At last, I was able to play with Google Earth under Linux.
Previously, whenever I used to connect, got this response:
"Google Earth detected an error when trying to authenticate"
- Check if you are able to connect to http://www.google.com
- Check your firewall settings, if you are not blocking /opt/google-earth/googleearth-bin
Readme.linux provided the way, I have explained the complete trials I went through here.
But in short:
From Shell:
1) export http_proxy=http://proxy_ip:proxy_port
2) googleearth
Now it worked.
NOTE: Start google earth from command line only as it was able to recognize http_proxy, dont use Gui Interface option as it could not recognize http_proxy.
