What is proplem with GoogleEarth and Ubuntu and Mint?

[leegold]

Hi,

I've been having trouble with GoogleEarth on all flavors of Ubuntu including Mint Xfce 1.0. The app starts for about 5 seconds then stops. I have tried the usual rememedies but would like to try again if anyone can help. It is quite frustrating and causes me to use windows when i need this app and limits the Geographic Info Systems applications of Ubuntu - quite frustrating...

Here's output of terminal trying to start it for the 1st& 2nd time:

Is it a bug in GE?

i see the thread but I do not know how do it or try it.

If you tell me how to get the "bin" file then I'll put the "bin" file in my home folder and try it.

BUT I will need a way to completely reverse and clean out the whole thing if it does not work. Even if it does work there might be some "house-cleaning" to do.
