Hey all- New to Ubuntu but loving it!! I screwed up on installing Google Earth. Seems it is installed on my desktop. It is not in the usr/local. I have a Google-googleearth.desktop on my desktop with an X and lock on it.

When I click on the Icon in the Applications/Internet it gives an error:


Google Earth could not write to the current cache or My Places file location. The values will be set as follows:
My Places Path: "/home/keith/.googleearth"
Cache Path: "/home/keith/.googleearth/Cache"

When you click ok- it opens briefly and then closes.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ok- un-installed the googleearth package via synaptic manager
Removed symlink from usr/local/bin
Removed app from usr/share/applications

Will that do it or did I screw it up. Just want it gone from the system.
