    I have found it easier to install "Ubuntu Tweak" first and install GE from there. Tweak makes life a lot easier to do a lot of things in Ubuntu.

    Open the Ubuntu Software Center, press "Edit," then click on "Software Sources." Make sure everything is checked, then click "Close." Close the Software Center, open it again, then try typing in googleearth.

    The easiest way to get GE is to enable the medibuntu repositories and install via Software Center or Synaptic.

    Google it, here is the info anyway,

    http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-twe...a-updates.html

    Install Ubuntu Tweak 0.5.7 in Ubuntu 10.10/10.04

    Open the terminal and run the following commands

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/ppa

    sudo apt-get update

    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak
