I have a windows installation laying around, and i can log in from there, and once logged in Picasa does not ask for the password again, so it must be storing something no? But not for me.Īfter a few hours, I stopped trusting the internet and started to think. Most of the interwebs suggest installing ie8 using winetricks to solve that and it indeed solves the problem of the webview not showing, but still i can't log in (interestingly the webview will tell you if you wrote the password wrong).Īt this point i was stuck for a few hours, even found some dude that claimed he had installed Google Chrome Frame for Internet Explorer and that had fixed for him. First problem is that the webview using for login doesn't even show. The problem is once you are running it, being able to log in. The story is this: Installing picasa 3.9 for windows under wine is pretty easy (next, next, next). It has not been trivial to get to work so I'll share it here for others that committed the error of trusting privative software and services. Since he's heavily invested in Picasa I've had to install Picasa for windows under wine to make it work. I suggested to wait to see if they would come back, but it seems they haven't and so i've had to fix it for him. Unfortunately a few weeks ago seems Google decided to kill support for old APIs in the server side and Picasa 3.0 for Linux was giving back an error when trying to upload an image ("Could not find POST url" or similar). ![]() ![]() It doesn’t touch your photos, everything will be just the same, you’ll just have the latest version of the program.A few years ago I showed my father Picasa under Linux, he liked it and started to use it to upload his photos, and has been using it for almost 6 years, even Google discontinued Picasa for Linux at version 3.0 (Picasa is at 3.9 now). Don’t worry, you won’t end up with two copies, it will just overwrite your existing software. Once it is downloaded, you need to open and run the picasa39-setup.exe to install it. If it reports that “the application is up to date” and you know that is not true, you can always go to and click on Download Picasa. If there is an update available, it will start downloading and it will update when you click OK. If you want to manually check for updates, you can click on Help->Check for Updates. Update Automatically is usually the right choice. Towards the bottom of the dialog box, you should see Automatic Updates and your choices are: Update Automatically, Ask Before Downloading Updates, Don’t Check for Updates. To see if you have Automatic Updates turned on, click on Tools->Options->General. If you have Automatic Updates turned on, you should get notices automatically when there is a new version and you will be prompted to install it. Notice the numbers that are highlighted in yellow – that’s your version and build. You will see a screen that looks like the following image. ![]() ![]() To check what version of Picasa you have, click on the Help menu, then About Picasa. They have since issued the next ‘build’ 136.19 and that problem has gone away. I found that I had to click the dropdown arrow to select my camera – when I hadn’t had to do that before. Some people couldn’t import pictures from their camera at all. A recent Picasa update (3.9 build 136.18) broke some of the functionality of the Import feature.
