That was quick. The Google engineers say thanks for reporting this! A fix will come out soon.

For the record, the fix is to replace in /opt/google/earth/pro/googleearth :

“$(dirname “$0”)/googleearth-bin” “$@”

with:

“$(dirname “$(readlink -f “$0”)”)/googleearth-bin” “$@”

Seems new problem or use old version text from 20/04

Check for what is the error in your case:

LANG=en google-earth-pro

This is the error I found when starting google-earth-pro...

Read Wiki please.
