Yes, I used gdebi to install. Just saying that LL Synaptics has a googleearth-package but it's broken as when it's executed the wget points to an invalid url.
But the new problem is that when I zoom in the textures don't load or load very slowly and then it crashes.
Also, sometimes it asks for my keyring password; not sure what that is all about.
I tried safe graphics mode and upping cache memory but still it crashes. Using the NVIDIA proprietary driver for my GTX680.
Any ideas as to why it keeps crashing?
