[Bug 1160289] Re: Google earth search does not zoom onto a location
I confirm that Cip Man's solution works for Ubuntu 19.04 in pt-br. The following command solved the problem: LC_NUMERIC=en_EN google-earth-pro Since updates in Google Earth may change its wrapper script (what would make the bug reappear), instead of patching the script, I changed the related .desktop file by: 1. Copying the root version of google-earth-pro.desktop to a local place: cp /usr/share/applications/google-earth-pro.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/google-earth-pro.desktop 2. Making the new google-earth-pro.desktop executable: chmod +x ~/.local/share/applications/google-earth-pro.desktop 3. Opening it in a text editor: xdg-open ~/.local/share/applications/google-earth-pro.desktop 3.1. Changing the line Exec=/opt/google/earth/pro/google-earth-pro %f To Exec=env LC_NUMERIC=en_EN /opt/google/earth/pro/google-earth-pro %f 3.2 Removing the following line, which seems to be ill-formed: MultipleArgs=false 4. Registering the new .desktop file: desktop-file-install --dir=~/.local/share/applications/ --rebuild-mime- info-cache ~/.local/share/applications/google-earth-pro.desktop update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications/ Now, GNOME Shell should open an instance of Google Earth where this issue is solved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1160289 Title: Google earth search does not zoom onto a location To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/googleearth-package/+bug/1160289/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This bug seems to apply even if English is default, or "echo $LANG" produces en_US.UTF-8 In any case, instead of creating a new script, it may be easier just to edit the existing wrapper script (i.e., the result of ls -al `which google-earth` which on my system is /opt/google/earth/free/googleearth) and add the line export LANG=en_US between the definition of FindPath and script_path=$(FindPath $0); -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1160289 Title: Google earth search does not zoom onto a location To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/googleearth-package/+bug/1160289/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1160289] Re: Google earth search does not zoom onto a location
I'd like to add to madvinegar's instruction that to make the script executable in graphical user interface, you need to start nautilus with root privileges with 'gksu nautilus' (you have to give that command in the terminal). 'Sudo nautilus' doesn't seem to work properly, at least not for me. If you don't have gksu installed, you can find it in Ubuntu Software Center. I'm not an expert, but this worked for me. Perhaps it would be a good idea include madvinegar's solution to the Google Earth installation instruction in help.ubuntu.com, or some other fitting place, as a large part of the users may suffer from this bug. It might be good to adjust it a little to make it more approachable for users with little command line experience.

It is 08 April 2015 and I can confirm the bug still has not been eliminated. That's a bad for Google!

[Bug 1160289] Re: Google earth search does not zoom onto a location
Solución completa para perdida de zoom al hacer una búsqueda de calle en google earth en español (Thanks madvinegar!!): El problema es que por alguna razón el zoom de búsqueda no funciona con otras configuraciones de lenguaje de sistema...y esta solución mantiene los menúes en español (si los quieres en inglés solo basta con cambiar en el archivo es_US por en_US, todo sin comillas. 1. Crear un archivo de texto earth.sh (sin las comillas), así: abrir terminal luego colocar: sudo gedit earth.sh copiando el siguiente contenido: #!/bin/bash LANG=es_US google-earth 2. Seleccionar guardar y guardarlo en /opt/google/earth/free: 3. luego ir a esa carpet: sudo nautilus: /opt/google/earth/free, buscar el archivo earth.sh y haciendo clic derecho seleccionar la pestaña permisos y tildar ejecutar este archivo como programa 4. Ahora abrir el archivo de lanzador de unity asi: sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/google-earth.desktop: y cambiar la linea exec para que quede así/opt/google/earth/free/earth.sh(de esta manera le decimos al lanzador que lance nuestro script y no el archivo binario de earth directamente). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1160289 Title: Google earth search does not zoom onto a location To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/googleearth-package/+bug/1160289/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Complete workaround based on my above solution: 1.

Then I placed said script inside /opt/google/earth/free: sudo cp earth.sh /opt/google/earth/free 3.
