Hi Mike,
Early this year(Feb/March) when I started with Linux, I wanted to try Google Earth just for fun.
I encountered various dependency issues etc
I eventually found and followed the instructions below, and it worked.
I have not tried it since, I do not know if this impacts anything else on LL
Maybe you can test on another PC.?
