On http://picasa.google.com/linux/faq.html#6 they show you can launch Picasa, with the below command, but no joy with that on my box: [lanny at dell1602 ~]$ /opt/picasa/bin/picasa /opt/picasa/bin/picasa: line 139: 4833 Segmentation fault "$PIC_BINDIR"/wrapper check_dir.exe.so /opt/picasa/bin/picasa: line 175: 4928 Segmentation fault "$PIC_BINDIR/wrapper" regedit /E $registry_export HKEY_USERS\\S-1-5-4\\Software\\Google\\Picasa\\Picasa2\\Preferences\\ [lanny at dell1602 ~]$
