   Hints and Tips

   Run Google Earth by selecting Applications -> Internet -> Google Earth.

   Upgrading

   Upgrading to a new version is the same as in the [[[installation|Installation]]] section, except that you will not be asked where to install.

   Uninstallation

   Assuming you installed Google Earth according to the [[[installation|Installation]]] section above, Google Earth can be uninstalled by pasting the following command in a terminal: {i} This command is all on one line. Copy it and paste it in your terminal.

   sudo rm -rf /opt/google-earth && sudo rm /usr/share/mime/application/vnd.google-earth.* /usr/share/mimelnk/application/vnd.google-earth.* /usr/share/applnk/Google-googleearth.desktop /usr/share/mime/packages/googleearth-mimetypes.xml /usr/share/gnome/apps/Google-googleearth.desktop /usr/share/applications/Google-googleearth.desktop /usr/local/bin/googleearth
   

   You may also wish to remove your user preferences folder, although this is not necessary if you intend to reinstall later. This directory contains Google Earth settings and the cache:

   rm -rf ~/.googleearth
   

   Alternative Installation

   Google Earth is also available packaged in the Medibuntu repository, however it might not have the latest version available.

   Troubleshooting

   Google Earth for Linux is still in beta. As such, many problems that you may encounter can be attributed to this.

   Low performance with Google Earth 4.3

   Users have been reporting major performance regressions after upgrading from 4.2. This is due to new atmospheric rendering effects in GE 4.3. Disable these effects if you experience this behavior. Menu>View>Atmosphere. [Earth Help group query]

   Google Earth and Compiz

   As with all OpenGL apps, Google Earth has issues running with Compiz. To resolve this issue, either run Google Earth in a normal GNOME session, or see this thread: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=176636

   Google Earth and ATI

   Some people using the ATI fglrx driver have experienced a problem where Google Earth freezes at the splash screen and never starts up. See this post for a solution: http://n01getsout.com/blog/2006/11/26/google-earth-for-linux-freezing-with-ati/

   Google Earth and 3D acceleration

   Ensure that you video driver has 3D acceleration enabled. Display Hardware Drivers by selecting System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers Select the Enable checkbox next to your graphics card. This may require a system restart.

   Google Earth on Ubuntu x64

   If you get a "error 29", you may miss "lib32nss-mdns". Install this library like this: sudo aptitude install lib32nss-mdns You may also install other 32bit libraries. Note that google does not provide a 64 bit version of Google Earth. Thus installation on x64 system will take some extra efforts.

   Accidentally left the 'start automatically after install' checked

   If the installer was started with sudo, googleearth will be started as root, but still using the home folder of the normal user (who started sudo). Thus Google Earth will place its config files into the users home folders, but with root as the owner. The normal user cannot use gogoleearth, because the settings cannot be saved. He will only see space (no globe) and some settings are greyed out. Delete the (somewhat hidden) ./config/Google directory: rm -Rf .config/Google and maybe also rm -Rf .googleearth and it should work.
