17:04:30 <MaienM> hello pa_8970, can we help you with anything?
17:04:35 <pa_8970> hi!
17:04:46 <pa_8970> it's my first visit to the portble apps site
17:04:51 <pa_8970> great stuff!
17:05:00 <MaienM> yep, its awesome :D
17:05:01 <pa_8970> good work guys
17:05:12 <pa_8970> I tried portable VLC
17:05:15 <pa_8970> awesome
17:05:41 <pa_8970> however, afew download links seem broken, like dosbox for example...
17:05:57 <MaienM> hmm, lemme try
17:07:36 <MaienM> looks like sourceforge (our download host) is having issues again....
17:07:43 <pa_8970> so I will be back often to check out what you offer, I think what you are doing is fantastic
17:07:51 <pa_8970> don'T worry about sourceforge
17:08:02 <pa_8970> it will probably ba back in no time
17:08:03 <pa_8970> :)
17:08:12 <MaienM> k :)
17:08:13 <pa_8970> thank you!

18:20:29 <pa_7437> Hello
18:20:49 <pa_7437> Could any body possibly help me?
18:21:08 <Gizmokid2005> pa_7437: what do you need help with?
18:21:22 <Gizmokid2005> ask your question and someone will be along to help if they can.
18:21:25 <pa_7437> Ah
18:21:53 <pa_7437> Well Ive just bought a mini asus laptop. and i was wondering if portable apps is supported by linux?
18:21:54 <Gizmokid2005> pa_7437: if Wine is installed, ys.
18:21:56 <Gizmokid2005> *yes
18:22:03 <pa_7437> Hm
18:22:06 <pa_7437> may i ask what wine is :)?
18:22:46 <Gizmokid2005> pa_7437: http://www.winehq.org/ <-- there you are
18:22:55 <Gizmokid2005> it's basically windows emulation for a linux os
18:23:01 <pa_7437> ohh awesome
18:23:05 <Gizmokid2005> yep
18:23:16 <pa_7437> Will this allow me to run windows software?
18:23:22 <Gizmokid2005> pa_7437: most
18:23:59 <Gizmokid2005> like any software, it's not perfect, but it should run most (if not all) of the software we release
18:24:07 <pa_7437> Hm, So.. Download it onto my Asus eee pc and run the wine installation?
18:24:32 <Gizmokid2005> Yeah, installing/configuring wine should be directed at the wine FAQ/users, but it's fairly straightforward
18:24:43 <pa_7437> Also i have no idea what linux my laptop is running on :/
18:25:20 <pa_7437> Sorry to bother you with these small questions but i have not a clue :)
18:25:51 <Gizmokid2005> pa_7437: I can't help you there either, sorry :(
18:25:58 <pa_7437> :<
18:26:24 <pa_7437> I hear it's Xandros or somthing or other... but there's is no option on wine for that one so it must be wrong
18:26:46 <Gizmokid2005> it's possible that's what it is, but I"m not a linux afficiando, so I can't help all that much there, sorry :(
18:27:33 <pa_7437> Well Thanks for your help you've been very very helpfull :)
18:28:03 <MaienM> pa_7437: http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Xandros
18:28:30 <pa_7437> o:
18:28:34 <Gizmokid2005> pa_7437: there you are, follow what MaienM posted :)

23:10:54 <ChrisMorgan> And also send off Telugu, Hindi and Bengali. I might get Bengali at least done while we're in India...
23:11:08 <Simeon> dunno :)
23:11:29 <ChrisMorgan> I'm "hangin' 'round watin'" for the universal PortableApps.com Launcher
23:11:34 <Simeon> Is self-promotion allowed here? http://portableapps.com/node/21241
23:11:45 <ChrisMorgan> Simeon: let me decide...
23:11:55 <ChrisMorgan> Nah :P
23:11:58 <Gizmokid2005> Simeon: what self-promotion?
23:11:59 <Gizmokid2005> :P
23:11:59 <ChrisMorgan> delete...
23:12:00 <ChrisMorgan> :P
23:12:17 <Simeon> I just finished another App
23:12:25 <Simeon> hi GizmoKid!
23:12:33 <ChrisMorgan> Simeon: you should merely announce a release: "RELEASE: Big Solitaires 1.4 Development Test 1 - http://portableapps.com/node/21241 "
23:12:38 <Gizmokid2005> hello Simeon :0
23:12:38 <Gizmokid2005> *:)
23:13:57 <ChrisMorgan> Simeon: I personally reckon that for a game you'd be safe to redirect USERPROFILE and APPDATA (it won't be spawning processes which could be messed up by that)
23:15:00 <ChrisMorgan> Looks like they "should" be coming up to a new release soon.
23:15:35 <Simeon> I think it works without yelling RELEASE at everyone...
