Hi,

I initially tried to install Google Earth an incorrect way, but have now managed to do so successfully through the repositories.

However, I don't know how to undo 2 of my previous steps from my initial installation attempt. They are:

1) sudo make-googleearth-package --force

2) sudo dpkg -i ./googleearth_5.1.3535.3218+0.5.7-1_i386.deb

Please help!

Thanks!! :)

Try running:

sudo dpkg -r googleearth
or

sudo dpkg --purge googleearth
You may need to reinstall the googleearth from the Ubuntu repos after doing this; but this should not be a problem.

Glad I could help.
Just out of curiosity, did you need to reinstall the googleearth from the Ubuntu repos after running the
dpkg command?
