Install Google Earth On Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex

Installing Google Earth for Adding Repository necessary, follow the steps below: Set up the Medibuntu Repository

As mentioned above, the first thing you need to configure is adding the Medibuntu repository. Setting up this third-party repository can be done with a few quick commands:




$ http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list sudo wget-O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

$ sudo aptitude update & & sudo aptitude install medibuntu-keyring & & 
$ sudo aptitude update

This will add the Medibuntu repository, import the Medibuntu GPG key and make new packages available.

Installing Google Earth

To install Google Earth, then simply use:

$ sudo aptitude install googleearth-4,2

You should now have Google Earth added to the "Applications> Internet" menu and, assuming your video card supports the requirements, you are almost ready to travel the planet! Depending on the video card you may want to disable the atmospheric rendering, which can greatly increase performance. This can not be done by setting the following:

View> Atmosphere

If, for some reason, Google Earth does not load properly or crashes on your computer may try to return to the old version that seemed to have a little problem. To do that and try to remove 4.3 version 4.2:

$ sudo aptitude googleearth-4, 3 & & sudo aptitude install googleearth-4, 2

Happy Testing.
