00:01:43 <rcmaehl> Anyone here use KidSafe
00:02:38 *** JohnTHaller (~JohnTHall@cpe-67-247-35-38.nyc.res.rr.com) has joined #portableapps
00:02:46 <rcmaehl> b/c I have a MAJOR annoucement about a CRITIAL bug that should be fixed by tomorrow or the day after
00:03:44 <JohnTHaller> huh?
00:03:54 <rcmaehl> JohnTHaller: about kidsafe
00:04:10 <rcmaehl> and I know some PA users use it
00:07:49 <JohnTHaller> why is the bug so critical?
00:09:04 <rcmaehl> It can basically make it where the user can do anything because the options window gets put behind the kidsafe window and the user can't do anything because the options menu disables everything except for itself
00:09:15 <rcmaehl> which the user can't get to
00:14:51 <ZachThibeau> howdy JohnTHaller

00:32:32 <JohnTHaller> rcmaehl: Why would the options window come up when the kidsafe window is up?
00:37:17 <rcmaehl> As in when you try and go to the options menu/window it gets shoved/moved behind kidsafe which has all its menus and fields disabled while the options menu/window is open
00:38:10 <JohnTHaller> but you can right-click on the taskbar and kill or close it, right?
00:38:17 <rcmaehl> nope
00:38:43 <rcmaehl> that's disabled while kidsafe is ontop
00:40:29 <JohnTHaller> kidsafe is a bit of a mess and basically pre-alpha anyway
00:41:26 <rcmaehl> True
00:41:56 <JohnTHaller> it scares the crap out of kaspersky (since it tries to hook all running processes)
00:42:17 <rcmaehl> rofl
00:42:18 <sar3th> oh wow :/
00:42:30 <rcmaehl> With having an average of 25 bug reports a day sent to my email address alone, and 24 of them being conflicts with other programs
00:42:55 <JohnTHaller> Yeah? Hmm. I think I'll put a note in the thread on PA.c
00:44:21 <gluxon1> rcmaehl: Why not wait for CF to get back?

00:45:03 <rcmaehl> B/c he put me incharge until he gets back in May/Early june
00:45:17 <JohnTHaller> http://portableapps.com/node/22301
00:46:03 <JohnTHaller> note added
00:46:04 <gluxon> JohnTHaller: Nice notice. :)
00:46:08 <rcmaehl> thanks
00:46:46 <JohnTHaller> Considering that most test users will just DL and run it (and freak out as it starts hiding stuff like the Win7 taskbar but nothing else on my PC), I think the notice is warranted in this instance.
00:47:17 <JohnTHaller> I had to kill the process after Kaspersky blocked it from hooking and then kill and manually re-run explorer.exe
00:47:31 <sar3th> wow, that's serious problems :/
00:47:40 <sar3th> on windows xp with avira free, it works fine
00:48:34 <rcmaehl> Scares Avast to heck and back occasionally when it blocks programs from ending it
00:49:55 <rcmaehl> Then again I do have hueristics on MAX
00:50:58 <ZachThibeau> hueristic scanners generally fail quite often imho
00:51:50 <rcmaehl> IMHO most people don't know what IMHO means
00:52:30 <sar3th> i agree ZachThibeau
00:52:50 <JohnTHaller> alright, gnight all... early video game night
00:53:02 <rcmaehl> O_o
00:53:14 <rcmaehl> You play video games still?
00:53:23 <ZachThibeau> yeah I should follow suite and play some Half Life
00:53:46 <sar3th> good night JohnTHaller, enjoy :)
00:54:02 <JohnTHaller> yeah. mass effect. fallout. half-life, halo (single, not multi)
00:54:12 <rcmaehl> Wow
00:54:22 <JohnTHaller> and I am out. gnight all

01:11:41 <computerfreaker> hey guys, I was just looking over the logs & saw some ... disturbing things happening. Anybody want to give me some input? (completely honest, don't worry about hurting my feelings)
01:11:55 <ChrisMorgan> ?
01:12:21 <computerfreaker> rcmaehl, John, and a few others were talking about KidSafe
01:13:04 <computerfreaker> and I saw some disturbing things said. I'm not upset, but I am worried.

01:14:20 <ChrisMorgan> computerfreaker: John talking about it? rcmaehl mentioned one thing and I responded (reckoning your way of doing it was better), I can't see anything else?
01:14:32 <computerfreaker> look in today's log, http://patrickpatience.com/nascent-project/portableapps/irc/logs/?t=2010-04-14
01:14:54 <ChrisMorgan> Whoops, I was only looking up to yesterday's

01:16:33 <ChrisMorgan> I can't comment on any of it.

