Picasa 3.9 install how to#
They also explain that maintaining the package for Linux is becoming harder since and that is costing them time compared with Windows releases.įor instruction on how to install Picasa 3.9 in your system please have a look at "(.)today, we’re deprecating Picasa for Linux and will not be maintaining it moving forward.” ( source) Google wrong on their blog on April 20, 2012: Google explains that if a Linux user needs to use Picasa he can use the Wine version installed in Ubuntu to run the Windows binaries, making no sense to invest time developing something extra.
In the end its your choice and will lead to the same.īecause the Linux installation is just a Wine wrapper with the Windows binaries, Google has discontinued the support for Linux and the last available package in their repositories is for Ubuntu 11.10, version 3.0. If you want to install Picasa in Linux it always has to use Wine, either installed by you or using the packages from Google that contain Wine. What Google always did was to wrap Picasa in a nice package containing Picasa and a custom version of Wine. There is and there never was a native Picasa for Linux version. IV) To uninstall everything: sudo apt-get remove -purge wine sudo apt-get remove -purge winetricks sudo apt-get autoremove sudo rm /usr/share/applications/sktop rm ~/picasa39-setup.exe rm -r ~/.tmp rm -r ~/.wine rm -r ~/.local/share/applications/wine* sed -i '/wine/d' ~/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache III) After the step 5, the file "picasa39-setup.exe" can be deleted: rm ~/picasa39-setup.exe This version of Picasa 3.0 can load newer 3.9 databases if you rename.
II) If you are feeling lazy, just paste this at terminal and all the steps above will be done for you (as a user specific installation): sudo apt-get install wine winetricks & cd ~/ & wget & wine ~/picasa39-setup.exe & env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.tmp winetricks ie6 & cp -r ~/.tmp/* ~/.wine/ I much prefer this single install rather than the cumbersome playonlinux setup. Or ask for he/she to run this once at terminal: cd ~/ & wget & wine ~/picasa39-setup.exe & env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.tmp winetricks ie6 & cp -r ~/.tmp/* ~/.wine/ I) With this method each user will have to run the steps 2 to 5 to get Picasa fully working into his/her user folder. You will have to click "Next" and "Accept" in a few windows:ĥ) Copy the installation into wine folder: cp -r ~/.tmp/* ~/.wine/Ħ) Done! Now just open Picasa as any other program: Wo finde ich meine Fotos Wenn du Fotos oder Videos in Picasa-Webalben gespeichert hast, meldest du dich am besten bei Google Fotos an, um auf den Groteil. Now you have Picasa 3.9 installed but there is a problem if you want to login to Google to upload some pictures, so to fix it do this:Ĥ) Install Internet Explorer 6: env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.tmp winetricks ie6
