The way I read the link, for 32bit, you download and run the following:
https://pkgs.org/ubuntu-15.10/ubuntu-main-i386/lsb-invalid-mta_4.1+Debian11ubuntu8_all.deb.html
https://pkgs.org/ubuntu-15.10/ubuntu-main-i386/lsb-security_4.1+Debian11ubuntu8_i386.deb.html
https://pkgs.org/ubuntu-15.10/ubuntu-main-i386/lsb-core_4.1+Debian11ubuntu8_i386.deb.html
https://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/agree.html

Run, in order, each of the downloaded *.deb files.  Gdebi will open and help you with the install.

If you haven't already, visit the Video Drivers section of the Help Manual and/or do a web search on your graphics controller and the phrase "Ubuntu 16.04."
