Hi!I am a Debian newbie having installed Debian 9 Stretch 64 bit.I have tried installing google earth first by adding the following repository below on /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/earth/deb/ stable main
Next I installed the 2 packages below
apt-get install googleearth-package

Nobody can figure out your desktop menu, or what the pkg you installed will do better than you can. The reason is because nobody can guess what desktop or menu system you are using. Most packages have a readme file, or a man page, or some other documentation.
I often use 'apropos' command from a terminal when I can't find something.
Try typing 'apropos earth' from a terminal? Also some menu systems will search for a link when you start typing, so try opening the menu and type GOO and see if that helps. Documentation is usually in /usr/share/doc/PKGNAME
Please make some effort to find the answer before starting a lot of threads. The forum is a friendly place for the most part, but some people discourage a lot of new threads for really simple questions.

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot launch google earth Debian 9 Stretch 64
You can now also download debs of Google Earth Pro free directly from Google, though the latest version has known bugs that make it unusable with my Intel Skylake 520 GPU. Since I have an Optimus laptop with Bumblebee working, I can get it working if I start it with optirun so the Nvidia card does the 3D rendering. The bug report I found also had a link to a slightly older deb of GE Pro that did work with the Intel GPU, too.

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot launch google earth Debian 9 Stretch 64
Exactly what deb file did you install, and how did you do it? Please provide details, including terminal commands and output.
