[EN] [Solved 17 DEC] Googleearth blues -- 64-bit, Nvidia GTX-480

[holgerw]

Maybe the earth really is gone and we are living in a big illusion?

(sorry for this but I couldn't resist )

Ya, that sounds like Swedish philosophy to me.   :lol:

No @dibl, that sounds like a postmodern view, one of basic categories is illusion, or german spoken: Die Täuschung ist das Silikon der Postmoderne :lol:

But I don't think, @vilde represent such a position. :-)

Kind regards,
  Holger

Re: Bug#686033: libgl1-nvidia-glx: 304.37-1 libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386, removes libgl1-nvidia-glx (amd64) and Nvidia driver

Hi,

with the 304 drivers in current unstable, this bug even means that 32bit
apps get no acceleration at all since the ia32 packages have already
been removed.

I can confirm that the patch by you, Andreas, is working fine. The
problems with the conffile are caused by a bug in dpkg [1] and there are
other packages triggering it, like libpam-modules. Would it be
appropriate for the NVidia packagers to do an NMU on libxvmc to fix this
situation? Note that I am not speaking about Wheezy here, but about the
current broken status of Sid.
If that'd be of any help, I could do an upload to mentors.d.o (don't
know if that's also used for NMUs, sorry if this is wrong).

Kind regards,
Ralf

Hi,

I just applied a crude HACK that makes libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386
co-installable with libgl1-nvidia-glx:amd64 to the packages in sid and
experimental.

My reply:

Thank you Andreas.

I can confirm that your hacked package installed correctly here on my 64-bit sid system, with no destruction to the nvidia driver:

"root@imerabox:/# apt-cache policy libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386
libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386:
  Installed: 304.48-2
  Candidate: 304.48-2
  Version table:

     304.37-0 0
        500 http://packages.siduction.org/user/ unstable/non-free i386 Packages"

Thank you very much!

However, even with this issue "fixed" (or hacked around), the 64-bit googleearth package, as created by googleearth-package, depends on ia32-libs-gtk, which will cause massive removals if it is installed.  I am going to grab a 32-bit machine and make a googleearth package, and see what happens if I try to install that one on a 64-bit system.

EDIT:  Nope (but it was a fun experiment!)

Did you manage to solve the no-earth problem dibl? Same problem I'm having here. 64bit with an nvidia card, Dell Inspiron 6200.

[dibl]

I checked about a week ago -- no improvement.  Still the ia32-libs-gtk dependency, which will rip out half your packages if you try to force it.  So, we wait ......

[cylverbak]

thanks dibl. Miss googleearth . . . sigh . . .

OK, here is quasi-good news:  This morning I was "successful" in installing googleearth on my 64-bit multiarch-enabled system, with nvidia proprietary driver.  I put "successful" in quotes, because it was not pretty.  Here are the highlights of the process:

And 5 minutes of spinning the Earth and zooming indicates that Googleearth is working correctly.  So, if you want to do this to your system, then you can probably have googleearth today.

Now, I must decide whether I like Googleearth better than radiotray.  Hmmmmmm.

Did you take a look at

Code: [Select]

apt-cache depends google-earth-package
?

When I did that today I saw 3 xxx:i386 packages on the list, that I did not have installed.  But when I previously tried to install the googleearth deb package, there was no complaint about these 3 packages.  So I think it might install even with the missing dependencies, which might make it crash.  (Just guessing ....)

I think you have an extra hyphen  "-" in "googleearth"  ;-)

So, I did not have bzip2:i386, file:i386, or x11-utls:i386.  But googleearth-package would install without them, which is a bug.  So I removed googleearth-package, installed the 3 :i386 files, then reinstalled googleearth-package, then ran make-googleearth-package, then proceeded to install the deb as shown in my post above.

dibl, what's your comment about google-earth vs Radio Tray? Not possible to install both? Radio Tray is working nicely here. I'll try your Google Earth fix this afternoon.
