 |
|
I have a problem Installing Google Earth on Archlinux.
I tried today to Install Google Earth from the Google Sources.
| Code: |
[jada@arch-01 ~]$ su
Password:
[root@arch-01 jada]# cd /home/jada/install
[root@arch-01 install]# ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin
bash: ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin: Permission denied
[root@arch-01 install]# exit
exit
[jada@arch-01 ~]$
|
Permission denied ?
What did I make wrong?

Installing the old library
Download the file ati-driver-installer-8.27.10-x86.run from the ATI Web site. I downloaded it to my Desktop (/home/(my location). Then type the following commands into a Terminal window (replacing "/home/(my location)" with the directory where you stored the downloaded file):
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-8.27.10-x86.run
Su or Sudo
| Code: |
$ mkdir /tmp/ati_extract
$ /home/(Your Download Install Folder)/ati-driver-installer-8.27.10-x86.run --extract /tmp/ati_extract
$ cp /tmp/ati_extract/arch/x86/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /opt/googleearth/libGL.so.1 |
How to launch Google Earth
There are two alternative ways of launching Google Earth: from the command line or via the GUI. To launch Google Earth from the command line, type the following into a Terminal window:
| Code: | | /opt/google-earth//googleearth %f |

"Maxfeldstr. 5" warscheinlich auch noch ein ACER Notebook 
openSUSE 10.3 with sis660 use the VESA Graphic Driver. This openSUSE VESA driver have no 3D supported.
Well googleearth need 3D supported.
You ned to go to the sis website and download the linux driver.
http://www.sis.com
so far ....., I see there is no SiS660 driver avaible. You can try another driver and hope it will work |

ATI too. ATI have a better driver support and ATI drivers are build from the community. The ATI drivers are opensource and nvidia driver are still close. |
