How to install Picasa on the Ascer Aspire One.

Picasa is a great free application for storing, sorting and editing pictures.

I’ve used it before on a PC but I didn’t now that there was a Linux version until now.

To Install Picasa:

  • Download the Linux version of Picasa which will work on the Acer Aspire One by Clicking here.
  • Choose to open the file with the software installer application, you will need to enter your Admin Password.
  • The software installation process will now begin, however no icon will be installed into the Advanced Menu.

To add a Menu Item for Picasa in the Advanced Menu.

  • Right Click on the desktop to display the menu
  • Select Settings and the Menu Editor
  • Click on Add Entry
  • Enter Picasa 3 in the Name
  • Enter picasa in the command box (make sure it’s all lowercase)
  • Choose an icon.
  • Click on OK

You will now be able to run Picasa from the Advanced Menu
