View 6 RepliesI just installed 11.3 and everything works beautifully, but for some reason I can't sign in to Picasa. Everything works fine in Picasa, but when I sign in I get an invalid password message. I know the password is correct because I can switch to the browser and sign in with it, but for some reason it's not working within the program.
Has anyone else had any issues with this? I searched, but the problems with other user's Picasa programs seem to be with the program not working at all or crashing.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an HP laptop. I had Ubuntu 9 running perfectly for months and now it won't boot at all. When I start the computer it begins with the BIOS screen (and option to enter startup/boot menu). Then, that's it! Black screen, no matter how long you wait. I am running Ubuntu live off of a USB stick so I know all my hardware is fine.
When it crapped out:
I was doing basic things such as I had Gedit, FireFox and Chrome (for emails) running. I wanted to do some image, batch edits and after googling a bit decided to install Picasa. The install seemed fine and I had Picasa up and running. All of a sudden a text file I wanted to edit with Gedit gave me an insufficient permissions error warning.
I do not remember exactly what I did from there but basically I closed out everything and shut down the computer, it hasn't booted since.
I really don't want to have to reinstall/reconfig my whole computer again. However I am not all that savvy with computers let alone Ubuntu, so if it's going to be a long, drawn out process trying to recover...
When i try to connect to my web albums in picasa 3 it doesn't connect. it says something about checking my internet connection but it's fine. any one else having this?

Going to default media options also does not give me picasa. I don't know where else to look for changing it. Something in gconf-editor perhaps?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there any software that runs on Linux that is similar to Picasa?I mean, it must be very easy to use, and it must let the user do the enhancements that a Picasa user would like to do to images.It would be nice if it were free as in speech, but beer is OK also.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn my photos folder, I have hundreds of folders, each with Picasa.ini files.
Unfortunately, a lot of these files are actually ".picasa.ini" files & Picasa 3.0 does not recognize them.
All I want to do is rename all those ".picasa.ini" files to "Picasa.ini".
If there was a GUI way to do this, all in one go, then that would be my prefered method.
I couldn't find one, so reluctantly tried Terminal. After a lot of reading & trying, still no success.
"locate .picasa.ini" finds all the files easily.
I tried many variants around: "rename -v -n 's/.picasa.ini$/Picasa.ini/' .picasa.ini" to run a simulation without screwing anything up yet, but at best they only seem to rename one occurence, not all the files.
I am running Fedora 14 and I installed Picasa from the rpm provided on Google's website. Of course, there was an error when I launched it. This was due to the wine-preloader binary that is provided by Picasa being too old. I replaced it with my brand new one and Picasa started running. The problem is that I cannot log into Web Albums because it tells me that Picasa cannot reach the server or whatever. Error message:

Is there a wine internet module that exists, and if so, can I replace it with the one provided by Picasa, wherever it is ?
Picasa is not available in Synaptic package manager,the *.deb I have does not fit ubuntu 11.04,any suggestion I can get similar software as Picasa for Ubuntu 11.04 ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have about 20 000 photos in XP which have mostly been tagged, cropped, etc using Picasa. That Picasa is working OK.
I am shifting my activities from XP to Ubuntu & am just getting to the Photo part.
In Ubuntu, I have the current Picasa (3.0.5744-02) & that is working OK with any new photos I download to Ubuntu & modify in Picasa there.
My next step was to copy a folder of photos from XP to Ubuntu & look at them in Picasa. They copy perfectly & Picasa finds them OK. All the tags are there OK.
But the cropping & other editing from Picasa XP is not seen in Picasa Ubuntu.
The ini file is there & looks the same as ini files generated in Ubuntu.
Should I expect my XP edits to be visible in Ubuntu?
How can I get that to work, without re-editing 20 000 photos?
how do i make "picasa" the default program for viewing my photoes.im now using "google chrome" as my prefered browser,instead of firefox,much better imho,
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have tried to run Picasa 3 (beta) and version 2.7 in Fedora 15 installed from rpms and get the same results.
First of all - [gary@FedoraCore15 ~]$ uname -r 2.6.38.8-32.fc15.i686.PAE F15 is a fresh install, no preupgrade etc. Dual core processor, 6 gigs memory 2.5 TB
At first I got an SELinux alert, troubleshooter gave me three options. I followed the last option, I believe I set a policy for wine-preloader only to mmap low memory. These were the commands I got from the troubleshooter:
[root@FedoraCore15 gary]# grep wine-preloader /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
[root@FedoraCore15 gary]# semodule -i mypol.pp
After this I got no errors from SELinux or anywhere else, but no Picasa. If I run Picasa from a terminal I get the following: [gary@FedoraCore15 ~]$ /usr/bin/picasa
/usr/bin/picasa: line 189: 3186 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$PIC_BINDIR"/wrapper check_dir.exe.so

