    After installing and running googleearth-package I get this:

      Just installed the downloaded 64-bit .deb file from Google following these instructions:

      Installing the .deb file downloaded from the Google Earth Website

      Went perfectly. I just had to install lsb-core first, as I didn't have it. I already had ia32-libs and msttcorefonts installed.

        I installed ia32-libs and msttcorefonts (Thanks for the hint, whatthefunk!) and also lsb-core and gdebi. Then I downloaded the 64bit stable google earth deb file (You did use the 64bit version, didn't you Snowhog?).

        I started it up and canceled further displays of the tour guide. Then I proceeded to locate my home and other site. I used the search bar three or four times and it worked fine. "Great!", I thought, "They've got that bug fixed!". Then I did another search and GE crashed. I started it up again but it crashed immediately. I loaded ksysmonitor and looked for risidual bits but didn't see any that I recognized. So, I started it again and it ran. But, I didnt use the search function again. I re-entered a couple locations I wanted to save, saved them, and then closed GE normally.

        At least I can run it. I want to use it because I've noticed areas on the browser version that are pixeled out to obscure things and in the downloaded version they are not. Don't know why.

          64-bit downloaded .deb file, yes.

          I had it 'quit' (crash ?) on a second address search, but I relaunched it without problem.

            Just curious ....How come that Google pack a GNU/Linux application with M$ proprietary dependencies? Wouldn't fonts be soo easy to switch to a free/open version?

            Why not make the Win/OSX users be dependant on a free/open version rather then other way around. I never heard of a Win/OSX user taking a stand and choosing proprietary over free/open (except the fact that they do it unknowingly every day).

              Great question, Jonas, especially since Google depends SO MUCH on GPL and Linux!

              The behavior of the downloaded version is, for me, rocky at best. If I get a few more crashes I'm stripping it off and all the of apps that it needed to run.

                What's so special about Google Earth? If its world maps your after why not just install Marble?

                  I betcha they created the program basically for Windows, and as it looks like they they use Qt, it is easier to port to Linux. It is likely just lazy/efficient/cheaper to simply have the same deps as much as possible. Considering how small an install base Linux is compared to windows, this isn't too surprising, really.

                    Exactly, and they used qt3, which was replaced by Qt4 in 2004, and their "64bit" version is just a wrapped 32 bit version that requires a ton of ia32 utilities and proprietary ms fonts.

                    Marble does not supply the street level detail the Google Maps does. The problem with the web version of GE is that it doesn't go 3D when you get close to the surface. Even so, I'm debating if I should just yank it and clean up my installation and get rid of the ia32 junk.

                      Another crash happened while handling crash!
                      The crash with the crash handler is why the crash logs are always empty. I got those error msgs by running GE from a Konsole.

                      Checking with Google I find that this error and crash are common with both the 32 and 64 bit versions. People relate the problem to a variety of issues. Some say you need good 3D to run it, others mention a missing sym link, some claim an upgrade of Nvidia causes it, and the blame goes on and on.

                      I was going to install the 32 bit version but decided it wasn't worth wasting my time to do so.

                      Google Earth always runs fine the first time. So, when I want to run it I'll just delete the ~/.googleearth file first. Maybe write a little script:

                      #!/bin/bash
                      rm -rf ~/.googleearth
                      /opt/google/earth/free/googleearth

                      Basically, that GE isn't an ELF binary is utter nonsense and Google should be ashamed, if they really cared.

                        After I posted my last msg I watched serveral minecraft videos (paulsoaresjr -- great!) and my network-manager went back to its old behavior of dropping my eth0 connection every five minutes or so and not showing any indications that it didn't have a connection.

                        SO, this morning I just completed purging google-earth and every file it required that I load, which included a pot load of (i386) stuff. Now, I have to see if my wired connection returns to its former rock solid stability.

                            At least the crash handler's crash handler didn't crash! Otherwise you'd get the software equivalent of...
