google earth on Debian testing

I have tried to run google earth on current debian testing, both the package from google-earth and the one built by debians google-earth-package. Both of these when run cause the X server to crash back to the console with a segmentation violation, the initial loading screen shows, the screen switches to full screen with a black background, the crash occurs after another second or so. Anyone have any idea's, I may install Debian stable (7.4) and see if that works. Lindsay

I have problem to run google-earth on Mint 16 lately. If I try when network is connected google-earth almost always crashes (not X server). If network is disconnected it starts OK and when I reconnect network it keeps running. It is probably different bug but worth try... (and it may help somebody running Mint).
