GE Not initializing
      #468731 - 06/21/06 10:08 AM

hi there..
i had google earth working on my linux.
I have just compiled xorg 7.1, and now google earth freezes in the initializing screen..
I have already uninstalled ge and removed the cache files and all other google earth files. Then reinstalled and got the same problem.

Some info that might be useful

Distro: Slackware 10.2
kernel: 2.6.16.20
glib packages installed: glib-1.2.10-i386-2 ; glib2-2.10.3-i486-1 ; glibc-2.3.6-i486-3
CPU: Pentium 4 2.4
RAM: 768Mb
Video Card: S3 Savage (S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266])

in xorg i am using savage driver but had to disable tile (Option "DisableTile" "true")

well.. i guess this is it..

thanks in advance

Have you tried seeing what it is doing with strace ?

I have exactly the same problem. Doing strace shows the following before "freesing":

futex(0x818569c, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x818569c, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x818569c, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x818569c, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x818569c, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x818569c, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x818569c, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x818569c, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x818569c, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
futex(0x818569c, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0
ioctl(9, 0x4008642a, 0xbfa36418) = 0

I had the same problem after installing Suse 10.1 Pro on a new AMD64x2 XPLIO machine and thought it was an ATI Radeon on motherboard graphics card problem. That card gave me frequent white screens even with the proprietary driver. I thus bought an NVIDIA 7300 and overrode the ATI onboard card but had the same problem. Ouch. I checked and shut down the firewall and still had the same problem. I therefore decided to reinstall Suse 10.1 but this time without installing the firewall and voila Googleearth finally worked and went beyond the "initializing" stage. Odd that I have a Suse 9.2 AMD64 machine and had no problem with the firewall installed. The iptables rules must have changed to block Googleearth initializing. I am behind a firewall of another computer so I am not overly concerned with having no firewall on the new computer. Give it a shot without the firewall and see if it works but not for too long in an unprotected state. I would like to know what the changes in the firewall rules were, if at all, from 9.2 to 10.1.

Chngeing the firewall setting didn't make a difference. Besides, it only stoped working when I made the updated they advised me to do. So I gess it is a problem with the lates version.

i'm also experiencing the same problem. i'm running slackware with a linux 2.6 kernel, my video card is an onboard intel 855 gm. i installed the linux version of google earth, but when i try to run it, it hangs at the "initializing screen" my cpu, ram, and swap usage shoot up to 100% and i have to kill it. i haven't gotten any errors or anything either.

the last few lines of strace before ge hangs are:
Code:

futex(0x8158624, FUTEX_WAKE, 1)         = 0
futex(0x8158624, FUTEX_WAKE, 1)         = 0
futex(0x8158624, FUTEX_WAKE, 1)         = 0
futex(0x8158624, FUTEX_WAKE, 1)         = 0
futex(0x8158624, FUTEX_WAKE, 1)         = 0
futex(0x8158624, FUTEX_WAKE, 1)         = 0
write(3, "+\1\1\0", 4)                  = 4
read(3, "\1\1`\23\0\0\0\0\3\0`\1\0\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\22\0\0\0\310&\233"..., 32) = 32


to me it looks like ge is having a problem reading something, since it hangs right after that read.

I'm also having the same problem.
I'm using suse 10.1 x86_64

x.org version 6.9

display adapter ATI Mobility x1600

display driver ATI version 8.30.03

Tried stopping the suse firewall and even uninstalling the firewall

Other applications work fine with 3d acceleration

if i edit the default_lt.kvw file and comment out the windowstack render window section i get past the initializing screen but it is still unusable. otherwise I'm stuck on initializing and the cpu and memory usage spike.

Not sure what else to try.

Does anyone know what it is trying to do when it says initializing?
