For those getting the gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. use this command instead:
wget --no-check-certificate -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -

Bill’s fix worked for that step.

The problem is with the hyphen after the -O parameter … the symbol is NOT a normal hyphen … type it in instead of copy/paste (and use normal hyphen instead!) and you’ll find it works just fine!

When is the native linux version to be released, please, please, Mr & Mrs Google???

Other than that - thanks for this - it’s great!

I agree with crjackson; why does Google force a wine implementation with the package, not caring if another installation of wine is already present in the target system?

If they do it out of assuming that people wont know the difference and need to be spoon fed, well that would be just plain arrogant; IMO they should provide with packages with and without wine and allow people to decide which version they want to install, and the version with wine is to be provided only because probably someone out there wants to run *only* picasa under wine and so they could use an embedded package.

Otherwise why have *two* version of wine installed?

Will this destroy my album definitions from Picasa 2.7, and if so is there any way to keep them?

@Crjackson

This is native linux version

By: crjackson

crjackson — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 21:09:02 +0000

Is this native Linux, or does it run on top of a custom wine install like other versions?

It was a fairly easy error to commit,
Its not the wget that needs the “sudo” but the “apt-key” so the correct command (one liner) should be :

wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -

Cheers,

That work:

1.using the following command

wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

2.using the following command

sudo apt-key add linux_signing_key.pub
