Anyone having trouble with Picasa 2.7 / Fedora 9 ?? I can't run it as regular user as it segfaults.
Code:
[glenn@toshiba ~]$ picasa
/usr/bin/picasa: line 139: 14336 Segmentation fault "$PIC_BINDIR"/wrapper check_dir.exe.so
/usr/bin/picasa: line 175: 14435 Segmentation fault "$PIC_BINDIR/wrapper" regedit /E $registry_export HKEY_USERS\\S-1-5-4\\Software\\Google\\Picasa\\Picasa2\\Preferences\\
If I run it as root or with sudo picasa it runs without issue. I've been looking around for info and have found a temporary (until I reboot) fix.
Code:
[glenn@toshiba ~]$ sudo sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr=0
That command is from
http://wiki.winehq.org/PreloaderPageZeroProblem. Once I run this command Picasa will run as regular user with no errors. The page also points out
Quote:
To avoid having to give that same command every time you reboot, also edit the file /etc/sysctl.conf, e.g. with the command
$ sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf
and change the line that reads:
vm.mmap_min_addr = 65536
to:
vm.mmap_min_addr = 0
That will apply the workaround for you when the system starts.

I haven't tried editing /etc/sysctl yet. Probably will in a few minutes. So am I asking a question here or providing some sort of fix for those with Picasa issues? At any rate, any thoughts?
Edit:
The line mentioned in /etc/sysctl.conf doesn't exist so I'm adding it and rebooting. Let's see what happens.
