Nvidia driver update 570.144 killed googleearth and kde marble

English Applications
1

I noticed marble stopped working and started a thread on that. I then noticed that google-earth said it couldn’t find any drivers and also stopped working. I reverted my nvidia graphic drivers update done on 4/20 to 570.144 back to 570.133 (previous version) and both marble and googleearth started working as before.

I unenabled the nvida repo to prevent reloading 570.144.

Hopes this helps someone. My system info is below.

Looks like you have googleearth running with nvidia 570.144. Wouldn’t happen for me until I reverted back to 570.133.

Must be something system specific to my system.

I will skip the 570.144 update and wait for the next one. I have an old (approx 7 yr) nvidia card and I am not sure if updates affect my system at all.
