    Try
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch
    then retry installing Google Earth.

    I just tried that and got this at
    "Reading package lists... Done

    Package ia32-libs-multiarch is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source

    E: Package 'ia32-libs-multiarch' has no installation candidate

    Code:
    sudo synaptic

    Check your software sources and make sure the universe repository is enabled.

    Yes. Can you run
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install -f
    and post the output?

    I don't really understand why it's not picking up ia32-libs-multiarch. Try
    Code:
    sudo apt-get clean
    
    sudo apt-get update
    
    sudo apt-get install google-earth-stable
    That last command assumes you have Google's repository enabled. Also, could you post
    Code:
    cat /etc/apt/sources.list
    ?
