Google earth pro код ошибки c00a0194

One for the experts.
In short I am setting up another computer upgrading from Mint 18 Cinnamon to Mint 19.3 Cinnamon.
All has gone well until I got to installing Google Earth Pro and it doesn’t load completely.
Here is a screenshot showing what is happening.

The menus load and a small corner in the top left, and another in bottom right, but the rest is transparent showing the desktop icons underneath.
I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled but no luck. I’ve rebooted the computer after installation but no change.
Given that all the other programs installed run how they should, I guess it is a “Google Earth Pro” problem but what?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Bob

It’s a semi common problem.
It seems some versions of GE won’t run on certain hardware…I guess.
I have a slightly older version (7.1.8.xxxx) of GE Pro on my mint 19 working without problems
You can download it here; https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bx0YZ3 … VkNDQ/view

It is safe, and I’m not the only one to do so. See older post on this forum, if you need confirmation.

Notes;
1) Remember to remove your current version first.
2) Blacklist google-earth-pro-stable in Update Manager. (you don’t want to upgrade to a non working version again)

Thanks for your input rick but unfortunately it hasn’t solved the problem so far, but it may be me screwing something up.

So far I have used Synaptic Packet Manager to Completely remove ver. 7.3.3.7786-r0.

I then followed your instructions and installed ver. 7.1.8.3036-r0

I was advised there was a later version which I declined and went ahead with the 7.1.8 version which completed OK and showed up in Synaptic Packet Manager as being installed along with advice there was a later version

I then thought it was time to try it but I got much the same as originally reported except the whole computer locked up and then crashed and rebooted.

So I thought I’d remove the early version and reinstall it, so once again I used Synaptic and it completed fine. However, when I went to reinstall I was advised the same version was already installed and would I like to reinstall it.

I accepted but when I tried it again I was back to square one.

I’m wondering if Synaptic isn’t completely removing the existing installation and that is causing the problem?

Maybe, to check try

and for extra good measure you could get rid of the config’s in your home as well (although I don’t think this is necessary)
rm ~/.googleearth

I swear it is working here,

Hmmm, this is above my head so I’ll sleep on it.

It seems from the output of the first command, that GE is completely removed.

The second command return indicate that I forgot the «-r» option…you can’t remove a folder with any content without it. Should have been; rm -r ~/.googleearth

I do not know why the older version is not working for you.
Sorry I wasn’t more help.

FWIW, GE 7.3.3.7786 (64-bit) out of the Software Manager works great on my system.

If you think tough men are dangerous, wait until you see what weak men are capable of.

Well this just gets sillier.

Having had a sleep, shower, and breakfast I thought I’d check my mail and here was notifications from a number of people which I’ll deal with now.
(10:30am Sunday down here)

@rick, I corrected that terminal instruction to include the -r option, the screen flashed and the Terminal went back to how it goes when awaiting the next instruction.

I then thought I’d try to install 7.1.8.3036 -r0 again and get this message.

Quite what that is all about completely eludes me.

The other thing is that according to numerous posts on the Web, Google are working on killing off the old programs in order to give them complete control of your computer whereby updates will be mandatory with no way of turning them off.

Sounds like Microsoft Win10 doesn’t it?

I’ve never seen that error before, from myself or others here…it «could» be as simple as a lost connection…stated at the end of details.
I say that because I just now installed that same old GE version on a Mint 20 (5.4 kernel) virtual machine, again without errors ?

As far as google taking «complete control of your computer» , or my computer, I won’t be worrying about that. FWIW I have one machine with win 10 on it, and it gets NO automatic updates.

I’m researching your error, but don’t see anything right away that’s [SOLVED]
here’s one, with a link, maybe you start looking too…

Well this is a doozey.

After 7 months I wanted to use Google Earth again and nothing, absolutely nothing, has changed since my initial post in this thread.

It still won’t work, even after complete Uninstallation and Reinstallation and all the present problems are exactly the same as they were initially.

The joke is that I Googled the problem hoping the problem may have been solved in the interim, given all the updates including kernels, and at the top of the list was this thread.

There are pages of problems, but nothing I can find useful in fixing things.

So I guess the bottom line is «has anyone found a fix in the last 7 months»?

Duh….

I installed Google Earth a while back, but never got around to running it.

and just now met up with this, which seems to be what you have.

and when I click on OK, it vanishes

Thanks for that AZgl1500.

I never got the Graphic Card message, but the rest looks like exactly the same problem.

The Graphic Card never occurred to me because all other programs work fine.

Anyway, I’ll follow this lead and get back when I’ve something to report.

On this backup computer of mine Google Earth is also broke:

You might have to save that file to your computer before playing it.

It’s going to be 10+ days before I get home and try GE on my main machine.
