Install and solve Google Earth in Ubuntu)

UBUNTU Forum address: http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php? F = 122 & t = 189624

Recently, Google Earth has been installed, and a lot of problems have occurred. I have seen many brothers in the forum. I am talking about it, but the answers are scattered, or the simple questions are complicated!
My idea is: Try not to change the system or share things! If a single software has a problem, it can be modified only within a small scope (itself!
Okay, let's not bother!

1. Google Earth installation in Ubuntu
　
Many of my friends said that there is googleearth In the Ubuntu source, and there is indeed a googleearth-package in the source, but this is just a make-googleearth-package program installed. Therefore, Google Earth is not found in the system menu and there is no command to run Google Earth!
Make-googleearth-package is located in/usr/bin. After running this command, you can find that this command is also downloaded from the internet! Then we should download one directly from http://earth.google.com.
English webpage? In change language: in the upper right corner, there is no simplified Chinese!
The downloaded googleearthlinux. Bin does not have the executable permission. We need
Chmod + x googleearthlinux. Bin
Add the executable permission to it, and then:
./Googleearthlinux. Bin
All the way down to "Next! Installed in the Google-earth folder in your home folder by default! "Google Earth" will also appear in "Internet" of "application!

Appendix: Put the configuration file of Google-Earth in. config/Google/in the home folder (we don't need to use this file here, just mention it)

Ii. startup Problems
After the above steps, we have installed Google Earth, but it's a flash!
There are two possibilities:
First, the libraries required by Google Earth are not fully installed (they are. binfiles, and I am not prompted to ask for those libraries. You cannot blame me ).
Second, the Lib file error message is displayed (run on the terminal!
It is running and garbled Chinese characters. (If the Chinese font of your system is correctly installed, we recommend that you install wenquanyi)
These problems are actually because Google Earth comes with a set of libraries, which are exactly the same! Solution:
1. Install the library required by Google Earth:
Sudo apt-Get install libqt4-webkit libqt4-gui libqt4-network
Libqt4-core
2. Delete the libraries that come with Google Earth (in order to prevent future problems, we do not need to delete RM, but use to remove these libraries from their original locations so that Google Earth cannot be found, it is equivalent to deleting)
All these files are in the Google-earth folder under home, and run:
Cd ~ /Google-earth
Mkdir old
MV libcrypto. so.0.9.8 old (this solves the problem of "window flashing and no window is available. If you run it from the terminal, you can see the prompt" error message related to lib file)
MV libqt *. so.4 old (can solve "Chinese garbled characters ")

Now, you can run Google Earth again, and the Chinese version is correct!

Note: If the Chinese text displayed on the map is incorrect, you can adjust the font in "option" in the Google Earth menu!

Iii. Running Problems
After running Google Earth, you may feel slow. If you enable the 3D desktop effect, a screen may appear! This can also be solved:
1. Slow speed
Slow speed, as long as the "atmosphere" in "View" in the menu is removed, the speed can be much faster!

2. Use the 3D desktop Effect
If you use a 3D desktop, the problem of screen float or screen flash will occur, which cannot be solved!
Here is a solution to cure the problem. Of course, the solution should be handed over to Google!
Create a script Runge. Sh in the Google-earth folder of home. The content is as follows:

#! /Bin/bash
# Runge. Sh
Metacity -- replace &
/Home/your directory/Google-earth/googleearth % F
Compiz -- replace &

Grant operation permission:
Chmod + x Runge. Sh

Right-click "Applications" in the System menu, click "edit menu", and select "google" in "Internet"
Earth ", click" properties ", and replace the last googleearth % F in the command with Runge. Sh.
The role is to direct the Google Earth running command in the application to this script!

This script is used to close the 3D effect when running Google Earth. After Google Earth is finished, the 3D effect is displayed!

OK. Now, several major problems of Google Earth have been solved!
