Public bug reported: 1. By its very nature resolving #327770 might solve this too. I didn't find the How To.
2. Context - I am trying to install Google World. If that is not a supported process, and if you deliberately do not support the Google install it would be nice to have a pointer somewhere to that sort of possibility. 3. I could not find it in the Ubuntu store. I finally found it (for Ubuntu 64bit) using Google search. It downloaded (Firefox) & afteer some long worrying silences (not good) & some prodding (even worse?) the Ubuntu installer said it was installing. Google said thankyou (web page) 4. I have done a warm restart because I could not find it on my desktop. I still can't find it as a user. 5. If I sudo, find it and manage to launch it, it is not clear how I then would iconise the process. Ths bug report is explaining why I think the user guide will not meet the needs of a 'user' who would like to install Google Earth. A work- around would be very welcome but it is not the real point! There are generic gaps in the user guide which this specific problem exposes.
