    Wink Howto install google-earth 6 on Ubuntu 10.10

    /opt/google/earth/free

    http://www.google.com/earth/index.html

    Click on Download Google Earth 6


    Click on 32 Bit Debian /ubuntu and click on Agree and download.


    While it is downloading, install this dependency (won't be installed automagically):
    Code:
    apt-get install lsb-core
    If you have a 64-Bit system, you also need the following:
    Code:
    ia32-libs lib32asound2 lib32ncurses5 ia32-libs-sdl ia32-libs-gtk lib32stdc++6 linux32

    Once you installed the google-earth.deb package, you need to give the executable execute permission:
    Code:
    chmod +x /opt/google/earth/free/googleearth-bin

    Afterwards, it still won't work, because it misses the shared libaries, so you need to add them to ldconf.
    Code:
    gedit /etc/ld.so.conf.d/googleearth.conf
    And add the following content
    Code:
    # Google-Earth needs you
    /opt/google/earth/free
    Afterwards, still have to update the changed ldconfig:
    Code:
    /sbin/ldconfig
    alternatively you can do a
    Code:
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/google/earth/free"
    every time

    From now on you can start google-earth via:
    Code:
    /opt/google/earth/free/googleearth-bin
    or from
    Code:
    Applications->Internet->Google Earth

    Excellent!! I've tried and tried but didn't even get close, so for me this was a real lifeline.

    I'm on 64bit Ubuntu 10.10 and it worked perfectly once I worked out that *I* needed to install the 64 bit version. For guys like me who haven't yet fully woken up, I suggest changing

    "Click on 32 Bit Debian /ubuntu and click on Agree and download."

    to

    "Click on either 32 or 64 Bit Debian /ubuntu as appropriate and click on Agree and download."

    Oh yes, I did every command sudo. I guess if I'd entered "sudo su" at the terminal then the code you supplied could have been used exactly as is.

    Many, many thanks indeed for a magnificent effort.

    Uwe

    Here's an even easier way:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install googleearth-package
    make-googleearth-package --force
    sudo dpkg -i googleearth*.deb

    Re: Howto install google-earth 6 on Ubuntu 10.10

    Thanks for this info on installing Google Earth. I managed to install Google Earth 6.0.1.2032 beta onto my system running Ubuntu 10.10.

    Virtual Box -4.0_4.0.4-70112 is also installed and was working on Friday 4 March but was not working today.

    I need to restore my iPhone which I was going to do under VirtualBox/WindowsXP/iTunes -which worked quite well ......until now .
    Since I have recent iPhone backups and VirtualBox snapshots I removed Virtual Box completely in Synaptic and restarted and reinstalled VirtualBox 4 but this has not helped .
    I also removed it again and installed VirtualBox-3.2_3.2.12-68302 and this has also not helped .

    I am uncertain where to start troubleshooting this. If there is a way to use Ubuntu to restore an iPhone from a recent backup without VirtualBox/WindowsXP/iTunes, I would appreciate any advice .

    Thanks is advance
    Paul

    This seemed to install Google earth 32bit for me on Ubuntu 10.10 - nice to get back to playing with this app.

    Unfortunately it also seems to have borked my Skype Can anyone help me fix Skype or uninstall Google Earth and restore my system to as it was (I need Skype, I can live without GE)

    Thanks in advance.

    I find myself in company with afd here. After the GE6 install, which went fine, Skype continued to work until a reboot. Now it won't start. (My VBox 4.0.4 install is still healthy) Reinstalling skype hasn't helped. With all else remaining the same, I'm stumped. Is there something in the gaggle of files that came with lsb-core that skype doesn't like?

    skype(2.1.0.81-1ubuntu5) & google-earth-stable(6.0.1.2302-r0) on Ubuntu 10.10 - amd64

    Unlike afd, I need both skype and GE!
