google earth 5 is it working?

[andrea000]

Just wondering if google earth 5 is working or if there is
to run it right in ubuntu yet the last time i installed it
google earth did not work it opened and closed right away.
Everybody says it is a bug in the GE5's software.

[binbash]

I do not know the current state of that bug BUT, it was very easy to fix :
