Picasa2 and Ubuntu AMD64 platform

JayGee · 08-21-2006, 11:18 PM

Hi all,
Can I install Picasa2 for Linux at the Ubuntu AMD 64 platform? I downloaded the *.deb file and I tried

Code:

dpkg -i --force-architecture <location and file name>

but I couldn't start the program. Has somebody Picasa running? What is to do?

Hey, that's like "it doesn't work"... You need to make reproducable what you did.

Yup

Quote:

64 ... --force-architecture

To my knowledge, that shouldn't be of any point.

I dont't understand what you mean by that.

Do you have Ubuntu for AMD64?

The schema for any error report is: Action taken (being reproducable if ever possible) -- Expected results versus actual results ((error) messages literally cited if ever possible)

Also, assumptions that might prove irrelevant may block the problem solving process. As environmental information, they're fine, though. - So: No.

Very interesting response. Thank you robbbert! I'll keep trying.

You probably mean, you didn't find the .EXE in your Start menu.

Here's a partial answer, and here's another one.

Just in case you won't keep trying.

Oh, yes, I found "Picasa2" in the start menu, but it didn't start.

Hopefully, there'll be some output by entering "picasa" in a terminal...
