PICASA 3 for OpenSuse 11.1 - How to install?

English Applications
#1

Hi.

I just installed 11.1 and it is working fine with wireless connectivity without any issues at all.

The only issue (so far) is that I tried to install Picasa3 (my favorite photo editing software) but after downloading it, many errors occured

Package /tmp/picasa-3.0-current.i386.rpm could not be installed.

Details:
Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: warning: /tmp/picasa-3.0-current.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 7fac5991
error: Failed dependencies:
lsb >= 3.1 is needed by picasa-3.0.5744-02.i386
lsb-core-ia32 >= 3.0 is needed by picasa-3.0.5744-02.i386
libsane.so.1 is needed by picasa-3.0.5744-02.i386

what shoud i do?

Additional YaST Package Repositories - openSUSE

Here is a similar post without definite answers.

This makes Picasa3 hard to install on OpenSuse but Picasa3 was very easy to install on Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex.

Any step by step user-friendly instructions?

Hi
It tells you in the second post on that link, install the
sane-backends, use yaST…

can you be more specific on where it is in Yast?

After going to Yast, what is the next step?

I am a complete newbie with OpenSuse.

Hi
YaST-> Software-> Software Management and the search on sane-backend,
select and install.

Just follow the advice on this page to install Picasa via Yast.

I’m a nuby myself and it worked for me.
