GME965] missing characters in Google Earth with DRI enabled Date: Sat, 13 Dec 2008 00:30:57 - OK. Downloaded Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope Alpha 1 iso for i386. I've booted from it but don't have the intestinal fortitude to tell it to Install.

I can confirm that upgrading to Jaunty seems to have fixed the problem. -- [GME965] missing characters in Google Earth with DRI enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295934 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Supplement to previous report. Replaced libgl1-mesa-glx with libgl1 -mesa-swx11.
