Picasa would not log into my account

Question

I have installed Wine on 11.10, but for some reason Picasa does not detect the internet connection, which exist system wide, except for Picasa

Any suggestions?

Hi, I have reinstalled picasa 3.0 for linux after having replaced ubuntu 11.04 by 11.10. But this time I can log in web album/google account using any browser but cannot log in my picasa web album through picasa. Every time I try, it says authentication failure. I dont understand where the problem is. Could any one help?

OK, I find how to work this out.

If you've not already done so then install Wine. Now all you have to do is copying the wininet.dll.so file from /usr/lib/wine/ to /opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/lib/wine/ overwriting the one that's there. Picasa should now work!

Try to use Shotwell, to post Photos in Picasa, It works perfectly.

This version of Picasa doesn't work because it uses libraries and other processes that only Windows uses. Just in case, Picasa for linux is outdated, they don't have a new version yet!

Before copying, I need to obtain the root permission: run in Terminal: ”gksudo nautilus” (for Ubuntu users).
