Google earth and graphics

Hello
When I had windows xp on this pc google earth worked without problems.

I installed the oldest version I found for linux but it doesn't work well, it tells me that I should adjust the graphics, but I don't know how to do it.
(The latest version of google earth for Linux, does not work with a standard graphics card from the factory)

Someone who has solved this problem?

I feel like I'm a second away from doing it

Regards!

Can you please remind us of the machine spec you are running Zorin on please? Thanks.

All I could find related to your Integrated Intel GMA Graphics was this Linux Mint thread discussing the same issue:

Perhaps you might need to consider purchasing a separate Graphics card?

It looks like your motherboard could get one fitted - if you did I would opt for a Zotac 1030 2 Gb nVidia card.

matto, can you please copy the following and paste each command in a terminal?

Code:

dpkg --list 'google-earth*'

Find your package and uninstall it.

Code:

sudo dpkg -P google-earth-stable

Next, install from terminal

Code:

sudo apt-get install googleearth-package

Next, create a .deb package

Code:

make-googleearth-package --force

Now, install the .deb (replace the name as necessary as it was displayed in your terminal!)

Code:

sudo dpkg -i googleearth_6.0.3.2197+1.2.0-1_amd64.deb

If you have any dependency errors, you may try with "-y" or "sudo apt-get -f install". OR we can look up missing dependencies with pkgs,org.

Please let us know the results.

EDIT: sidenote: Have you ever looked into Marble Globe?

The problem with Marble Globe is all the post codes are totally totally wrong! And my work place that it refers to when I put in, gives the Residential Home for Blind Students that closed in 2001 - I joined the service in 2002 - Marble Globe needs to get its act together!

No work

Matto, can you be more specific? Did the install fail? Were there missing dependencies? Did the install finish but Google Earth was not working?

This is the package you need:
googleearth_6.0.3.2197+1.2.0-1_amd64.deb

You may try this one:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/m ... .2_all.deb
Install with opening a terminal in the containing folder (Like Downloads) -or open a terminal and

Code:

cd ~Downloads

Code:

sudo dpkg -i googleearth-package_1.2.2_all.deb

Is that the one you installed?
