Google Earth,Wine-Doors, others not working [Solved]

[Espreon]

Yeah, Google Earth is not working, it onced worked in Ubuntu (but it stopped working in Ubuntu also). It never worked in Sabayon (I suspect XGL is the culprit). Also I got Wine-Doors to work once (I used it flawlessly in Ubuntu) it was able to create the all important Wine Drive and the submenu in the SUSE Styled KDE menu. But I tried running Wine-Doors in a terminal and it gave me a blank window for 2 milisecs and a bunch of errors in the terminal (I will post them later when I get home). And 2 games won't work (I forgot which ones but I will tell bout them when I get home to my Sabayon computer).

I am running a Dell Inspiron 1505 with 1 GB of RAM, a ATI Radeon x1400 Mobility with XGL and the fglrx driver ( I believe)

With Google Earth it just gives me the Startup Splash and freezes (not the whole comp).
Also Compiz-Fusion is not working (got it to work pretty good under Ubuntu), it gave me errors when running it in the terminal (I will post those and try to run Google Earth in the terminal and post those errors). Beryl works fine though (how do I install the unsupported Beryl plugins?)

And finally I can;t get Mettise working that good, (only works in GNOME) sometimes I can see the panels and most of the time I can't when I open 1 window the panels stop working (I can play around with the window just fine).

When I get home I will post the outputs from the terminal and post my xorg.conf

You have to unmerge and remerge wine and wine-doors. Somehow they went out borked.

[Espreon]

I'll try that when I get home.

Also if you can post some of these errors you're getting with Compiz Fusion, I'm sure we can work them out.

BTW How do I install the unsupported Beryl Plugins?

[Fitzcarraldo]

If Google Earth 4.0.2723 just hangs at the splash screen and your PC has an ATI graphics card then try the following fix, which makes Google Earth use an older version of an ATI library (the older library is put in the Google Earth directory and does not affect the latest version of the library, which is in a different directory).

Download the file ati-driver-installer-8.27.10-x86.run from the ATI Web site. I downloaded it to my Desktop (/home/fitzcarraldo/Desktop). Then type the following commands into a Terminal window:

Code: Select all

$ sudo mkdir /tmp/ati_extract

$ sudo sh /home/fitzcarraldo/Desktop/ati-driver-installer-8.27.10-x86.run --extract /tmp/ati_extract
 
$ sudo cp /tmp/ati_extract/arch/x86/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /opt/googleearth/libGL.so.1

To launch Google Earth, either type the following into a Terminal window:

Code: Select all

$ DISPLAY=:0 googleearth

or edit the command in the Application tab of the Google Earth Desktop Config File (which was installed automatically when you installed SL to the HDD) to say DISPLAY=:0 googleearth %f instead of just “googleearth %f”.

Apparently some people have to use e.g. “DISPLAY=:93” instead “DISPLAY=:0”. You can probably tell which one is needed by looking in the /var/log/Xorg.?.log file.

I had the same problem with Wine-doors, after I had run the initial Wine-doors setup. Unmerging, ~/.wine-doors and ~/.wine, and re-emering, did the trick for me.

Thanx, fitzcarraldo, Google Earth works great now!
