[/code]I have installed it on 19.2/3?& it works. MX-18.3 produces an error. PGP error I'm pretty sure. I tried several other servers to no avail.
sorry---- long time since I posted

I get the error too in MX18 and the fix was to just look at the MX19 version of /usr/share/mx-packageinstaller-pkglist/google_earth_64.pm and add the following line as the first line of the preinstall instructions:

Code: Select all

wget -q -O - https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -

@tony37

I have installed a week old snapshot of 18.3 on a old 500g spinner I had laying around. I just wanted some clarity on changing the code. Do I just copy & paste your code (first content) leave the rest),or, the code you gave to be the only thing in preinstall.

Thanks Jerry

the preinstall instructions should look like this:

Code: Select all

<preinstall>
wget -q -O - https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/earth/deb/ stable main">/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mxpitemp.list
apt-get update
</preinstall>
