Google Earth crashes when opened
The solution is to remove (or rename) the ~/.googleearth
directory.
- Close Google-Earth
Rename the directory
mv ~/.googleearth ~/old_googleearth
- Start Google-Earth and be happy.
Well, with Fedora 23 this didn’t help. I had to install the 32 bit version of Google-Earth. At least it works now.
I have the same problem .. the only way to fix it as far as I know and according to the other forums about googe earth crashing on start up is on start - up just try not to move the mouse and wait for it to be stable (like when the earth has been fully loaded) It works for me .. so give it a try
The only workaround for me was to disconnect from the Internet before starting the program.
I downloaded the latest version of google-earth-stable_current_amd64.deb
and installed it by Ubuntu Software. I am using Ubuntu 16.04.
The better solution to my mind is to install such unstable programs on Virtualbox. But what could I do if the Virtualbox didn't install?
