This quick tutorial will show you how to easily install Google Earth in Ubuntu Maverick or Lucid. If you’re currently using Google Earth in Windows and want to do the same in Ubuntu, then this tutorial will show you how to install it. There are many ways to go about installing Google Earth, but this is how to like to do it.
Getting started:
To get started, go to Applications –> Ubuntu Software Center.
Then search and install the package below:
googleearth-package
![google_earth_upd_mav_1_thumb1_thumb1[1]](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/InstallGoogleEarthinUb.10MaverickMeerkat_E350/google_earth_upd_mav_1_thumb1_thumb11.png "google_earth_upd_mav_1_thumb1_thumb1[1]")
After installing, go to Applications –> Accessories –> Terminal. Then copy and paste the line and press Enter:
sudo make-googleearth-package --force
![google_earth_upd_mav_2_thumb1_thumb1[2]](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/InstallGoogleEarthinUb.10MaverickMeerkat_E350/google_earth_upd_mav_2_thumb1_thumb12.png "google_earth_upd_mav_2_thumb1_thumb1[2]")
After downloading all Google Earth Packages, go to Places –> Home Folder.
![google_earth_upd_mav_3_thumb1_thumb1[1]](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/InstallGoogleEarthinUb.10MaverickMeerkat_E350/google_earth_upd_mav_3_thumb1_thumb11.png "google_earth_upd_mav_3_thumb1_thumb1[1]")
There you’ll see Google Earth Deb package. Double click it to open Software Center.
In Software Center, click ‘Install’ to begin installing.
After installing, go to Applications –> Internet –> Google Earth.
Enjoy!
If Google Earth will not launch after installing, go to Applications –> Accessories –> Terminal and run the command below, then try again.
sudo apt-get install lsb-core

Thanks for reading and please come back soon.
this is shit,google earth does not even shows up in ubuntu software center
Thnx very much. The instructions was great. i was trying to install is before, i just remember that i’ve made a part of this process but the other part that i find here was missing. Now, mine is working very good. Thnx once again. Peace
this is shit,google earth does not even shows up in ubuntu software center
Follow the instruction!
It does’t apper in ubuntu software center for me too
Then go to System –> Administration –> Synaptic Package Manager to install it. I didn’t know some don’t have it in Software Center.
you must be nuts,it’s not even there period…….
You must be doing something different then, because it worked for me.
here try this:
go to System/Administration/Sypnatic Package Manager and search for googlee
now you will see googleearch-package,select it and Apply for installation and then
follow instructions here.That may work.Thank You Liberian Geek.
It doesn’t work! I get to create the .deb file, install it, then it starts up and crashes with the following:
(process:3984): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.26.0/gobject/gtype.c:2710: You forgot to call g_type_init()

Google Earth has caught signal 11.
… any ideas?
Drac Noc: This happened to me too trying to install Google Earth 5.2, however I had success with 5.1. I’m on 32 bit Ubuntu 10.10.
You can download 5.1 from Google Earth site: click download and when presented with agreement, click on “advanced setup” below it, choose Google Earth 5.1, and download it.
Then give these commands in terminal:
make-googleearth-package –file GoogleEarthLinux.bin
sudo dpkg -i googleearth_5.1.3535.3218+0.5.7-1_i386.deb
Notice that the package name used in the last command might be different in your case.
I got mostly depends warnings throughout the make. I don’t think I’ll touch the deb lol.
you need to sudo apt-get googleearth-package . Then continue with the rest
works for me
It is working..!
First two times it crashed.. So i closed the “start up tips” as soon as the window appeared and disabled them. now its working..
Thanks for the tip. I was able to get it working (after the initial instructions) and your tip.
Ubuntu really is tricky to use. I can see why adoption is slow. However, I’m willing to learn a few things to save myself the $$$ and give myself the satisfaction of keeping my money in my pocket.
same happens to me also so how to sole it….
Yes – thank you for this – start up tips was crashing the whole thing. Quickly hit on start up tips window then disable start up tips in the main window menu options>general.
wow thanks its working
wow… thanks a lot for this man ! it works ! i love you hahaha…
Great! It works!
Does it works with x86_64?
in ubuntu 64, need install the dependance package ia32-libs and lib32nss-mdns. :D
la procedura è semplice, funziona
grazie mille
thank you for posting this! works like a charm
followed the procedure. does not run. Opened a terminal :
googleearth
/usr/bin/googleearth: 14: /usr/lib/googleearth/googleearth-bin: not found
l /usr/lib/googleearth/googleearth-bin
/usr/lib/googleearth/googleearth-bin*
Any idea ??
Marco, to get rid of the “/usr/lib/googleearth/googleearth-bin: not found” message, use synaptic or apt to install lsb-core.
See http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/earth/thread?tid=144696eab7d5a9c7&hl=en for more info.
BTW, this has been fixed in Debian, and in Natty (the upcoming 11.04) and should be released as a fix for Maverick. If users have experienced it on Lucid, they should go there and report it so we can also backport the fix to lucid.

