For the second problem, I can suggest installing googleearth-package.
as root:
apt-get install googleearth-package
make-googleearth-package
As far as the first problem, I have the following pango (and pango
related) packages installed and receive no problems like you posted:
libpango1-ruby 0.15.0-1.1+b1 Pango bindings for the Ruby
libpango1.0-0 1.16.2-2 Layout and rendering of int
libpango1.0-common 1.16.2-2 Modules and configuration
libsdl-pango1 0.1.2-1 text rendering with Pango
Cheers.
Him, I did that... but nothing changed.I get no errors, nothing seems to fails.. the I just see that google-earth screen (the picture), the dock says "google earth initializing" and thats it. Nothing more happens.. it doesnt crash, if I kill it, no error message.
