Title: installing GoogleEarth issues
Post by: BarryVG on October 27, 2015, 10:02:53 AM

Have LLV2.6 running on a Dell notebook, did this for Google Earth install
opened Terminal, entered:
wget http://dl.google.com/earth/client/current/GoogleEarthLinux.bin && chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin && ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin
System went out and did the install, all worked fine.

Tried on another system, same steps, now system says it can't create folders and the /etc/gnome/defaults.list.new: permission denied.

what am I missing?

It would probably be easier to install from the .deb file.  It can be found here:

Yes, that worked well.  Only issue is the graphics card in the system I'm currently on, has an unsupported graphic card.  Not a problem for this particular unit, it's only a test system anyway.
Thanks so very much.
