As firejail uses a special setup for /proc this symlink always stays intact, confusing GEP into believing it is still running, so it throws that message shown by you above when you try to start it again.
Without firejail I noticed GEP doesn't properly remove that path (which is a symlink to /proc/) after shutting down, resulting in a dangling symlink. A basic shell wrapper script can handle this, but I agree that's an ugly workaround at best (not to mention things breaks for users using firecfg). When that folder is removed it starts happily again here. Oddly enough, for me (also running Arch Linux btw) this doesn't happen after rm -f $/.googleearth/instance-running-lock before starting it again. googleearth folder at home.Įxisting process, or delete /home/xxxxxxxxx/.googleearth/instance-running-lock if this is an Confirming I see this too. usr/lib/libc.so.6(clone+0x43)įor now google-earth-pro only works fine the first time, when there is not any. opt/google/earth/pro/libbase.so(_ZN5earth10ThreadInfo16ThreadEntryPointEPv+0x1f) opt/google/earth/pro/libbase.so(_ZN5earth12WorkerThread9SpawnFuncEPS0_+0圆) opt/google/earth/pro/libbase.so(_ZN5earth12WorkerThread17SpawnFuncInternalEv+0x47) opt/google/earth/pro/libbase.so(_ZN5earth12WorkerThread14ProcessNextJobEv+0x7b) opt/google/earth/pro/libge_cache.so(_ZN5earth5cache12CacheManager10ManagerJob3RunEv+0xa) opt/google/earth/pro/libge_cache.so(_ZN5earth5cache12CacheManager7ReadJob5DoRunEv+0xb2) opt/google/earth/pro/libge_cache.so(_ZN5earth5cache12LdbDiskCache9ReadEntryERK10QByteArrayPS2_+0x103) opt/google/earth/pro/libgoogleearth_pro.so(+0x1a733a) googleearth, the program crashes when i open it again.
