Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Google Earth on Kubuntu works pretty well.
[link|http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html|Download Google Earth]. Kubuntu defaults to placing "GoogleEarthLinux.bin" on the Desktop. To install it you need to do the following:

K -> System -> Konsole Terminal Program

cd Desktop

chmod +x G*.bin

./GoogleDesktopLinux.bin

I accepted the defaults and it installed and started right up.

Without [link|http://www.macewan.org/2006/06/12/how-to-install-google-earth-for-linux/|this HowTo] I wouldn't have figured it out, even though I knew it was an issue of marking the file as an executable rather than a data file.

Cheers,
Scott.
(Who will likely continue posting Kubuntu tips in this thread for newbies like me.)
New sh ./GoogleDesktopLinux.bin
That will work, as long as it is an executable shell script with data tagged on the end. Which is what most executable blobs like that are.
