I have just installed the proprietary nvidia drivers on an x86_64
system, and have found that google-earth runs correctly when invoked by
any user except me (root, guest, etc.), but not when invoked by me (that
is jonrysh). The symptom is that when invoked jonrysh everything works
correctly (sidebar, top bar, tour guide, etc) EXCEPT for the main
window, which is supposed to show the world image; this window is black.
When invoked by any other user, google-earth runs exactly as expected.
The problem is not bad data in ~/.googleearth; when .googleearth is
deleted from my home directory things continue as before.
System Details
CPU: AMD 64-bits, 4 core
Video: GeForce 8400GS
OpSys: Fedora 17 with all updates
Driver: kmod-nvidia-3.7.3-101.fc17.x86_64-304.64-2.fc17.5.x86_64
Has anyone else seen this? What's the best way to investigate?
Thanks - jon