01:28:43 <ChrisMorgan> Hello, pa_9150! Can we help you with anything?
01:29:15 <pa_9150> hey! is there way to migrate the data from a portable application to the standard install?
01:29:29 <ChrisMorgan> pa_9150: which application are you wanting to do it with?
01:29:42 <pa_9150> Pidgin and Thunderbird
01:29:42 <ChrisMorgan> How to do it depends on the application.
01:29:44 <pa_9150> okay
01:30:17 <ChrisMorgan> Pidgin: do http://portableapps.com/support/pidgin_portable#local_settings in reverse

01:30:29 <ChrisMorgan> Thunderbird: do http://portableapps.com/support/thunderbird_portable#local_profile in reverse
01:30:48 <pa_9150> so, just copy the portable data files to the local folder?
01:30:48 *** mtthw92 has quit (Client Quit)
01:30:55 <ChrisMorgan> Yep.
01:31:01 <pa_9150> cool! thank you so much
01:31:03 <ChrisMorgan> With those ones at least.
01:31:33 <pa_9150> alrighty, I'll keep that in mind. good-evening
01:31:48 <ChrisMorgan> Still morning here in Melbourne, Australia :-)
01:31:49 *** pa_9150 has quit (Client Quit)
01:39:00 <ChrisMorgan> I think my maths lecturer enjoys writing assignments too much. Question 1: According to the "Flat Earth Club", Earth is a plane described by the equation x+y+z=18.
01:39:01 <ChrisMorgan> Also according to the Flat Earth Club, Earth will be destroyed on the day this assignment is due by an explosion that will spontaneously occur at the so-called "armageddon point" A = (1, 1, 1).
01:39:03 <ChrisMorgan> It so happens that Monash University (considered as a point) will be the first place on Earth that is destroyed by this explosion (how sad)...
01:41:20 <rcmaehl> ...
01:41:47 <ChrisMorgan> It gets slightly less depressing later on in the assignment :-)
01:42:20 <ChrisMorgan> Fortunately I can depend on this explosion destroying Monash before 5pm on the due date and so I will never need to hand it in.
01:42:41 <computerfreaker> lol
01:42:48 <computerfreaker> I wouldn't bank too heavily on that ;)
01:43:04 <ChrisMorgan> I wonder what he'll say to that.
01:43:30 <computerfreaker> probably sputter for a bit, then say "hand it in early then"
01:43:31 <computerfreaker> XD
01:43:42 <ChrisMorgan> I doubt he'll sputter at all.
01:44:42 <ChrisMorgan> How sad. Searching the manual online isn't working. http://portableapps.chrismorgan.info/portableapps/launcher/docs/search/?q=splash
01:46:30 <ChrisMorgan> Any of you got Firefox with Firebug handy? It logs to the console and I'd be interested to see what it's saying.
01:46:43 <computerfreaker> yep, I do.
01:46:48 <computerfreaker> Give me just a sec to load it up.
01:48:08 <computerfreaker> ChrisMorgan: ready. What do you want me to do?
01:48:30 <ChrisMorgan> Load that URL, and see what (if anything) shows in the Firebug console

01:49:18 <computerfreaker> 404 Not Found is the end result
01:49:26 <ChrisMorgan> Lemesee... it seems to be losing it's ../ with that. Possibly a bug with dirhtml
01:50:03 <ChrisMorgan> Hmm. Moving _sources inside the search directory has fixed it.
01:51:06 <ChrisMorgan> Bug in http://portableapps.chrismorgan.info/portableapps/launcher/docs/_static/searchtools.js - $.get('_sources/' + item[0] + '.txt', ... should use DOCUMENTATION_OPTIONS.URL_ROOT + '_sources/' ...
01:59:44 <rcmaehl> who wants to here the funniest computer story ever?

