I use synaptic all the time, but always with packages which are in the

using "dpkg -i"; but does that take care of dependencies?

I plan to run GE on a i386 laptop, so the package which I downloaded is
the 32-bit:

google-earth-stable_current_i386.deb

Thanks.

I thought that you said that you had installed some sort of a Gnome
Google-Earth package and that this obviated the need for
googleearth-package.  My mistake.

You are clearly welcome to use Gnome.   You run a Gnome compatible desktop.  
But not everyone does.  And Google doesn't mention Gnome, in spite of your 
insistance that it does.

Anyhow, John: we have established that although Russ used gdebi GNOME GUI, 
versions of gdebi exist for the rest of us.  There are gdebi-core (CLI) and 
gdebi KDE GUI.  And Gnome doesn't come into Google Earth (though Gnome may do 
a package for it, of course).

All I know is that when I installed Jessie, I specified only the Xcfe
desktop, and I did not specify Gnome.  (Months ago I tried to install both
Gnome and Xfce on a system, and something went awry.)

The installer may have installed some Gnome packages, but that does not
bother me, so long as I have the Xfce desktop.

And thinking of it now, I did subsequently install gnome-disk-utility,
which I use almost daily.

If a Gnome package -- such as gdebi or gnome-disk-utility runs properly
apart from the Gnome desktop, should I be concerned?

The Google web site detected that you are running an amd64 system, so it
automatically offered you the amd64 version of Google Earth.

I happended to visit the site while running an i386 system, so the site
offered me the i386 version.

But with a bit of searching through the site, you can download the amd64
version or the i386 version -- or both, if you wish.  And I think that you
can do so even if you are running W$ at the time.

As best as I can put together the pieces, some time ago Google created a
Debian package of Google Earth (gnome-earth-stable_current_i386.deb); the
package is available for download from http://www.google.com/earth/.  But
until recently, Debian users have experienced difficulty installing the
package and some have found the program problematic, once installed.

So, someone in the realm of Debian put together a package called
"googleearth-package", the function of which is to (1) download from the
Google web site the latest stable revision of Google Earth, (2) from it
build a new Debian package, and (3) install the new Debian package.  That
appears to have been a good solution.

However, pretty much coincident with the advent of Jessie, the
"gnome-earth-stable_current_i386.deb" package provided by Google appears
to install and run properly, at least when installed with the command
"gdebi gnome-earth-stable_current_i386.deb".

So, at the present time, it appears that the need for
"googleearth-package" has passed -- at least with respect to Jessie (and
in my case, with the combination of Xfce on an i386 system).  Direct
installation with gdebi is simpler and faster.

P.S. I am posting this to the list simply because the knowledge would have
saved me a number of hours of search and trial and error.

There are three relevant packages here:

$ apt-cache search gdebi | grep gdebi
gdebi - simple tool to view and install deb files - GNOME GUI
gdebi-core - simple tool to install deb files
gdebi-kde - simple tool to install deb files - KDE GUI

The CLI to gdebi is in the gdebi-core package. There are two GUIs
available, which are in separate packages, which are labeled
appropriately.


It would probably be more appropriate if the three packages were named
'gdebi-gnome', 'gdebi-cli', and 'gdebi-kde', respectively, with the
unadorned 'gdebi' being either a metapackage or a virtual package. (And
possibly with a separate 'gdebi-core' or 'gdebi-common' package for the
shared elements, which are currently in the same package as the CLI.)

The maintainer has not chosen to do it that way, however, and the
current approach does make some amount of sense.

Thanks, Erwan for the explanation.  So I haven't quite gone mad, and aptitude 
search explains all.  gdebi GNOME GUI is indeed a Gnome GUI tool.  But the 
gdebi command is, according to aptitude search, in gdebi-core, which I have 
installed.  I have not installed either of the GUI packages.  I'll see 
whether it works next time I have a .deb to install.

Nothing.  I stand corrected.  But almost all references to it, including 
aptitude show and its name, refer to its graphical user interface.

> Simple tool to install deb files - **GNOME GUI**

> ~/Downloads # gdebi gnome-earth-stable_current_i386.deb

I also thought that the package you were trying to install was 
called "googleearth".  It says so in the subject line.  Ah!  A search 
suggests that you did actually mean googleearth not gnome-earth.

"gdebi is a simple tool to install deb files. It lets you install local deb 
packages resolving and installing. its dependencies. apt does the same, but 
only for remote (http, ftp) located package repositories. It has a graphical 
user interface but can also be used in your terminal."

