I can say that so far, I can do 99% of what I need to work. The only non compatible thing I have to use with a win xp VM is Gotomeeting (gotomeeting, mandatory for my company, verifies the OS before installing, so even with Wine it is possible to install)

Once again, thank you very much.

You can locate the GoogleEarth script by typing ‘which googleearth’
Check the file type with the ‘file’ command before opening in an editor.
GoogleEarth ofter relocates in /opt, especially if you install the Google .bin instead of the Medibuntu .deb, so try to look over there.
You can also use ‘find / -name googleearth -type f’ or ‘locate googleearth’, but the first might take a while to run (and might return several results) and the latter will be fast, but will probably return many results. You’ll have to sort things out…

If everything fails, you can create a script yourself :

cat > ~/ge< #!/bin/sh
export LC_ALL=C
export LANG=C
googleearth
EOF

then make it executable :

chmod +x ~/ge

And run it with :

~/ge

Not very clean, but should work as last resort.
You can also move this script to /usr/local/bin/ to keep things organized.

Good luck.

BTW : there is a newer GE version available.
