How to make Google-Earth SFS for Fatdog64-800b? _SOLVED_

#1 Post by superchook »

I would like to have an SFS of Google-Earth compatible with Fatdog64-800b and not finding one have tried to make my own.
So far have found and _EXTRACTED_ a pet from the Xenialpup64 repository and placed it in /mnt/home/ on this laptop. The result of the extraction was a 182M directory google-earth-pro-stable_7.1.8.3036-ro_amd64
This directory contained in turn an opt and usr directory together with a pet spec file which I deleted.
Next I opened a terminal and cd to /mnt/home and executed
./dir2sfs google-earth-pro-stable_7.1.8.3036-ro_amd64
which produced a 52M google-earth-pro-stable_7.1.8.3036-ro_amd64.sfs
I loaded this sfs using the System SFS Loader tool and took the option to have it loaded on next boot.
I rebooted and not finding a menu entry for google-earth anywhere I opened a terminal and cd to /opt/google/earth/pro and did
./googleearth
the script returns a message googleearth-bin does not exist or not found.
but ls -lA shows it to exist with permissions rwxr-xr-x
Can anyone suggest what I should do or look for to move on fropm here?
I wish to be able to have a solution suitable for several computers but at this point I am running on an ASUS laptop booting from a 32GB USB stick and saving to a directory on the USB stick. Sysinfo gives the processor as
AMD E2-6110 APU with AMD Radeon R2 Graphics
memory 3448 MB (283 MB used)
Display 1336x768

TIA
Ken

All you need is to create this symlink:

Code: Select all

cd /lib64
ln -s ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3

You could also try this SFS packaged by OscarTalks http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 771#962771 It works for me in Fatdog-7x0 and 800b. It's 32-bit but Fatdog can run 32-bit binaries. When you load the SFS there will be a new icon in the system menu Internet category. OscarTalk said YMMV depending on graphics card, hardware, etc. I have an old nvidia and I use the stock nouveau driver with it.

I will mark this thread _SOLVED_. Adding the link as suggested by SFR fixed the problem so I did not investigate Step's solution.

I will now try James Bonds package on another computer.

Many thanks for responding.

Ken
