I have just installed the proprietary nvidia drivers on an x86_64

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
Hey Jon,
Try this. It worked for me:
/etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-persian.conf (a symbolic link to /etc/fonts/conf.avail/65-fonts-persian.conf).
Removing that symbolic link, GoogleEarth starts correctly
if this really is the reson it shows that i am right
to uninstall any not really used package

My first instinct was to remove the offending package so:
yum whatprovides */65-fonts-persian.conf
yum erase fontconfig
It wanted to Remove 410 Package(s)
I decided to pass on that and just:
mv 65-fonts-persian.conf to 65-fonts-persian.conf.save
Now that I'm thinking about it this is probably not Jon's problem since
G Earth starts under other users on his machine but it is a problem that
may be stopping other people from starting G Earth on their machines.
