I use Picasa without issues on Ubuntu 9.10 but recently installed Fedora 12 because Ubuntu was being really unstable with the proprietary drivers I needed for my graphics and wireless cards.
I installed it by adding the Google RPM repos and then: su -c 'yum install picasa' It appeared to install perfectly but whenever I go to run it from the terminal it seg faults: [aus...@austin-laptop-fedora ~]$ picasa /usr/bin/picasa: line 139: 2519 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$PIC_BINDIR"/wrapper check_dir.exe.so /usr/bin/picasa: line 175: 2629 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$PIC_BINDIR/wrapper" regedit /E $registry_export HKEY_USERS\\S-1-5-4\ \Software\\Google\\Picasa\\Picasa2\\Preferences\\ When I try running it as root it gets a little farther but then a dialogue comes up with an error about a page file and it crashes again. This sounded like the PreloaderPageZeroProblem (http://wiki.winehq.org/ PreloaderPageZeroProblem) so I followed the instructions to fix it but that did nothing. su -c 'sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr=0' appears to execute successfully but picasa still crashes the same way. the text file '/etc/sysctl.conf' has no 'vm.mmap_min_addr = 65536' line to change to '0', but even so, I tried adding one and rebooting, but that did not help either. All the documentation on how to fix this bug seems to be a couple years old, anyone have any insight on how to fix this on Fedora 12?
