Google Earth install issue

[bigskill]

Hi;
I installed google earth using the x32 instructions in the following.

This article may help you it works on LL 2.4 32 bit, but according to your profile you may have issues with graphics and memory for running the program. Older systems with only 256mb memory probably won't have the 3d rendering capability needed.

It did not give any errors, but I can not find it in menu or search to see if it works
How do I fix this?
I am using LL 3.0 x32

TIA

I have to ask as someone ignorant to installing Google Earth on Linux Lite, is there something wrong with installing Google Earth from here?  If I wanted to install it, and it wasn't in the repository, that's where I would start.

You probably have more Linux experience than myself.
I tried that, it downloaded a .deb file, but I could not get it to open, corrupt file or file not found.

If you are on Lite 3.0 you will have the problem explained in this link, (that The big problem is Ubuntu 16.04 is missing all the “lsb-*” packages which Google Earth depends on)
which also gives a fix:

OK I tried  that but I am using x32 so I get error
package architecture (amd64) does not match system (i386)

Also I think I need a different ver of Earth.

I dnld i385 ver , opened the folder in terminal
used
sudo dpkg -i google-earth-stable_current_i386.deb
Igot this with errors

@Torreydale - the link is off just a touch (comes up to the reply)..

Not sure but this maybe??... https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/tutor.../#msg24115

@Bigskill - I highlighted the errors to see if it can help where it may be missed:

OK I tried  that but I am using x32 so I get error
package architecture (amd64) does not match system (i386)

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of google-earth-stable:
google-earth-stable depends on lsb-core (>= 3.2); however:
  Package lsb-core is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package google-earth-stable (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

package architecture (amd64) does not match system (i386)
The package is 64bit whereas the system is 32bit - See if there is a 32bit (i386) package
Package lsb-core is not installed
Missing a dependency - This appears to be a common problem with Ubuntu 16.04, see above link to install...
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Confirms the line/error above this - aka missing a file will not install...

Hope this helps point in the right direction...

Might trying an older version of 'Google Earth' work?  E.g. google-earth-6-2-1-6014-beta-es-en-ubu.deb ?
Just a shot in the dark, though this did resolve a 'patchy-pixel' problem I had with the Google Earth images when I
installed the latest version of this package in LL2.8.

Bad copy and paste.  I meant to include this link.  It addresses 32bit.

The answer is probably here, but being a linux newb I could not figure the instructions out.
I thought I would try installing the missing packages with synaptic manager, but some were not available ie; lsb-security

using terminal does not seem to do anything
al@al-3000-N100:~/Downloads$ # sudo apt-get update
al@al-3000-N100:~/Downloads$ # sudo apt-get install lsb-invalid-mta
al@al-3000-N100:~/Downloads$

I have the 4 .deb packages dnld to download folder.
They want to open with gdeb package  manager, will that work or should I do something els
