There was a problem hiding this comment.
Is it possible to use a mirror here to prevent the silent updates by Google in future?

Same result for me - The app launches, but there's no globe. My machine is an Intel NUC6i7KYK. I get this output in the shell: |

Very similar log in my case, and no globe. Also, sometimes it shows a dialog saying that the application was not installed properly |

Googling for "google earth black screen linux" unfortunately gives quite a few hits with no definitive solution. Since we cannot build the old version (7.1) as all the download links now point to 7.3 upstream, I'd be inclined to mark this as broken unless somebody has some really bright ideas. |

Recently @lebastr published a fix for an older version, which actually attaches *deb package to the ./binaries folder of nixpkgs. lebastr/nixpkgs-channels@fcdd954 The fix do work, so if one could use third-party hosting to put the *deb and link to it then the problem with the 7.1 version would be solved (not sure about possible license issues). |

@peterhoeg I don't know how deep you dug some months ago so I might just repeating things. According to this thread (https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/maps/IHTPNCzW4EA;context-place=topicsearchin/maps/category$3Alinux%7Csort:relevance%7Cspell:false) Google Earth 7.3 doesn't support several graphic drivers anymore. We stay at 7.1 (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bx0YZ3Xi3rgTcTNjelJwUEVkNDQ/view), however I'm not sure if this is the best solution since we'll have to find a better approach sooner or later (and I'm unfortunately no expert when it comes to graphic drivers :D) |

Tried this with version updated to 7.3.1, same black screen issue here, output: crashlog: |

Not worth the hassle. |

This is still WIP as it launches with a black screen on a Yoga 2 Pro with intel
graphics and a no-brand desktop using nVidia 650GTX and the nouveau driver but I'd be very interested to see if it runs for other people - especially @chris-martin ref #30491.
