Installed Googleearth is not on menu
So I installed Googleearth with Software Manager in Linux Mint Debian. It does not show on the menu. Any ideas why? I am a linux novice.

Re: Installed Googleearth is not on menu
Google Earth is known for being problematic on Linux. First thing to try: Open Terminal and type:
If any dependencies failed to install this should install them.
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get -f install
Mint Cinnamon 20.1

Hi Mintdajim,
Give this a try. In your File Manager go to: /usr/share/applications
See if you can find Googleearth in there. If you can't find it by name then perhaps you can recognize the icon. Open the file with your text editor and look for a line: OnlyShowIn=????;
If ???? is, for example GNOME, and you are running MATE then it will not show in the menu. You could edit the file in place, as Root, and remove the line. Even better would be to copy the file to your Home folder to: ~/.local/share/applications and edit it there. That's a hidden folder so make sure you can see them in your File Manager.
Hope this helps.
