   Yes you did it! You have Google Earth running on your system using wine! Can you give a short ‘HOWTO’ for ‘not so experienced’ linux users? I would be very glad to be able to use Google Earth, too, but I will not install any M$OS…

   Bugger - I cant get this thing running on my linux 64 bit system. I tried wine and crossover - but nothing works

   Which version ( date/size ) of GoogleEarth are you using? I’m unable to complete instalation under Ubuntu 5.10 - error message is “could not get IPSFactory buffer for interface”

   Hi there. I installed using the instructions from http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_GoogleEarth_with_wine
   but just one thing isn’t working: I cannot see the text of the coordinates on the “earth” window. I tried installing the corefonts package, copied them to .wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/, restarted xfs server but had no luck. Any hint would be greatelly appreciated.

   hi all
   Mr. Macewan claims that he has it running on a linux box? - so why is not given details of how its done?

   hey zch,

   I just installed Breezy from the shipped CD - after updating the packages I’ll install Google Earth on Ubuntu Breezy with complete instructions of my actions.

   cheers,

   I think he just manipulated the screenshot! If I would thank you if you would help me to install google earth on SUSE 10.0 with KDE!

   PS: I think cedega should be published under a free lizense, that everyone may play and use google earth under linux.

   Google- best websearch
   Google earth- good programm that doesn´t work under linux.

   have you seen those videos of opensuse?? unreal!

   uto, no?

   as for the screenshot being manipulated, I’m more insulted that you would think I do such a sloppy job faking the shot It’s a real shot.

    Picasa sous Linux

    Le logiciel de gestion de photos de Google Picasa est enfin disponible pour Linux, et l’est m�me nativement pour Debian/Ubuntu[1]… magnifique, non ?

    Pour information, Google n’a pas r�ellement port� Picasa mais a utilis� Wine…

    Works well in breezy, only problem with the fonts but it seems that nobody could fix that.

    Google now has a Linux version of Google Earth.
