Hi, after Picasa doesn't start do you see anything in the kernel log? Can you attach the output of dmesg after launching the program? Also perhaps running picasa from the command line might show some additional errors from userspace.
Thanks!

Sorry, newbie here just trying to help. You may have to guide me much better than that to get something useful for you.

I did have try already to run picasa from the command line to see some sort of error, though nothing appears there. In fact, it closes after a while (splash screen appears ok) without messages.

As far as I can see, no new lines are added after this event on the kernel log or in dmesg log (comparing logs before and after picasa tries to open and closes)

I have this problem on two computers running 12.04 using kernel 3.2.0-70, it works fine with previous kernel.
Running in a terminal shows nothing.

dmesg output Edit (49.6 KiB, text/plain)

Here is a dmesg output after running picasa and waiting several minutes for the flash screen to disappear.

I also have this problem. Picasa starts on 3.2.0-69 but not on 3.2.0-70. I also have not seen any error messages.

Some additional information. When Picasa starts the splash sacreen comes up imediately but there is no disc activity as is normally the case. The splash scree then goes away after about 1-2 minutes with no disc activity.

seems to me not only Picasa is affected by this bug. E.g.: http://www.postfrontal.com/FORUM/topic.asp?whichpage=1&TOPIC_ID=7803

Not sure if my last post really does relate to this bug.
But the following text I found on http://newton.freehostia.com/comp/ubstuff.html seems to describe our Problem with Picasa:

As of kernel update 3.2.0-70 a few days ago, dpmi programs under dosemu no longer work.. again. The new 3.2.63 upstream kernel removed the ltd16 workaround and was supposed to include a proper fix (espfix64) but looks like it doesn't work for whatever reason. I feel like a dinosaur... but I'm not alone. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2247766

The espfix64 patch appears to have config options to enable/disable 16 bit support...
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/4/346
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/4/372
Perhaps the 3.2.0-70 kernel was configured to disallow 16 bit segments? Reaching.
Odd that this is now affecting 32 bit kernels too, when the original issue was 64-bit only.

The file /boot/config-3.2.0-70-generic contains the following comment...
# CONFIG_X86_16BIT is not set
This is a new compile-time setting for this kernel, guessing it needs to be set?

After update 12.04 to kernel 3.2.0-70 only command line login is possible (graphic is shown for 2 seconds, than clear and change to command line login).
And the last kernels doesn't work now too!
- 69 => only command line login
- 65 (and -68, -67) => only command line
- 59 (and -64, -63, -61)

tried with old kernel -55 => graphic login works

So update to kernel 3.2.0-70 killed many older kernels before (graphic login)

Today's kernel 3.2.0-72 update fixed the issue I was having with dosemu, perhaps try Picasa after updating and see if it's fixed.

Solved with new kernel 3.2.0-72 update!

Now it's working again (or so it seems…)
