Well, Google didn't forget the Linux community this time. Google broke the old tradition of releasing software for Windows first, when a Linux version of Google Earth 4.3 (beta) was released together with the Windows and Mac versions. And as Amit puts it together, Google Earth 4.3 is a complete 'Wow!'
This downloads the Google Earth installer and starts the graphical installer. At those on a slow connection, the installer is about 19 MB in size.
Watch this eye popping video of new features in this release of Google earth and head over to gearthblog.com for a complete overview of the new features.
I love Google Earth but it does not work in Ubuntu. I have installed, uninstalled various versions including this but every time I try and open Google Earth it crashes the computer. This happens on two completely separate computers. I have looked in other blogs and this seems to be a very common problem. Lucky for me that it works fine on my Windows computer but it would be nice if Google were to sort this out and release a stable version as none of the Linux versions seem to work.

A funny thing happened on the way to installing Google Earth using Terminal in Ubuntu 8.04. Within the terminal window, a EULA showed up in color with an OK on the bottom that I could find no way of clicking using any key combination or magical number of Enters. I've had this experience with EULA agreements while trying to install other programs within terminal windows. What's the newbie way to get past these?
I have installed it using your method." wget http://dl.google.com/earth/client/current/GoogleEarthLinux.bin && chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin && ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin " and its not stable under my dell inspiron700m so i want to remove it from my system but then I cantr do it by Ubuntu 8 menu under application-install-uninstall or under system-admin-synaptic-package-manager coz the application is not read there, and the application is installed under my home folder and looked unmanage... can u please help me how to remove the application and clean my home from google earth. plase email me for reply oralalikaroaku@gmai.com
FINALLY!!! I tried for about an hour to unsuccessfully install my favorite program, and it took THIS page to get it to install... really, *THIS* is the one thing that is going to prevent Ubuntu from overtaking Vista and Windows because people like me, who DO know PC's, can't figure the commands out - let alone the end user!!
Anyway, EXCELLENT looking program, runs like a dream on my ubuntu system now, I'm surprised that I didn't have to install any other foreign language packs for my browsing around Japan,.. it read (and I did too) the Japanese kana just fine!
hi.........Ive installed google earth as explained above, but and its seem to be working.Its flashes as I try starting it and closes again. why does that happen?

Brilliant! Thanks so much. There are so many complex instructions for this. You cut the gordian knot!
IT WORKS YEA! Same same as above with other sites

It installs, but crashes immediately after the icon is on the desktop or "googleearth" is typed into the terminal mode.
I hate Windows OS systems, but this does not work with Unbuntu 10.04 version.
