Software :: Picasa 3 Will Not Open Up In Fedora 15 Final Release?
Jun 19, 2011
I 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:
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
This is the first time in two and half years of using Ubuntu that I've had to decide to downgrade, pretty disappointed that there are so many bugs in a final release, especially the more irritating bugs such as:
After alt+tabing I can't type sometimes (I've posted about this before), after a clean install problem still persists, I alt+tab a lot so not being able to type without minimizing my window is irritating
compiz + jaunty issue of assigning a key to bring up a terminal. The bug has been confirmed but if there is a fix, it wasn't put out with the release and requires tampering (usually I'd be okay with this but coupled with the other issues I see no point in wasting time)
nvidia card with twinview - with every prior release nvidia-settings worked flawlessly with twinview. Now the biggest issue is that when I fullscreen something it takes up both screens (such as a movie), when I am trying to work on one monitor and run a movie on another one I can't fullscreen because if I do it takes up both screens. I never have had this issue with a prior release.
I guess there is a first time for everything. I'm downgrading my system as well as my girlfriends because of the known intel graphics problem (I've read the wiki's about why they chose the driver but....a final release of an OS should not contain beta/experimental drivers that freeze up a computer set as a default).
We have a linux server (centos 5.2 final), with postfix smtp server, webmin, usermin and sugar crm We need to backup all the data, and then perform a restore on a clean machine, without any OS installed yet.
I look into many pages that says that doing a backup on linux it's as easy as pack all the files in a .TAR file. Unpacking the tar will restore the system to it's original state. Also, i'm confused because if we perform a backup and mysql has active connections, perhaps the database would be inconsistent or corrupted. In the restore step, do i need a live CD in order to boot up linux command prompt? �Can it be from any linux version, or only centos version?
I am wondering about when Gnome 3 is released, how long until it's in the "stable" repositories?I have generally used Ubuntu, but I don't like the Unity interface they are pushing out in the next version, so I am greatly considering simply using Debian. Debian also is my first consideration because Ubuntu is based off it.But, I want to try the Gnome 3 interface first. I already have Debian installed and updated, and am now simply waiting on the GUI.
I installed the RC of Lucid on an old AMD X2 5600 w/4GB DDR2 ram, and put it in the other room and installed LAMP on it to use as a local development server. It works beautifully over the network.
1. There will be an upgrade option to go from RC to final release, right?
2. When upgrading, will this kill my LAMP install? I really don't wanna go from scratch now that I have it all up and running with a load of CMS systems installed for test environments
I can't install Ubuntu 11.04 32bit Desktop edition on my Dell Mini 10v. I followed the instructions from the Ubuntu website and made a bootable USB drive using the universal USB installer for windows. I put the usb drive on my netbook and prompted the boot options to boot from the usb drive. Once I got to the installation screen and attempt to install ubuntu on my hard drive it goes blank for a few moments, and a wall of text floods my screen and it stops installing.
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 beta a couple of days back.This is the first time I am using a beta release.Some programs are crashing, although not frequently.
My question is - WHEN THE FINAL VERSION OF UBUNTU 10.04 IS AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD, IS IT MANDATORY TO DOWNLOAD THE ENTIRE ? OR WILL UPDATING OR UPGRADING VIA THE system ---- administration --- update manager will upgrade my current beta version to the final release ???
I want Picasa to be the default viewer for my pics. Yes, I've right clicked>properties>open with and picasa is not given as an option. 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?
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?
I didn't see another thread about Google Picasa being blocked by SE Linux. How do I tell my machine to allow it to run? I have the same problem with a program called Smartboard that I have installed but can't open.
About a couple of days ago I'm sure I saw that Open Office was offering a DVD file download of their latest version. It was including versions for Win. Mac and Linux all on the one DVD. Now, after buying a DVD burner for my 'puter, I have been unable to find that information again.
Anybody know of any Firefox 3.5 final RPMS for Fedora 10? I looked a rebuilding the Fedora 11 RPMS for Fedora 10, but the other packages requiring an upgrade as well is getting out of control.
I was using Fedora 12 beta release, now how to move away from raw-hide and start using fedora 12 Final repo and update it properly?
[Code]...
Edit: BTW , if i ran yum checkupdate,i start getting FC13 package listings, i see rawhide has already moved to FC13, good that i dont let yum auto-update.
I have tried everything and it has been 2 weeks of build time. I have Fedora 12, Apache 2.2, MySQL, and PHP installed on my computer. I have built a virtual host for Apache that works (for the most part). The virtual host references the directory "/home/username/public_html". When I put in my domain it goes to the right folder and accesses the files (permissions = 755). I sut down SELinux so that is not an issue.
Here is my problem: I can not get php to link to other php files called in the same folders or sub folders. The WebServer is telling me that the file does not exist. For instance, I have a login script that shows up on Index.php. This file is in "/code/login_script/login.php". In short I can access the file but when login.php tries to call login_check.php (the code that validates the user) I get a 404 error - file "can not be found" (despite being in the same directory as login.php and have the same permissios set both to the directories it is nested in and the file itself).
I wanted to start using Fedora as a segway to RHEL for a comany I an trying to build . . . but so far it has been nothing but road blocks. I can not get to the code part as I am configuring non stop.
I 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.
Tried to install picasa 3.6 4different times the final was using tweak5.41 &the windows version read about it a help forum still did/nt work I/ve got picasa3 already but it is all grey tryed to update but nothing anyone give me a way to install it please
Is 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.
However i have just installed Picasa 3 and it will not start. The splash screen comes up then goes away then nothing. I tried starting it in a terminal to see what the output said but nothing there either. Anyone have any ideas about this one?
In 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:
Code: Login failed
Please check that you are connected to the internet, and that your internet connection is working properly. If this problem persists and you contact support, please provide the following error code:
HttpOpenRequest failed (121570 - https:///www.google.con/accounts/ClientAuth [13] 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 ?
I'm planning to install Fedora 11 Release Candidate on my computer because I really need a working Linux system, right now. Once the final version is released, will I have to do a fresh install or do I just update the packages on my system to get the final version?
I hope this is the right section, it looks like though. I have a small nas ( via artigo a2000 ) with 2 sata hd 1tb each with raid 1 and lvm on top configured and working great.
sda1 and sdb1 ==> md0 raid1 for /boot sda2 and sdb2 ==> md1 raid1 for swap sda3 and sdb3 ==> md2 raid1 as physical volume then volume group and lvs on top ( / is a logial volume of these )
I wish to upgrade the current fedora 12 32bit installation I have on it doing a fresh install. But because I have a lot of data on md2 ( 600GB worth ) which I don't want to copy across somewhere else first, I need to know how ( i am pretty sure i can ) to mount md2 during the installation. This way I can use the data I already have on it.
I Have installed oracle 11g release 2 in fedora 12 but after completion of the installation there is no launch shortcut has generated nor any where any icon for launching oracle is given so now how can i run oracle.
