Today I have realized that Picasa - I am using "windows version" of picasa under wine - can not sign me in - means no web upload is possible - from my home machine (Ubuntu Gutsy 64bit) and wine showed the following error: fixme:win:FlashWindowEx 0x33afd4 fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW Option INTERNET_OPTION_CONNECT_TIMEOUT (10000): STUB fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW INTERNET_OPTION_SEND/RECEIVE_TIMEOUT not supported on protocol 1 fixme:wininet:NETCON_init can't use SSL, not compiled in. I was a bit surprised since Picasa on my office notebook (Ubuntu Feisty 32bit) worked fine. So checked the error and decided to recompile wine and see if ssl is really not compiled in. First I downloaded the source and dependencies needed to compile. # apt-get build-dep wine I would mention that it will download a lot. Then downloaded wine source too into a temporary directory and tried to compile. # mkdir /tmp/wine_build # cd /tmp/wine_build # apt-get source wine # cd wine-0.9.45 # ...
Anything I think might be interesting or useful. Planed to be mainly IT related but who knows what happens?
