You can use the command mimeopen, in a terminal go to the folder where you have some pictures with extensions, you should do it for every extension. Suppose for picture named image.jpg. Run the command:
mimeopen -d image.jpg
You will get a popup menu, where you can see some options, here is sample of my apps:
If mimeopen package not exists then you can install:
libfile-mimeinfo-perl

$ mimeopen -d e.jpg 
Please choose a default application for files of type image/jpeg

    1) Wine Internet Explorer  (wine-extension-jpe)
    2) Wine Internet Explorer  (wine-extension-jfif)
    3) gThumb  (gthumb)
    4) Pinta  (pinta)
    5) Image Viewer  (gpicview)
    6) Shutter  (shutter)
    7) Firefox Web Browser  (firefox)
    8) Shotwell Viewer  (shotwell-viewer)
    9) GIMP Image Editor  (gimp)
    10) Other...
AS you can notice you could see some wine apps so if you find picasa choose it, else choose other(10) and type the command that runs your picasa. It looks like
WINEPREFIX=~/.purval WINE=/opt/wine-staging/bin/wine /opt/wine-staging/bin/wine ~/.wine/drive_c/myapps/foo.exe
This Configuration files are located at: /usr/share/mime/image

Error while connecting RDP "an authentication error has occurred the token supplied to the function is invalid".

Image
an authentication error has occurred the token supplied to the function is invalid I have installed xrdp 0.9.8 at server side. Remote desktop connections are working fine when i am connect it from windows 8/10. but when i am trying to connect RDP from windows 7 it is showing error which is showing on left side. in xrdp 0.9.8 TLSv1.2 and TLSv1.3 is added by default. in older version of windows system TLSv1.3 was not supported. thats why it is not connecting with xrdp server. To resolve this issue from server side follow the steps below. 1. Login to xrdp server. 2. navigate to xrdp configuration file location, $cd /etc/xrdp $vim xrdp.ini replace ssl_protocols=TLSv1.2, TLSv1.3 with ssl_protocols=TLSv1, TLSv1.1 3. Restart xrdp service. $ service xrdp restart
