I downloaded the .rpm file from Google and am trying to install Picasa for Linux on CentOS 5. I get the below error. Is this because I'm using SELinux or because of something else? I found a small Picasa folder in /opt (24 items, 143.7 KB) but it seems to end there. Picasa is one of the programs my wife uses on Windows. TIA!

I made that mistake about 2 1/2 years ago, but this is the first time something tried to install into /opt. Picasa installed,

Hello: Starting Friday afternoon, I blew away the installations on the three (3) boxes we use as Desktops. On two (2) of them (my Dell Dimension 2400 and my wife's Compaq Evo D300v), I have MS Windows XP and CentOS5 running. :-) On my daughters box (Dell Dimension 4300) I am having problems with the partitioning. Probably this is due to some mistake I have made, with regard to

Hello: A simple question: On this Wiki page: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype it says that the normal method for the Public Key isn't working. I copied the URL for the alternate key location http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/infosys/phone/skype/rpm-public-key.asc into the browser and I get a PGP Public Key. Question: What rpm command do I use, to Import the Public Key that's in the browser

Anyone who has gotten this to work, please share! I have followed what the Wine wiki says (using quicktimealternative and realalternative) and it won't see the videos. I've even tried installing the K-Lite codec pack before these (same maker) but that doesn't work. Please help. Kinda a deal breaker for using linux, only occasionally, if I can't get it to work!

Hi, I'm running a small business (http://www.microlinux.fr) offering various services around GNU/Linux, among which migrating folks from Windows to Linux. On server and desktops, I'm using CentOS exclusively. I know, Fedora would be more suitable, but I like the solidity of CentOS, and I can always build the odd missing bits myself from Fedora SRPMS. My heavily customized

Desktop is CentOS 5.4 (32 bit). I have Google Earth version 4.2.205.5730 (13NOV2007 build date) installed. I have checkinstall (spelling?) installed, but am not sure if that was installed before or after Google Earth was installed. I have the Google Repository installed, but apparently Google Earth cannot be updated via yum and probably it was not installed via yum. Question: What is the best

Hello, I installed picasa and this installed a customized version of wine too. Picasa works very well and so I have the hope that other graphic editors could work well with this wine-version too. I want to run Photoline32 (available at http://www.pl32.com) I dont understand much about wine and the scripts delivered with the picasa-version are rather complicated - almost unreadable for me ;-)

Hi Group, I am trying to develop a Ruby on Rails Mashup which includes images and video. Would someone kindly direct me to a Ruby on Rails tutorial / code sample on: (1) Uploading an Image to Flickr or Google Picasa; and (2) Uploading a Video to YouTube or Google Video. Thanks.

Hi all, I have installed Picasa on OSX 10.4 but I cannot navigate to the folders I store my photos in to get it to monitor them. Any ideas how I do this? Apologies if this isn't the right way to post or if it's not an appropriate topic - I have only delved into Wine because I really want to use Picasa instead of iPhoto. Many thanks, Sean Send instant messages to your online friends

We rarely use M$ Windows, but I let my daughter surf pbskids.org while using Windows and a Trojan Horse modified or deleted the user32.dll file. I found the instructions on the Microsoft Support web site, and it would be very easy for me to expand a new copy of user32.dll if I could get the MS WinXP CD to work. It boots OK, I press a key so it will search hardware and it then has hard drive

On 28 July, I changed from ProtectBase to Priorities. I kept unusually detailed notes that day. Yesterday, when I added the RPMForge respository, so I could install MPlayer, I found that the /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf file no longer exists. I'm not sure how that happened. Question: Is there a way to regenerate that file? TIA -- Lanny

How can I compile wine (maybe static) to pack together with my application and distribute it, like picasa does with wine?