I had not gathered the last few words.  It is obviously a very useful tool.  
But it raises another question.  Why is it called "GNOME GUI", which it does 
seem to be consistently, if it is neither a Gnome tool nor a GUI one??

I've only just gravitated to apt-get -f install.  I obviously need to 
gravitate to gdebi.

the gdebi package contains the gnome version, the cli is in gdebi-core.
There is also a kde version in gdebi-kde

Maybe a wishlist bug for renaming the packages, since it is strange the
gdebi command is not in the gdebi package.

Yes. 

So are you saying that only solutions applicable to GNOME, and nothing else, 
are allowed on this list now?  Do we actually know that the OP uses Gnome?  
That all future readers of the archives will use Gnome?

And are you saying that only those prepared to offer GUI solutions are allowed 
to answer questions specifically about CLI problems, in this case, in this 
post, specifically dpkg -i?

 gdebi lets you install local deb packages resolving and installing

No.  But try:

# dpkg -i foo.deb

Which will probably complain about dependencies, then:

# apt-get -f install
Which will sort out the dependencies and finish installing foo.deb.

I just tried it for the first time, and it worked a treat.

Otherwise, list the missing dependencies and install them manually!  (Or with

Heracles,

Would you be so kind as to outline the procedure for using synaptic to
install the .deb package which I downloaded from the Google Earth web
site?

I use synaptic all the time, but always with packages which are in the
Debian repositories.  I searched and saw that some people are installing
using "dpkg -i"; but does that take care of dependencies?

I plan to run GE on a i386 laptop, so the package which I downloaded is

   google-earth-stable_current_i386.deb

You were taught well, Grasshopper:

http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/quickref/#meaning-located-sufficient-head

That's the/an appropriate abbreviations section of the Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) recommendations as presented by the
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). As evidenced by the above
[hyperlink], the W3C's WCAG recommendations may be found elsewhere out
on the World Wide Web (WWW, W3).

Or something like that there..

Actually an appropriate topic for Debian with respect to those who
author the/our site's webpages. :)

I was taught (a while back, I'll admit) that the way to use an acronym is to 
spell it out with the acronym's letters in upper case, and with the acronym in 
parentheses right behind it, the first time it's used, then use whichever you 
like after that. 

There are those of us who don't know acronyms as well as others.

I was commenting, possibly too subtly, on this list's habit of using

Or -- if you have the 'apt-file' package installed:

  tomas@rasputin:~$ sudo apt-file update # do this from time to time
  [some output elided]
  tomas@rasputin:~$ apt-file search libcurl.so.4
  libcurl3: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4
  libcurl3: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4.2.0
  libcurl3: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4.3.0
  libcurl3: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4.4.0

Thus, libcurl3 is providing the library (this works even when the package
in question isn't installed).

To see where googleearth is looking for its libs, try

  ldd /usr/lib/googleearthbin

I presume that you mean the Debian package "googleearth-package".

With more searching I found a tutorial which utilizes the package and
reveals that the binary is named "make-googleearth-package" with a man
page:

I understood Google Earth was going the way of the dodo, so `dpkg -r`
might be the best thing to do with it.

Did you install using googleearth-package or the bin from google?
Also try starting it from a console to get,maybe, some error messages.



I tried both googleearth-package and the bin from Google and they both 
crash on takeoff. that is with 5.2 and Lenny. 5.1 works ok. The error 
appears in ~/.googleearth/crashlogs and is similar to the ones mentioned 
in the forum. When I have Sid up and running again, I'll try that.

I tried both, none working. Here is the error message I get:
Google Earth detected an error while trying to authenticate. Please check the 
following:
-Your network connection (can you get to www.google.com?)
-your firewall settings (are you blocking /usr/lib/googleearth-bin?)

Error code: 29


But, since I dont use it much, I never care to loock into the problem.

Oddly enough, I reran it with 'sudo' after I got home from work, and
it does work that way all right. But it is strange there is no network
connection when run as an ordinary user. I had to run the install as
root to get write permission to where it lives
(/usr/local/google-earth).

The extra features are worth it though - traffic, street view, weather
and other stuff has been integrated. Plus, sky view works now - before
it would crash every time I tried to switch between ground and sky.

Hi David,
Except for the fonts, which for me were ok in 4.2 but not 4.3b, our
experiences are identical. No earth, no connection no nothing in 4.3.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
