Sorry Bryce, Per my last post of 12-22-08, I've gone way back to 8.04 and am happy again. I've been VERY selective about any "Recommended" upgrades I'm getting notified of. If you still want that output, I'll figure out how to get it to you. I'll be damned! I see the xserver-xorg ... etc. etc.

Apologies, all. On 12-18-08 I reported a success in getting GoogleEarth back to normal. It was true until the next reboot. Other complaints about Lattice screensavers and LBreakout2 (these also really test your graphics) resurfaced. I backed up everything that would back-up with Grsync, then wip

I fought and lost. I was able to get the fonts back in GoogleEarth, but the speed of the program was unacceptable (for me). There were other manifestations that the "fix" was more of a band aid. Slow Lattice screensaver, Lbreakout graphics problems. I played with the /boot/config files, the /et

Crap. I got this thing to work and I don't know how (exactly). I followed the thread and at the very bottom I found: aptitude remove xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-control I did that, rebooted, and no luck. But, in the Xorg.0.log I noticed i915.dri.so failed (no file?) Did a search of my machine an

There were a lot more updates (44?), but I've only managed to get GoogleEarth to show the splash screen, then disappear. At least I don't have to see the globe attempt to spin-up ;-} I think I have an interesting (to whom, I don't know) Xorg.0.log. Seems i915_dri.so can't be found or whatever.

I did the Jaunty upgrade. GoogleEarth worked OK, but still slow. Lattice Screensaver - there is about a two second delay between, lets say, donuts, refreshing their new positions. Like the old flip-books, except you are not flipping fast enough. Metacity broke. I got a notice of 122 or so updat

OK. Downloaded Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope Alpha 1 iso for i386. I've booted from it but don't have the intestinal fortitude to tell it to "Install". Is this what is suggested? -- [GME965] missing characters in Google Earth with DRI enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295934 You received

My Dell Latitude 610 was as close to perfect as I could get it under Ubuntu 8.04. The upgrade to 8.10 broke the graphics (most of the cool screensavers, GoogleEarth, LBreakout2). It screwed up VirtualBox: cursor freezes when I start a Virtual Windows XP session and remains onscreen, VitualBox's c

For what it's worth (maybe not much). I had that missing number issue (see Trip's 9/4/08). That was an improvement from the slowness. Prior to 8.10 upgrade, Google Earth was fast, not jerky, all characters, overlays, etc. gorgeous. (oh, system Dell Latitude D610, integrated Intel 915GM, 1GB).

This will be next to useless info, but I had GoogleEarth working perfectly with my Dell Latitude D610 (i915GM video) under Ubuntu 8.04. I updated to Ubuntu 8.10, and it broke GoogleEarth (same disappearing font issue). Street names are OK, but status info, city names are screwed. Also, I use the L

Hi. Hope this screenshot illustrates the GoogleEarth problem. (It was great before 8.10, and its still not THAT bad). City names are missing letters (usually vowels, but not always). Street names are fine, though I did have to screw around with font settings, and can't tell you what worked. I
