Titel: Cannot install Google Earth linux beta  BeitragVerfasst am: 06.07.2006, 14:27 Uhr

I downloaded the GoogleEarthLinux.bin file today. In Terminal logged in as su, did chmod, then ./Google..etc. Started the installation OK, uncompressed, then:

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

How to fix this?

Do you need to execute as root or will user suffice?

Just forget the "su" and do everything as normal user. The installer just unpacks the bin-archive and stores it in one of the users directory, from where it can easily be run.

Btw, I wouldn't assign root priviledges to any program I just downloaded from somewhere on the net, so I'm quite happy that this is not necessary with Google Earth. Winken

The error your getting is most likely you are trying to run an app from a terminal as something like "root"


Recommended configuration

* Kernel 2.6 or later
* glibc 2.3.5 w/ NPTL or later
* x.org R6.7 or later
* System Memory (RAM): 512MB
* Hard Disk: 2GB free space
* Network Speed: 768 Kbits/sec
* Graphics Card: 3D-capable with 32MB of VRAM
* Screen: 1280x1024, 32 bit color

1) Go to Google Earth Beta (Version 4) and verify that your hardware/software meets requirements. Download it for Linux and make it executable

2) As user open a terminal and then cd into the directory where the .bin file resides. example: cd /home/piper

3) type ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin (note the ./ before the command... this is required when running ANYTHING from a location not in your path.

4) Follow onscreen instructions.

To use the app go to kmenu > internet > google earth

Piper,

I downloaded and tried to install per your instructions and got permission denied. I reread your recommeded configuration and realized I didn't really read it. I have easter-rc4 which I downloaded and installed yesterday and all of the hardware is good. What is and how do I get glibc and x.org? I am trying to get kpackage installed because of the way adept is (not) working.

Thanks,

John

jbs ... if you've installed easter-rc4 then you should have everything including xorg. (Don't do a dist-upgrade or it may take away kde)

Doing instruction 3 above will give you a permission denied unless you make the file executable ... after you do "cd /home/johny" do "chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin" and then "./GoogleEarthLinux.bin"

Worked like a charm. Thank you very much.
I think I need to read up on chmod.
