I installed Picasa on openSUSE 10.2 but it would not start.
After some playing with WINEDEBUG=1 and strace I noticed many failures of mmap. Kissed by the debugging muse I tried ulimit -v unlimited and that was it. Problem solved. See also SOFTVIRTUALLIMIT in /etc/sysconfig/ulimit.
Level 2: take the directory with 3500 images and sort it somehow.

Hey Martin,
Thanks for publishing your tip on using Google Picasa with OpenSUSE 10.2; I tried running "ulimit -v unlimited" and setting SOFTVIRTUALLIMIT to 0 in /etc/sysconfig/ulimit
Instead of nothing, I got the license dialog. Upon accepting the agreement, I got nothing. Now I'm back to getting nothing when try to load Picasa.
Maybe I should simply find an open source photo organizer...

Hi shak,
Remove or rename your .picasa folder. It should work

Are you running: ulimit -v unlimited &&/opt/picasa/bin/picasa (or ulimit -v unlimited &&{path to your picasa installation}/bin/picasa) ?