23:15:39 <ChrisMorgan> I suggest that you patch it like I did Inkscape so that it'll accept an alternative environment variable override - "FLIGHTGEAR_PORTABLE_SETTINGS_DIRECTORY"
23:15:53 <ChrisMorgan> Simeon: RELEASE: ... is how John does it
23:15:57 <Simeon> ok
23:16:00 <MaienM> Simeon: yelling RELEASE is fun though :P
23:16:20 <Simeon> better?
23:16:35 <ChrisMorgan> It was a one-line job with Inkscape (though when the patch was applied the guy turned it into four or five lines for some crazy and pointless reason)
23:17:00 <Simeon> Ill take a look at inkscape
23:17:08 <ChrisMorgan> Don't bother really
23:17:20 <ChrisMorgan> But it's in inskcape.cpp somewhere around line 1300
23:17:33 <ChrisMorgan> It's a GTK application so it uses GTK environment getting calls
23:17:44 <Simeon> so I have to recompile?
23:17:55 <Simeon> im a real greenhorn at that!
23:18:05 <ChrisMorgan> Get them to make a new release after you've fixed it up :P
23:18:11 <Simeon> haha
23:18:52 <Simeon> It seems like I am doing nothing but games at portableapps.com :)
23:19:02 <ChrisMorgan> Never mind
23:20:04 <Simeon> there was a review (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-portable-apps-games-for-your-usb-stick-to-kill-some-time/) and 2 out of 5 were "mine". Weird feeling :)
23:20:11 <ChrisMorgan> :-)
23:20:20 <ChrisMorgan> What's the directory name it stores
23:20:26 <ChrisMorgan> 'em in in appdata?
23:20:35 <ChrisMorgan> Helps with a quick Google Code Search
23:20:57 <sar3th> the download is slow :(
23:21:09 <Simeon> I was in theis irc channel and they said: http://cvs.flightgear.org/viewvc/source/src/Main/fg_init.cxx?annotate=1.238
23:21:27 <ChrisMorgan> Just the file I was looking at :-)
23:21:30 <Simeon> line 585
23:21:37 <ChrisMorgan> Exactly so :-)
23:22:12 <Simeon> but it didnt help me a lot
23:22:37 <sar3th> nice work on Big Solitaires 3D Simeon :D
23:22:45 <Simeon> thanks
23:23:01 <Simeon> Found it some time ago and gave it a shot today.
23:23:13 <ChrisMorgan> Simeon: try setting the environment variable FG_HOME to Data\settinsg
23:23:18 <ChrisMorgan> I think that that should work, overriding it
23:24:51 <Simeon> Chris: What I did was : System::Call 'Kernel32::SetEnvironmentVariableA(t, t) i("FG_HOME", "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY").r0'
23:24:51 <Simeon> System::Call 'Kernel32::SetEnvironmentVariableA(t, t) i("FG_ROOT", "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\data").r0'
23:24:51 <Simeon> System::Call 'Kernel32::SetEnvironmentVariableA(t, t) i("FG_SCENERY", "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\data\scenery").r0'
23:24:51 <Simeon> System::Call 'Kernel32::SetEnvironmentVariableA(t, t) i("APPDATA", "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY").r0'
23:25:13 <Simeon> still it leaves stuff in APPDATA...
23:25:14 <ChrisMorgan> Add on FG_HOME to $SETTINGSDIRECTORY
23:25:47 <Simeon> the help manual said it should be PROGRAM and not settings - but Ill try it tomorrow or so.
23:26:06 <ChrisMorgan> FG_HOME is an override for APPDATA
23:26:24 <ChrisMorgan> const char *fg_home = getenv("FG_HOME");
23:26:24 <ChrisMorgan> if (fg_home)
23:26:24 <ChrisMorgan> config = fg_home;
23:26:33 <Simeon> really? ok
23:27:20 <ChrisMorgan> Yes: take a look at that file; first it tries APPDATA on Windows and ~ on everything else, then it checks for FG_HOME and uses that to override the path completely.
23:27:43 <Simeon> thanks - that might solve my problem!
23:29:39 * Simeon is happy! I just love communities!
23:31:23 *** sar3th is now known as sar3th|away
23:31:46 <Simeon> See ya guys - gotta go and get some sleep. Cant wait to wake up and try whatever it is John posted :)
23:32:58 <Chazz> Bye Simeon
23:33:18 *** Simeon has parted #portableapps ()
23:33:19 <ChrisMorgan> (Also I'm not convinced that FG_ROOT should be in App, it contains preferences.xml which is global, and something to do with saved aircraft)
23:33:28 <ChrisMorgan> ...bye :P
23:34:32 <ChrisMorgan> Uh oh... I think Simeon misunderstood me. I meant saying RELEASE: ... in here, not in the thread :/
23:34:44 <ChrisMorgan> Shall I edit it back for him?
23:35:04 <Chazz> lol
