    Google Earth Kubuntu 13.10

    I have seen many various people giving various advice on how to install Google Earth such as:

    http://askubuntu.com/questions/36643...pendency-error


    What is the correct way to install the latest Google Earth? I am confused... sigh

    Just install the 32 Bit deb. If you encounter "asserted_dlsym: Assertion `result' failed" errors do the following :

    "apt-get install libudev1:i386"

      I installed the 32 bit deb file from their site and it would not launch.

      I then installed the libudev1:i386 still no luck.

      I then tried launching it from a konsole and it gave this error

      ./googleearth-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

        I just downloaded the 64-bit .deb file and from within the directory where I downloaded it, in a console, ran:
        Code:
        sudo dpkg -i google-earth-stable_current_amd64.deb
        Works fine. Launches from K Menu.
        Windows no longer obstructs my view.
        Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

          You are still missing some 32 Bit Libraries. In this case its :

          libglu1-mesa:i386 - Mesa OpenGL utility library (GLU)

          Give it a "apt-get install libglu1-mesa:i386"

              It works fine if I do not want to look at Panoramio Photos. On my system when I click on an image symbol, I just get a white box with no image.

              Are you able to see these images?
