Confirmed. I have the same behavior or amd64 10.10 Maverick.

Hi together,

solution found. Look here:
http://www.linux-forum.de/wiki/index.php/Google_Earth_in_Ubuntu_installieren

The simple thing is, that an important lib is missing inside the package.
But if you follow this instruction, everything will run well again and as
fast as
you are used to.

So enjoy flying around the globe again with this instruction.

Could you please try latest 0.6.1 googleearth-package I backported for Ubuntu 10.04
https://launchpad.net/~absinthesyringe/+archive/googleearth-package

Hi Adnan,
could you please make a package for Maverick, so that I could test it?? I am running LinuxMint 10, which is based on ubuntu Maverick Meerkat.

Thank you in advance.

After your package for maverick is set up, I will test it for you and give review.

Hey, this backport works on Ubuntu 10.04 and up. It works just fine on on Maverick as well: http://foolcontrol.org/img/googleearth-package%200.6.1%20maverick.jpg

Try it out :)
