Not working Googleearth in FD64
I tried to have googleearth working in FD64 with no success. I tried in wine 1.9.6, it installs fine, I can see the menu but the main screen stays black. I tried also to install 64 bit linux version from Google website but I get an error /usr/bin/googleearth.bin not found. Have anyone here had succes in having a working googleearth in FD64, native or in wine emulator? Please, any hint will be welcomed !
Sorry for posting here, I should post the message in FadDog 702 section!!!!

SFS in FatDog64-702 not working
Hmm...I just tried unpacking 666philb's 64-bit Tahrpup64-605CE Google Earth .sfs file
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... atched.sfs
, which works fine in Tahrpup64-605CE...
converted it to a .pet using dir2pet, and then to a .txz using pet2txz, all within FatDog64-702...result the same as yours...
Same result when using the procedure described at
http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/web/fa ... ckage.html.
Back to Fedora-23 I go...

Let us know if this fixes google-earth's problem. Thanks
ld-lsb isn't found in Fatdog's repo, so you'll have to borrow another Puppy's or Debian's or Arch's, ...top search result wrote: I found a solution for it.
Just install lsb-core package (Debian/Ubuntu) or any similar package that supplies /lib/ld-lsb.so.3 for other distribuitions.
I discovered it looking for similar problem at another package: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1060828
It runs fine on my Debian 64

Not working Googleearth in FD64 --ld-lsb is not it
No success. I corrected the symlink /lib/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 to point to /lib64/ld-2.19.so and added the symlink ld-lsb.so.3 in /lib64 pointing also to /lib64/ld-2.19.so and still get the error message.
FatDog64-702 also cannot see the copy of Google Earth on my Fedora-23 partition. Screenshot:

diagnostic process on Google Earth in FD710
I tried it with both 32-bit and 64-bit. This is the official current 64-bit .rpm, unpacked and then squashed in accordance with the instructions in help, loaded in FatDog 710 (the bracket-parentheses in urxvt between ./googleearth and the error line are from some diagnostic code I inserted in the googleearth script):

32-bit isn't the issue, I think. When I tried I used 666philb's 64-bit Tahrpup64-605CE Google Earth .sfs file http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... atched.sfs unloaded wine and the 32-bit compatibility libraries. I verified that all 64-bit libs googleearth-bin depends on are available in Fatdog64 as 64-bit libs and they are. I used this command IIRC:
Code: Select all
objdump -p googleearth-bin | awk '/NEEDED/ print $2' | xargs find . /lib* /usr/lib* -name

Hmm, try this:
1. Create this symlink (a workaround for lack of lsb-core):
2. Extract the official google-earth.deb and copy stuff from opt to the real /opt.
3. Now, move your mouse cursor to the far right edge of the screen, so it's not visible.
4. Start ./googleearth and do not move the mouse until the app is fully loaded.
The 'mouse' bit may not be necessary, but it was in my case and so for some others.
Greetings!

With due respect and thanks to SFR who have provided the updated, current, and correct step-by-step, and everyone else who helped: this question was asked two years ago, and I answered that here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 671#783671.
As an aside - the "Free" Google Earth is available on 64-bit (and 32-bit) flavours. The "Pro" (or "Plus") Google Earth is only available on 32-bit so you'll need the 32bit sfs. The "Pro" one is slightly more complicated to install (you need to manually do it since the installer doesn't seem to work - two untar-s and a few directory manipulations if you want menus), but they seem to work. "seem" is the keyword

Oh yes, I think I've seen this post before, most likely that's where I learned the ld-lsb trick from.jamesbond wrote:http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 671#783671
Btw, regarding the crash. According to this discussion (sorry, can't "URL-ize" this particular link):
https://productforums.google.com/forum/ ... orum/earth
it's a problem with bundled QT4 libs...

Googleearth in FD64 still not 100%
I've been playing with it all day and, though I did manage to come up with an .sfs which would start and run, based on Mr Wolf's work, it was not very stable and could not show Panoramio views. I believe that a successful Google Earth for FatDog 710 would need to have all the dependency libraries compiled in FatDog from source.
Back to Fedora-23 I go. Just a minute, I'll post an impressive screencap from there.

Google Earth 6, 7, and Pro running simultaneously on F23
Here's a screencap of Google Earth Pro running at upper left as spot under wine, Google Earth 7 at upper right running as root, and Google Earth 6 running at bottom as spot, all three with full Panoramio functionality, running simultaneously under Fedora-23.
AMD r7 260x video card using the radeon driver, i5-3570K cpu on an Asus P8H77-I mainboard. (The fglrx driver does run, but its performance is not significantly better than the radeon driver, and it has a nasty habit of randomly shutting down the gpu fan ).
One example of why I really, really like Fedora-23. YMMV but on this mainboard, the way I have it set up, nothing is impossible, everything installs and just works without fuss (except fglrx!), and it is dead stable. Also acceptably fast, though not quite Quirky fast!
