Running Fedora 10 (x86_64) and this fix worked for me as well (including the 4th comment on removing the .picasa folder). Thanks much!

Sequi: that’s quite strage. I’d start with reinstalling Picasa and/or Wine, and then clearing out your ~/.picasa folder – maybe there’s some setting saved that is somehow conflicting with application?

Hi Guys (John & Dawid)

I don’t wanna interrupt this conversation between savvy, but please take 5 min for this dummy. I’ve done what you’ve told me, exactly, except that I’ve used “/sbin/sysctl” instead of “sysctl” command. After doing that when I start Picasa as a user it doesn’t show me the nasty stuff Dawid posted, but instead it does “nothing”. In fact, it stays there for five seconds or so and then nothing, appears the prompt, as if nathing would have happenned.

Any ideas from the popes???

Thanks in advance, bests, Sequi.

John, that proves you’re savvy enough :) Thanks for tip!

And that?s it. Probably don?t have to mention that, as I assume readers are savvy enough, but putting above command into /etc/rc.local would probably be a grand idea. :)

/etc/sysctl.conf would be a better place to make that change permanent.
