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
