How to install wine and google earth??

To install Google Earth go to http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html and download the .bin file. Run this file in a terminal by first setting permision to execute the file by using 'chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin' in the terminal where you downloaded the file. Then run it with './GoogleEarthLinux'. This may complain and you might need to install extra packages but I hope you will be fine.

When you downloaded the googleearth file, simply change into the directory from your download, make GoogleEarthLinux.bin executable, und run it from your terminal with ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin

Hello:

Firstly google earth:

If you are on ubuntu 7.10 type in the following command in a terminal:

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install googleearth

If you are using hardy (ubuntu 8.04) and you want the latest 4.3 package then:

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install googleearth-4.3

Note 1. If you want 4.2 package then,

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install googleearth

2.You will have to accept the Google Earth EULA.

To do the same Use tab key until OK is highlighted and then press enter key..

Secondly wine:

you need to have extra repositories enabled..
To enable all the software repositories do ref this link..

Its on debian but works for ubuntu too

For the time being, Google Earth on Linux is only available on 32-bit. Nevertheless, you can force to install it on x86_64 architecture. In Ubuntu, just use dpkg -i --force-architecture. Also, don't forget to install ia32-libs package.

Regards

Yes Bhavani, i have x86 processor.So i can't install GoogleEarth.
Now new error occured when i have gone to install some software.
It displayed:
"Cannot install 'netbeans'

This application conflicts with other installed software. To install 'netbeans' the conflicting software must be removed first.

Switch to the 'synaptic' package manager to resolve this conflict."

When i have gone to install wine by terminal.
