Feb 13, 2011
Well 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.

I've put a second video card in my computer running 9.10(64-bit) to setup a 3rd monitor.
I'm using the following video cards with the 190 driver from nVidia: Video Card 0: nVidia GeForce 9500 (PCI express x16) Video Card 1: nVidia GeForce 6200 (PCI)
but when i run lspci the second video card isn't seen in the list. The bios is set to automatic detection, and I've seen it work on a identical second system that has windows 7 so I know the bios is capable of running the two cards concurrently.
I've verified the 190 driver is compatible with the 6200 series and have tested it by setting the bios to use the (PCI) device manually.
for some reason the drivers for my laptop graphics are not showing up.
The laptop I have is Acer 1810T. It has intel GMA 4500MHD graphics.
I also have a desktop which has Nvidia 9800GT graphics card and the drivers for that showed up automatically when i went to additional drivers in ubuntu.
I have an embedded PC104 application where I am trying to get my program to start automatically at power up. The program contains a graphical user interface, using an old SVGALIB (no longer supported). It works fine if I start it after log in.But when I put the path in rc.local, it will only run if I disable all the graphical stuff. The program bunts if it looks ahead and sees the call to vga_setmode(), where I set it for 480 x 640 resolution.
I was trying to add a virtual PDF printer and show I installed cups-pdf. Supposedly it is supposed to list the virtual pdf printer in the System->Administration->Printing dialog when I choose Add printer.But it does not do that. All it shows is the remote printers on my file server.So, opened up a web browser and when to localhost:631 and used the cups interface to add a virtual pdf printer, but still it does not show up in the printing dialog.
I got Ubuntu 9.10 running very well. ever since this morning when i booted i have that weird Panel on the desktop towards the left. It is showing basically the Application menu. I dont know why? I know i did not change anything. Also since this morning my right klick on the desktop nothing happen either? i dont want that on the Desktop!
I found that some application icons in the panel bar (at the bottom) is not shown correctly, which makes it hard to tell which application it is when I iconify that application. For example, the emacs application icon in panel bar used to be like a goat head. But now it looks like a generic icon, which I cannot tell it is an emacs application. I attached a screen shot here to show this issue.
I have just installed Ubuntu (9.10) and noted that in order to successfully run the trial off the CD I had to test in "safe graphics" mode. I have an NVIDIA GEforce 6600 GT card - which was discovered by Ubuntu in the first few minutes of the trial and so I activated the recommended driver and continued to test. After a successful trial I installed Ubuntu (dual partition Ubuntu / Windows XP), however, it seems the install didn't activate the required driver (as part of the process) and so I'm unable to get into my newly-installed Ubuntu at all. All I get is a flashing tty screen asking for my username and password - however it's erratic and won't recognise what I type. So - I'm stuck in a catch-22 as there doesn't seems to be a safe graphics mode option via the start (GRUB?) menu list.
I've just bought my first digital photo frame, so now I have to choose which photos to load to it, and then rescale them all to the correct size. So I'm wondering what's the best application to let me browse through my photos and select a subset, which I can then make a copy of.
I normally use F-Spot and I just tried selecting by using a tag, but that rapidly got tiresome using several clicks to select each picture. So then I started building up a set using ctrl-click, intending to add the tag to them all. But I got a rude shock when I right-clicked on one to rotate it and discovered that had the side-effect of deselecting all the other photos.
I am currently taking a Java class and I am not understanding it very well. I have compiled the following program, but it will not give me any data back to where I input the employee name, hours, rate. Can you look it over and tell what I am missing? I have been working on this for about 7 hours now and I have been reading and researching and just can not seem to know what is missing.
public class Employee { public static void main( String args[] )
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?
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've a 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M] on my oldish Toshiba laptop. It works sort of, I'm using it now, however everything is very very slow indeed. Very jerky indeed. Scrolling down on firefox takes an age and selecting things is rather hard. How to get it working right?
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.
I 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?
I 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...
I recently installed Ubuntu 9.04 through WUBI, but when the installation finished and I went to turn the computer on to Ubuntu, I could not get graphics working. It would appear that the resolution has been set super-high somehow, because a message will pop up saying that I don't have enough video memory to run at the resolution I'm trying. I have tried xfix in recovery modeI don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I'm using a very old monitor.
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?
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.
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.
I have just recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 on an old M35X-S149 Toshiba laptop which uses the 855gme graphics set. I am very happy with it so far and after a bit of forum searching was even able to get it to connect to my wifi. However, I am now trying to hook it to my TV using an S-video cable which worked ok when it was windows and I cant seem to get it to work. I have searched forums quite a bit and almost all resolutions seem to revolve around xorg.conf which i cannot find where it is supposed to be located. I did some more searching and found some commands to run to get one created in 9.10 and it didnt seem to create the file.
I am an extreme novice when it comes to linux related stuff, but am usually pretty good at following directions, so I was a bit disappointed that I could not get it to workOh and also, if anyone knows - is there a good replacement for autohotkey for ubuntu?I am basically writing macros to search for an image on screen and then click a button. Its not a huge deal as i still have a windows machine i can do that on, but it would be nice to have
I recently uninstalled some unnecessary libs thinking that I could work around without them. It turned out I couldn't. So I installed every single one, and it seemed like everything was working fine. But then I tried to boot, and was thrown into a low-graphics. Well I tried to boot in a low-graphics environment temporarily but it turned out X just restarted. Then I tried to reconfigure the settings, but choosing any option it threw me back into the last menu without any action being taken.
So I googled up some lines it was vomiting at me and it indeed might be my xorg not configured properly. but every time I try to reconfigure it and I look into the .conf file it turns out it is completely blank. maybe I should also note I am sporting a 64 bit bubuntu, not an NVidia though, Intel Series 4 express chipset family thing. I think it is a GMA4500MHD but not sure, what shall I do so that I don't have to reinstall my beautiful pimped out system?
After upgrading (from 10.10), i get a line command prompting for login. I cannot get past this line/prompt. How do I bypass this prompt? So that I can access a prior version, if possible.
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?
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 ?
