Or more simply - googleearth 4.3 is available from the Ubuntu repository. Just go into Synaptic and let it download and install it for you.

Make it executable and launch it.

To expand on whats been said by ErV, you first need to make the file executable by running the commands below in a terminal

Code:

chmod +x googleearthlinux.bin

After that run the installer by entering

Code:

./googleearthlinux.bin

I wasn't using Conky. Its just superkaramba with liquid weather++ and another theme called cynapses.
