Title: [SOLVED] Google Earth Removal
Post by: Alex on January 25, 2015, 06:59:17 AM

I installed Google earth and tried to run it but it must have changed from when I was running it a few years ago on Win XP as I received a notice that my graphics card was not sufficiently accelerated and that the program would not work.

Since it's useless to have it there...how do I get rid of it completely from my system?

Thanks

alex

I would get into Synaptic & purge it from there .

What instructions did you use to install it?

I followed Google earth instructions for Ubuntu and since I did not go to the synaptic to get it, I wasn't sure it would remove it. But I am doing it that way now see what happens. thanks for your help altman and jerry

No problem mate , tried it a little while ago & saw it was different & didn t like it much .

I just use the web map search from either google , yahoo or Open Street Map .
