Re: Install Google Earth
Wow, thanks.
 I've been trying to get it working, new to Linux, was trying for ages with Wine, running the Windows version with no luck, this is much easier to install!! Although it's a little slow, maybe that's my drivers... |

Re: Install Google Earth
To uninstall Google Earth go to your home directory or wherever you installed Google Earth at. There should be a folder there called google-earth. Click on that folder and in it you should find a uninstall script.

Re: Install Google Earth
Think I've got my drivers sorted out - it now runs smoothly (I said it ran slow in my post earlier)... but it crashes randomly, with no warnings. Any idea what the problem there is? Not a big deal, no problem to restart, just wondering what could cause it...
