Google Earth should now be in your launcher, and should start right up without incident. Here’s how you can easily install Google Earth on Ubuntu. There’s a native Linux port of the latest version, Google Earth 5. Finally, use dpkg with the -i flag to install your new. UPDATE: See How to Install Google Earth in Ubuntu 10.04 for up-to-date instructions Google Earth puts the world’s geographic information at your fingertips.deb package by entering the command dpkg -b. Open a terminal and use the cd command to navigate to the directory where your extracted folder from step 5 resides (e.g.Delete the line Depends: lsb-core (>=3.2), ia-32-libs.Right click the “Control” file and select “Open With gedit” (or use your preferred text editor).Now enter the following: sudo apt-get install libc6:1386 lsb-core.Open a terminal window (Ctrl-Alt-T) and enter sudo apt-get install -fix-broken deb package for the 64-bit version of Google Earth with its awareness of this dependency removed. The reason for this behavior is a dependency upon ia32-libs, which seems to be deprecated in 13.10. Clicking the icon results in nothing, though, and running google-earth from the terminal results in an error like “./googleearth-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1”. Go to the Google Chrome download page and select your package or you can use the following wget command to download and install the latest version. The 64-bit version refuses to even attempt an install, while the 32-bit will make it in with a little effort. deb variants available for download, but they seemingly inexplicably don’t work once installed, assuming they install at all. Google has packages for Google Earth in 32- and 64-bit.
