How can I get Google Earth working?

Here are some methods to install google earth :

Method 1: Medibuntu Medibuntu offers a Google Earth package for Ubuntu 10.04. You can download and install it here. Scroll to the bottom of the page and select your system type (i386/32 bit, amd64/64 bit) to start the download. Double-click on the downloaded package to open the Package Installer, and click Install Package.

Start Google Earth from Applications->Internet->Google Earth.

Method 2: googleearth-package If the Medibuntu package is out of date or unavailable, you can create your own package with an easy script. The Ubuntu repositories offer a script which can create an easy to install Google Earth package for you.

Open Ubuntu Software Center and install googleearth-package. Open Applications->Accessories->Terminal Type the command: make-googleearth-package --force Wait for the script to build your package. This could take a minute or two depending on the speed of your computer and your Internet connection. At the end you should see: Success! You can now install the package with e.g. sudo dpkg -i .deb You should now have a Google Earth package waiting in your home folder. Open Places->Home Folder, find the package named googleearth_VERSION_ARCH.deb, double-click to open the Package Installer, and click Install Package. Start Google Earth from Applications->Internet->Google Earth. If you’re having trouble, check out the Ubuntu Community Documentation on Google Earth. I’ve also written previously about installing Google Earth using the installer from Google.
