When I run Google Earth, it runs very painfully slow. Any suggestions?
Partial success with:
$ DISPLAY=:0 googleearth
with XGl this ends up creating a weird window that doesn't interact with the rest of the desktop... but at least it's there.
Ubuntu 6.10 AMD64
running on Inspiron 1501
Turion 64 X2 TL-50
can anyone help?dave@dave-laptop:~$ sudo sh GoogleEarthLinux.bin

Uncompressing Google Earth for GNU/Linux 4.0.2414.......................................... ........................
./setup.sh: 284: setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/setup.gtk2: not found
./setup.sh: 299: setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/setup.gtk: not found
The setup program seems to have failed on amd64
Fatal error, installer failed to run at all!
I placed this in ~/google-earth and it at least got Google Earth initialized. However, Google Earth will only run in a software 3d emulation mode (meaning, it's not utilizing the 3d capabilities of my ATI Xpress 200M card). I have a healthy installation of xorg-driver-fglrx. Any idea as to how to get the 3d working correctly?
Thanks,
Jason

Meanwhile I upgrades to Edgy, I'v got 3D with the ATI driver, I couldn't get to work the fgrlx driver and it looks like that the fgrlx driver does not work, at least no with a ATI Radeon 9000 Pro. Then I installed Google earth and everything went smooth... I even see my pizza oven in the backyard..

I think googleearth is not ready for linux, only in some special cases... or linux is not ready for googleearth. On the windows boot on my system googleearth is working fast and shiny, in Dapper Drake, with 3D and direct renderin on, is functioning without error messages, but for any changes of the screen I must wait 20-25 minutes. So the best solution to trash googleearth from the linux boot and boot to XP...
I've got it running under Windows XP and Ubuntu Edgy on this box. It runs just fine in both Operating Systems. It might be slightly slower in Ubuntu but not much.
