OK Stephen - here are instructions that should get you up & running with Picasa and automatic updates. Download Google's GPG public key from here: http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/aboutkey.html You should see the linux_signing_key.pub on that page - right click & Save Link As to get it. Then add the key to your "Trusted Software Providers" list by going to the System Menu -> Administration -> Software Sources. Click the Authentication tab Click Import Key File Select the .pub file that you just downloaded & click OK. The Google, Inc gpg key will now be in your Trusted Software Providers list Now click the Other Software tab Click the Add button Paste Google's APT line into the dialogue box that pops up: deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free main Click OK Click Close You'll get a message saying the "information about available software is out of date" - click the Reload button. Grand - now you are able to install Google's linux software - although you might need to use a terminal to do so. sudo apt-get install picasa Hope this helps
