Picasa installs but is missing in the menu
- by Swapnil Narendra
Acer Aspire One Netbook Running
Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.10 (freshly
installed) 1 GB Ram 150 GM HDD Space
I am trying to install Picasa and when I do, it runs its course telling me that it has been installed. But when I try to look for Picasa to run it, it didnt show in the menu anywhere. I am unable to find Picasa on my system and it says that it has been installed already when I try to reinstall it.
I have tried a few things;
looked for the key:
wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -
.. and then added it.
tried the following commands after adding Picasa to my source list:
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install picasa
and here is what I got:
swapnil@iva-swapo-netbook:~$ sudo apt-get install picasa
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
picasa is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
and when I tried to look for Picasa again.. I couldnt find it.
So I am unable to install Picasa on my system.
Please help.
(I am also running this thread on ubuntu forums and havent got the solution yet so I am now here)
tried Jorge's solution and it brought Picasa immediately, however I am unable to keep it in the launcher. There is no such option. All I can see is only 2 options:
1. Wine
2. Quit
Still need help to keep it in the menu/launcher !