Anyone aware of a photo-organizer that sorts by folder like picasa does it? Like when you have all your different albums already neatly sorted into different folders Picasa just lists each folder as a separate album, regardless of date and other information. It didn't work in f-spot when I last tried (couple of month ago) and I haven't tried it shotwell and gthumb yet because it isn't mentioned anywhere under their respective features. Also I'm hesitating to download and install both these apps because I have a lot of pictures which take a while to import.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWell I want install Picasa on ubuntu. I downloaded the deb file and installed it and picasa is also showing in application-graphics, but when i click it nothing happens. And when I right click any image there is no option for open with picasa. And also in ubuntu software center when I searched for picasa in installed program to remove it I found nothing. I cant figure it out how to do this. So as you can see picasa is showing as it is installed but nothing happens.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter a fresh install of opensuse 11.3 x86_64, using a NET install CD, I noticed that the boot disk layout has overlapping partitions. I've noticed one other post that mentioned this at the very end. Is this a known problem already? Or is there something I'm missing that makes this okay?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm running openSUSE 11.3 and screwed some things up so that I can't install anything, including UNetbootin. So I decided to completely reinstall. I'm limited to using my hard drive as there's no CD/DVD or floppy drives installed on the machine and BIOS does not support booting from USB.
I found these instructions - Install any Linux distro directly from hard disk without burning any DVD - Just Another Linux Lover Blog
From the terminal enter these commands
sudo mkdir /distro
sudo chmod `whoami`:`whoami`
cp MYLINUX.iso /distro/distro.iso
Now extract Linux_kernel & Ram_disk to /distro#
Open /boot/grub/menu.lst
#ADD NEW ENTRY#
title Install Linux
root (hdX,X)
kernel /distro/Linux_kernel
initrd /distro/Ram_disk
Reboot and select "Install Linux" from grub. Blog Widget by LinkWithin
Creating the folder "distro" on root was easy and went smoothly. I can't seem to make the second 'whoami' command work, though. I copied-and-pasted "sudo chmod `whoami`:`whoami`" into the terminal. It asks me for the root password, I enter that and then get
chmod: missing operand after `holly:holly'
Try `chmod --help' for more information.
I didn't see anyone reply in the comments of that page saying they had trouble with it, so I think I'm just being an idiot. One person did suggest adding distro at the end on another page and it gets me
chmod: invalid mode: `holly:holly'
Try `chmod --help' for more information.
i know if u search a solution in forums u get so much confused information. i hope this little manual will help all with the nvidia driver problem! u dont need to edit or create a xorg.conf or something to run the driver correct and u need no blacklistedit too! if u did the standard opensuse 11.3 install its only about 2 kernel packages and the disabling of the x11noveau driver.
1. after standard installing opensuse 11.3 update and install the opensuse softwareupdates
2. install with the yast software re/installer:
(from Desktop or from the terminal. the terminal text command is: yast2)
[Code]...
u dont need to change the menu.lst after all, only u get many problems. run the midnight commander and delete the nomodeset word and the noveau driver would be normally still active after reboot.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIf I install the factory release now, can I easily convert my system to a normal 11.3 point release later, after 11.3 is out? If so, how would I do it? (11.2 has an issue that affects me. It's fixed in 11.3 already, so I have to use 11.3 if I'm going to use openSUSE.)

I tried to search the internet to find out the documentation for setting up rsh on my opensuse 11.1 but was unable to find one. So i 'm posting this to help others. I know it is preferrable to use ssh instead of rsh but oracle requires use of rsh. So please dont get back to me saying "use ssh".Note to moderator: I tried to add this to "how to" section but in vain due to "no permissions error".

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am almost newbie at Linux OS, but I want to install openSUSE. Unfortunately I have some programs which probably will not work on Linux, so I want to have a Windows 7, just in case. I will partition my 250 GB HDD as follows:
1. openSUSE partition/s (... GB)
2. Windows 7 system partition (100 MB)
3. Windows 7 partition (30 GB)
4. My files' partition (the rest unallocated space) - I wish both OS's to read this partition, that's why it will be NTFS.
I would like to know how many and how big the openSUSE partition/s should be. Could it be installed on one partition, or it requires separate swap, root, etc. ones?Does those NTFS partitions slow down openSUSE?
i have a backtrack install that i would like to keep while installing suse for an everyday OS; i start the install process but when it gets to partitioning the hard drive, it doesnt seem to recognize anything already being on there; it just gives me the setup for suse, ie:
sda1 ext3 = OS sda2 or sda5 = swap. do i have to configure a partition scheme? i installed ubuntu on a desktop alongside windows very easily due to grub graphical install/partition; is there not a similar function for suse?
When I want upgrade and/or install any package from software.opensuse.org I've got error, "Couldn't find XML file" or anything same this.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI tried to install openSUSE 11.3 from the Gnome live CD. I have two disks in my system, one with a Windows Vista x64 install, and another with a Vista x86 install which I no longer need and quite a bit of free space. I want to install Linux on it. I switch OS's by switching the boot disk in BIOS, so I don't really need a boot manager, but openSUSE installs GRUB by default, so I used it.
The Vista x86 partition is a primary partition at the start of the disk, and after it there's an extended partition with quite a few logical partitions. At the end of this extended partition I added partitions for swap, / and /home (ext4 all), and a new primary partition at the end for /boot. (I actually created these for a failed Linux Mint install, but I used them and reformatted during the openSUSE install.)
I made the Vista x86 inactive and the /boot partition active, and this works. At least, I get as far as seeing a menu which I guess is GRUB. Before that I get "Error 22: No Such Partition". If I choose openSUSE from the GRUB menu I get:
Booting 'openSUSE 11.3'
root (hd1,2)
Error 22: No Such Partition
I booted from the live CD again and checked the /boot, / and /home partitions, and they contain data, so they must be formatted fine.
