Google earth AGAIN

[newtusmaximus]

Realise GE is not supported officially within the forum.

Fresh install LL3.6 64bit of HP desktop dc7700p.
Ralphy came to my rescue earlier (March 2017)  when using LL3.2 64bit on this machine.  (See Below quote)
Followed same Terminal procedures , but this time GE  map part appears to be miniaturised within the main GE window frame.

Help appreciated.

I have installed the 64 bit version just fine. Try this:

Terminal:

Code:

sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
wget -O google-earth.sh http://drive.noobslab.com/data/apps/google-earth/google-earth.sh
chmod +x google-earth.sh
sudo ./google-earth.sh

After installation I created a Launcher on the desktop as usual. You can always start it from terminal with google-earth

UPDATE:  Seems to prefer working within a Chrome Browser window??  There is a link within the GE window LH pane,  lower third which says something like  "The New Google Earth". Clicking this link fire3s up a splash screen  encouraging downloading Google Chrome.  Once GC is installed and the GE fire up process repeated, GE seems to fire up in C Google Chrome OK.

Question- does GE now only work if G Chrome is installed?

It kinda makes sense that Google products work better with Google applications... probably some dependency issues.
