Hi
I installed Picasa 3 Beta 64bit on my UBUNTU 10.10 64 , but there is
no face detection feature !

What's the problem ?

hard to tell w/o knowing the version. "3 Beta" is *not* definitive.

install via wine, picasa38-setup.exe, for the latest.

Rosamiani, check the version of Picas you have installed by clicking
«Help» → «About Picasa» in the Picasa Toolbar. If you don't have a
version of 3.8, follow Patrick's instructions above....

So you have to install the Windows version 3.8 of Picasa and run it under Wine?  In other words the Linux version 3.0 beta doesn't have face detection?

Nope

That *is* correct. But why would you want to run 3.0? It has much fewer
features and does not run as well as the 3.8 version under wine which even
reports itself as a linux version:
"Picasa Version 3.8. (Build 117.4300,0)for Linux."

That's odd, I'm using "Picasa Version 3.0.0 (Build 57.4402,0) for Linux"
in Mageia Linux and face detection works fine. (Not that I ever use it)
Wine is not installed. It does everything I need.

Wine is *most* definitely installed. Look under /opt/ or /opt/google/,
cannot remember which it is.

Picasa *is* a windows app provided in a package containing an adapted wine
and the windows executable.

Since this is so, why run an outdated and feature crippled version when
you can have a nearly identical app with almost all of the intended
features as provided by the windows version in picasa38-setup.exe?

Your choice, isn't linux wonderful?
