Hi, you have to understand that Google Earth is not found in Ubuntu's
repositories.  That requires you to go online, search for Google Earth,
download the .deb, and install it from there.  This situation also
applies for Google Chrome.  Although the application isn't found in the
desktop, it should exist in your launcher.

Marking as invalid.
