This is the software source for the official stable Google Earth version.
Software source description: Official Google Repo for Google earth stable
Add this source to install and Update Google Earth. Open the terminal and follow these steps:
1. Set the public key:
Wget-Q-o-https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add-
Add software source:
Sudo sh-C 'echo "Deb http://dl.google.com/linux/earth/deb/ stable main">/etc/APT/sources. List. d/Google. list'
Update apt-Get cache:
Sudo apt-Get update
Then you can search for and install Google Earth in the Software Center (of course, use the apt-Get install Google-Earth-stable command is OK)
Now Google Earth has been upgraded to 6.0, and the method used to solve the garbled Display Error in 5.0 is invalid,
The correct solution is as follows:
Google Earth 6 has the following problems in ezgo8 and Ubuntu:
1. If Google Earth 6 is successfully installed, you may not be able to parse the line, or the corresponding line does not respond at all. You must install the corresponding program.
2. Google Earth 6 cannot properly display Chinese characters and will change to a square character lattice. Because the program created in Google Earth 6 has a problem, it must be updated.
3. Even if you have solved the problem of Chinese representation, you may still be able to ignore Google Earth 6 on your own, or you may not be able to access Chinese.
The solution is as follows: Enter the terminal hosts window and run the following commands in sequence ~
1. Update the source of the response first.
Sudo apt-Get update
2. Install the following software packages
Sudo apt-Get install LSB-core libfreeimage3 libqt4-webkit
3. removed the 4 libqt *. * issue of Google Earth 6 Self-security questions!
Sudo RM/opt/Google/Earth/free/libqt *.*
4. Change the Google Earth 6 program's release line Library:
Sudo gedit/opt/Google/Earth/free/googleearth
The last line of the scripts should be as follows:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH =.: $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH./googleearth-bin "$ @"
Insert the following sentence in the first line:
Export ld_preload =/usr/lib/libfreeimage. so.3
Google Earth images are always on the fly. Google officially recommends disabling all desktop effects. In fact, you only need to run compiz config Manager (if not, install one) and disable the animation effects.
The problem of not displaying panoramio images (with only one small question mark) is also caused by the QT class library. Copy libqgif. So and libqjpeg. So in/usr/lib/qt4/plugins/imageformats to replace the original two files in the plugins/imageformats folder in the Google Earth installation directory. -- Note: This method does not work on my machine (Ubuntu 11.04), but it causes Google Earth to crash when you view panoramio photos.
If you are as tragic as I am, it is estimated that the best way is to reinstall googleearth, then, in the Lang folder under the installation directory/opt/Google/Earth/free/lang/delete or rename the zh-Hans.qm of the Chinese Language file to force the use of English Google Earth. To display Chinese landmarks, you need to change the 3D font to a font that supports Chinese characters (for example, wenquanyi bitmap song) in tool-option)
