Google Earth on Bodhi 5.1 64-bit - Map section invisible?
I installed the latest Google Earth on my notebook with Bodhi 5.1 64-bit.
When I start Earth, all of the control bars are there but not the section with the globe.
Instead, I can see "through" that section, at the desktop of Bodhi.
There's no information available when started in the terminal.
But after downloading the .deb, using the wget command of that guide, I double-clicked that .deb.
Then it was installed with gdebi, just like any other .deb.
I also uninstalled the driver update after my previous post, because it didn't make any noticeable difference.

How can I fix this, please?

OK it is working here. I can see the globe and zoom in and all that. Hmm so what moksha theme are you using? What gtk theme?
Moksha is 0.3.1 and the theme is Moksha Arc Green.
When I run screenfetch in the terminal it says:
GTK Theme: Not available. [GTK2]
When I look it up in the settings, I get a lot of GTK themes and among them there's also Moksha Arc Green, but none of them seems to be selected.
Shouldn't the selected one be Moksha Arc Green, too?
Ok, but sorry, nothing has changed. There's still no globe.
Just like before, only in the upper left corner of the missing section, there's a small piece of that section with stars moving around, like they do at the beginning, when the globe comes up.
sorry about that. Was hoping it was a gtk issue. Hmm any errors in the terminal when you run it that may provide a clue? There is also a folder in your home directory that is hidden, .googleearth. It will place crash logs in there. That may not help as it is not crashing.
There is really not, such more I can offer. I think it is a closed source program and you are going to have to go to google themselves for help on it. A serious advanced developer maybe could run gdb on it or strace or other such programming tools and maybe see what it is wrong.
Since there are no error messages in the terminal, there are no hints regarding this problem. I've been thinking, maybe it's something about the graphics driver, but updating had no effect.
In my second post, I said, I updated the driver already, with no result. Was it the wrong one and do I need another one? Which one do you think is appropriate?
I'm trying to uninstall the mesa driver from the oibaf PPA using Method 2 of this page, but that doesn't work.
There are still lots of oibaf packages in Synaptic.
When I try to force the bionic version of them, Bodhi notifies me about many packages that have to be removed first, but these packages are so many, it looks like half of the entire system.
Is there any chance of preventing a reinstallation of Bodhi?
