The source of the problem is that I assign a value in .bash_profile export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib/:/usr/lib/:/usr/local/lib/:/usr/local/lib64/ which causes the wrong libGL.so to be loaded when the proprietary nvidia graphics server is active. The latest version of libGL, included in Fedora-18 emits an error message, which allowed me to track to trouble down: $ google-earth libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast libGL error: Try again with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose for more details. $ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose google-earth libGL: screen 0 does not appear to be DRI2 capable libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast Thanks to all who helped - jon -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

One by one? No, you make some copies of your home directory: one not working (your current one), one working (a fully cleaned one). Then you delete some stuff from the bad one, until it works. Keep track of the last things you deleted and then try to restart with a full dir and delete only the last pieces. If you prefer, start with the empty one and copy stuff until it breaks (but deleting is easier than copying). If you have 100 things to check, the first attempt should be to delete 50 of them. This is called "bisection", you will find the answer much faster than one-by-one. -- Roberto Ragusamail at robertoragusa.it -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Thanks for the pointer. I tried out the Marble a few years ago, and didn't like it -- cute but not much functionality. Now much enhanced.

Interesting -- so there's more configuration info for google-earth in ~/.config/Google . And deleting it has the good result that there is now a cursor in the display area, which there never was before. Unfortunately still no images.

There are substantial shortcomings which Google persistently neglects. e.g. One must download obscure version of the 'libGL.so.1'[1][2] regardless installed one by distro.

I had to do this once a few years ago, due to something (right now I misremember what) that wouldn't work right for only my login. -- Fred Smith -- fre...@fcshome.stoneham.ma.us - The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. - Proverbs 15:3 (niv) - -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Actually installing xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 is the second thing you have to do to get google-earth to display properly.

Google Earth runs for all users except me
I have just installed the proprietary nvidia drivers on an x86_64 system, and have found that google-earth runs correctly when invoked by any user except me (root, guest, etc.), but not when invoked by me (that is jonrysh). The symptom is that when invoked jonrysh everything works correctly (sidebar, top bar, tour guide, etc) EXCEPT for the main window, which is supposed to show the world image; this window is black. When invoked by any other user, google-earth runs exactly as expected. The problem is not bad data in ~/.googleearth; when .googleearth is deleted from my home directory things continue as before.
