I have an issue that it seems quite a few people are having also with google earth in ubuntu 10.04, and google earth not being able to login to the google server as mentioned in the thread...

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1367651

As i have mentioned in that thread this only came about after installing 10.04, I had zero problems running the exact same version of google earth under 9.04 (jaunty), the error message that GE gives points to a help article from google

http://earth.google.com/support/bin/...&answer=117452

which is not really helpful at all, apart from mentioning about adding rules to your firewall to allow google earth to connect to certain servers on port 80. I thought I'd download GUFW to try an add rules but see no way to add rules on a per application basis unlike what I have been used to in windows with the likes of comodo (except for a few seemingly pre-defined torrent apps in a drop down in gufw).
Is it possible, using the terminal, to add google earth to connect to


on port 80
as google's help points out, and if so how do I do this?