Hello and Greetings.
I am so gald you have this written down, espcialy this line “sudo apt-get install lsb-core” witch I was lost without. I have tried for a few days to get Googleearth up and running, I had it before, but I am all new to Linux. I was on the web to find a solution, but with no luck until I saw the last line here.
So thank you and Happy New year to you.
Sincerely Jan from Denmark
hey gracias, no soy bueno escribiendo en inglés, pero tu ayuda funcionó bastante, soy nuevo en ubuntu y cada día aprendo cosas nuevas. muchas gracias de nuevo
Still nothing for me, very frustrated

Google Earth has caught signal 11.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but Google Earth has crashed.
This is a bug in the program, and should never happen under normal
circumstances. A bug report and debugging data have been written
to this text file:

seem like your video card not work properly or doesn’t support OpenGL or simply you haven’t installed hardware accelerated graphic driver on your system.
Thanks finally got Google earth to load, the splash screen comes up and then the Google earth program open, but NO earth, all buttons grayed out, and most menu item grayed out. And it will only run once, that is if i close it, it will not run again without a reboot. When i re-boot i get the message that “usr/lib/googleearth-bin is not responding.
My video card is a ATI/AMD Radeon HD 4300/4500 series and i am using the FGLRX proprietary driver that is needed for 3D. Also my monitor is a TV that accepts a VGA signal from a computer running at 1280 x 768. Whether that has something to do with the problem, or i am doing something wrong.
finally I got googleearth on my Ubuntu, Greetings from Argentina.
Thank you.
gracias. :)
gracias… :)
Tanks, Works great.
Pablo
when i try to install google earth from ubuntu software center it says “requires installation of untrusted packages: the action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources”
wat shall i do….?
it’s working now… thanks…
A.o.A
I download the GE from google earth site. Than install “google earth-package” from software center, and than run the command sudo “apt-get install lsb-core”.
Now works great.
Thanks,a lot of THANKS.
Mr. Khan
thank you very much unique tutorial!! thanks again!!
simple and best solution, thank you very much
Works like a charm. Thanks!
Un grand merci, t’es genial :-)
Thanks. It worked properly.
YYYYYEEEEEESSSSS, that’s it : the lsb-core library and all related packages makes Google Earth running on my 6-years old laptop with Ubuntu 10.10.
Maybe 3 hours I tried to make it run : Yyyyypppeeeee !!!
Many, many thanks.
What a pleasure !
The part of sudo apt-get install lsb-core solved my issue, thanks alot. :)
OUTSTANDING!!!!
I tried three other times from Google itself and couldn’t get it to either install or un-install. After each attempt I would reload the Ubuntu, try again & finally gave up. Your method works great although it’s a bit scary when the pages of errors show up while in the terminal mode when it’s building the installation package. But the end result is what counts and this method is a winner. A ton of thanks!!!
Very good installation Guide.
It runs and has answers for ways not directly to the goal.
Thanks a lot
Thankx!!!! It is working
Thanks! Worked like a charm.
Hi it doesn’t launch in my case. I installed the lsb-core as you suggested. What to do?
Thanks….after put the last command i get use it perfectly!!!
Thanks!! after instlling the lsb-core it worked like a charm!

Description: Google Earth, a 3D map/planet viewer
Package built with googleearth-package.
dpkg-deb: building package `googleearth’ in `./googleearth_6.0.0.1735+0.5.7-1_i386.deb’.
Success!
That’s what happens to me.
Then I go to the home folder and click on the .deb file, the ubuntu software manager appears, I can install then with no error.
Then I go to Applications – Internet and walaaa there is google earth… when I click it, nothing happens.
Do the above “Can’t extract name and version from library” messages have to do with it?
but u dont read all…
and u dont do all,,
now do last thing mentioned by author, if not start now,then do—->
sudo apt-get install lsb-core
all ok, but u dont read till end,
and u dont follow till end
author state on end if now not start then do this
sudo apt-get install lsb-core
belive me,it will work
after running the last command in Terminal it works great. Thanks!!1
Thanks for the info in particular the last part regarding lsb-core which cured the problem of not opening.
I’m using ubuntu 10.10 you must install lsb-core!!
sudo apt-get install lsb-core
go to http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/agree.html
and download GoogleEart for your OS and install that’s all
It worked as instructed. First it did not run then installed lsb-core and then it ran.
Just follow the instructions and everything will be fine.
version 6.0.1.2032, built date 12/10/2010, installed March 2, 2011. Ubuntu 10.10 on AMD64 PhenomX4
Thank you for the instructions at the end. I was able to get Google Earth running easily thanks to you!
hola grax por tu ayuda tenia tiempo con el googleearth instalado pero no lo pida ejecutar gracias a ti ahoea pude sale sigue asi y nuevamente muchas gracias
Great thanks!
It work in x64 too.
the sudo apt-get install lsb-core was what I was missing. Thanks, dude!
A giant THANK YOU. You have made me very happy I thought I would never have G-Earth again but it’s up and running great. Again THANK YOU.
Thank you very much for this tutorial.
I had tried to install this before, and it never worked. I followed your tips exactly, and finally, after doing the last bit at the bottom, it worked like a charm. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Thanks, it works.
It did not work for me.. when I ran Google-earth fr om the Terminal Window this is the error that I got..~
Google Earth has caught signal 11.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but Google Earth has crashed.
This is a bug in the program, and should never happen under normal
circumstances. A bug report and debugging data have been written
to this text file:
/home/milli/.googleearth/crashlogs/crashlog-4da94d33.txt
Please include this file if you submit a bug report to Google.
I have tried reinsatlling, but it does not work.!
Worked here, thanks.
Thanks a lot. After tinkering around for 3 hours with the buggy original download file from google, I gave up and tried this attempt. Although I get some warnings and errors while the building process, Google Earth seems to run perfectly.
the last line of your tutorial solved my problem, thank you very much
It worked! Once I realized I were supposed to search for “googleearth” instead of “google earth” in the application center I only had to follow your very simple tutorial, thank you so much!
Plus, I got to lose my sudo virginity :D
thank you! it works very well. you’re the best man!
Thanks. Instructions very usefull. my Google Earth works!!
works like a charm!!!!
thanks, work great
