Add Medibuntu to your repos.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
Then do in terminalCode:sudo apt-get install googleearth
Be Safe. Use Linux.
Double your drive space. Delete Windows.
I put int he code from ubuntu from that page and after that i put in the code you gave me for google earth. it said this
"E: Couldn't find package googleearth
"...
can you fix that?
TryCode:sudo apt-get updateCode:sudo apt-get upgradeCode:sudo apt-get install googleearth

trying to install google earth, but I can not seem to get the medibuntu repo right and also need mps codecs so amarok will play music. I have tried to follow the thread for medibuntu install but sources list won't open. Maybe I have forgotten the correct codes (been away for a year) Thanks
I take it that you are using Hardy.Code:sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.listCode:sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get updateCode:sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2Code:sudo apt-get install w32codecs

After all that I am getting this:
it http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-proposed/universe Sources
W: Failed to fetch http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/...86/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 87.98.249.30 80]

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Get the .bin installer from here:
http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html
Then open a terminal and navigate to the folder you saved the file and type:
to install it for a single user (it installs in your /home folder)Code:./GoogleEarthLinux.bin
To install it globaly (for all users):
Code:sudo ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin
the easiest way to install Google Earth and many other apps is using Ultamatix...download it here: http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownl...oad-39892.html'
i would actually recommend Ultamatix for people who likes graphical installers....
Automatix reborn, and really not all that necessary with mediubuntu repos enabled, easier and less hassle than depending on another application layer to handle installations for you.
