I've got the same problems on my system. After installing with Google's own installer, it displays the warning, that it can't write to the cache and the settings directory:
"Google Earth konnte nicht in den aktuellen Speicherort der Datei im Cache oder in "Meine Orte" schreiben. Die Werte werden wie folgt festgelegt: "Meine Orte"-Pfad: "/home/user/.googleearth" Cache-Pfad: "/home/user/.googleearth/Cache"" No changes in the settings or in My Places are saved, they're gone on next program startup. When I start Google Earth as root, the dir /root/.googleearth/ is created and the settings are saved correctly there. The dir ~/.googleearth exits, belongs to my standard user and is writable. Additionally: After I tried the medibuntu package (previous deinstallation of the Google version), no Image (earth, stars, whatever) is displayed in the Google Earth window. -- googleearth doesn't load map images https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/408938 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Medibuntu Packaging Team, which is a direct subscriber. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~medibuntu-maintainers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~medibuntu-maintainers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
