Google Earth for Linux crashes under Kubuntu 7.04

[Erich H. Klee]

Binary package hint: arts

Guess that due to the ATI-Driver für Radeon graphicadapter?

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Your automated crash report is actually about arts not Google Earth, could you elaborate as to what happened? Thanks in advance.

I installed Google Earth and experienced crash when starting.

Cured by enabling 'Restricted drivers'. In particular the 3D graphics card a nVidia GeForce4 MX440

Select SYSTEM / ADMINISTRATION / RESTRICTED DRIVERS MANAGER, Tick the necessary box and restart the computer when instructed
