Google Earth is acting up for me suddenly. It worked perfectly last time I used it (about 2 days ago), but now drop-down menus don't show any options other than the one my pointer is on, and when I click on placemarks the text either flashes briefly and then disappears, or never shows up at all.
I've tried a few things, from deleting GE's cache, to a complete reinstall of GE. Nothing fixed the problem.
When I run in terminal, I get the output
Code:
undefined:4: Can't find variable: ge_bridge
whenever I try to click on a placemark. There's also a "file" called "instance-running-lock" in /home/[my username]/.googleearth, which is locked and broken, and which I assume is related to the problem. It comes back when I try to start GE after I delete it.
At first I thought it might have been caused by my installing the screenlets plugin, but I doubt the two applications could possibly interact like that. Nothing else is broken (that I know of).
I'm running fully updated Jaunty on a Thinkpad R61e, Graphics card is Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller.