06:24:01 <Nightwalker> hello
06:24:13 <ChrisMorgan> Hello, Nightwalker, can we help you with anything?
06:24:19 <Nightwalker> yes
06:25:00 <Nightwalker> i have download miranda portable, but wenn i launch it and create a profile it crashs
06:25:19 <ChrisMorgan> Where have you installed it? (To what directory?)
06:25:29 <Nightwalker> my usb stick
06:25:36 <ChrisMorgan> What directory?
06:25:48 <Nightwalker> Miranda Portable
06:25:53 <ChrisMorgan> What directory?
06:26:00 <ChrisMorgan> X:\PortableApps\MirandaPortable?
06:26:21 <Nightwalker> X:\Miranda portable
06:27:32 <ChrisMorgan> Hmm... try renaming it to X:\MirandaPortable, delete the Data directory inside it and try running it again.
06:27:40 <Nightwalker> ok, i try
06:29:20 <Nightwalker> now it says i try to run it from a read only drive, but this isn´t a read only drive
06:29:47 <ChrisMorgan> Sounds to me like your disk is probably dying.
06:30:38 <Nightwalker> sounds not good
06:30:46 <ChrisMorgan> Definitely.
06:31:15 <ChrisMorgan> Try checking it for errors. Right click on the drive in My Computer, click on Properties, the Tools tab and then Check disk for errors
06:32:15 <Nightwalker> i can´t do that at school. the usb and the login use a Server. Could that be a problem?
06:32:33 <ChrisMorgan> You should be able to do basic error checking even as a restricted user.
06:33:06 <Nightwalker> i have no dircet access to the usb... there is an Linkt to the ubs drive only
06:33:25 <ChrisMorgan> To open the directory in Explorer?
06:33:31 <Nightwalker> yes
06:33:37 <ChrisMorgan> OK, open it that way.
06:33:48 <Nightwalker> ok
06:33:52 <ChrisMorgan> Then right click in the empty space and click Properties
06:34:13 <ChrisMorgan> Then the Tools tab and "Check Now..." for errors.
06:35:15 <Nightwalker> i dont have the tab... but i will check it wenn i´m at home
06:35:22 <ChrisMorgan> OK.
06:35:33 <ChrisMorgan> Have you got the PortableApps.com Platform 1.6?
06:35:43 <Nightwalker> no
06:36:18 <ChrisMorgan> Can you run cmd.exe? (Windows+R and type in cmd and press enter)
06:36:27 *** Spaceghost has quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds)
06:36:47 <Nightwalker> mom
06:37:18 <ChrisMorgan> If you can you can run "chkdsk X:" (where X is your USB disk's drive letter) to check for errors.
06:38:17 <Nightwalker> ok
06:38:19 <Nightwalker> i try
06:40:41 <Nightwalker> cmd can´t find the ubs drive....
06:41:12 <Nightwalker> but i have copy it to my own Data and now the app runs
06:41:19 <ChrisMorgan> When you double click on this shortcut to the USB drive, what does it show in the title bar and address bar?
06:41:36 <ChrisMorgan> It's probably easier to do it when you're at home.
06:41:49 <Nightwalker> \\tsclient\USB\sdc1
06:41:56 <Nightwalker> this is the usb drive
06:41:58 <ChrisMorgan> Ook. I see.
06:42:52 <ChrisMorgan> That would explain why Miranda won't work - that's a UNC (i.e. network) path, and lots of applications won't work from UNC paths. In our upcoming releases all apps will block it (and explain why to the user).

14:56:01 <computerfreaker> hey guys, everybody's been saying encryption w/o admin rights isn't possible; check this out, though: http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-file-encryption-utility.htm
14:56:31 <computerfreaker> SafeHouse Explorer apparently doesn't need admin rights, and has a portable version available; I haven't tried it, but it sounds good.

15:04:44 <gringoloco> It's getting really bad today ...
15:13:37 *** computerfreaker (~computerf@unaffiliated/computerfreaker) has joined #portableapps
15:13:37 <GizmoBot> computerfreaker is working on KidSafe and TopOCR, and would very much like to have folks test them and give feedback
15:15:42 <Gizmokid2005> computerfreaker: did you actually read the article you linked to?
15:15:47 <computerfreaker> yeah, I did.
15:15:52 <Gizmokid2005> that isn't portable encryption, and in fact, is inherently INsecure.
15:16:09 <computerfreaker> yes, I know it's got that security hole, but it's still way better than nothing.
15:16:11 <Gizmokid2005> The problem is, you cannot create files directly in the interface. That forces you to create unencrypted files outside the volume, and then copy them to the volume. Of course those unencrypted files still reside on your hard drive
15:16:28 <computerfreaker> unless you use the built-in wipe function, according to the article
15:17:26 <Gizmokid2005> right. Have you actually tested the fact that it doesn't require admin privvys?
15:17:46 <computerfreaker> nope, I mentioned I hadn't tried the app.
15:19:11 *** BjornH (~BjornH@81-235-164-62-no21.tbcn.telia.com) has joined #portableapps
15:21:59 <Gizmokid2005> do you have a link to the actual portable one?
15:22:18 <Gizmokid2005> they only have a U3 setup or a standard setup
15:22:19 <computerfreaker> yep, just a sec. btw, I'm trying it right now, and it looks good.
15:22:24 <computerfreaker> http://www.safehousesoftware.com/RunSafeHouseExplorer.aspx
15:24:15 <computerfreaker> the interface is a bit confusing; you have to drag-'n'-drop files into the secure volume.
15:24:24 <computerfreaker> but it's working, without admin rights.
15:24:29 *** GA (~90e63f38@gateway/web/freenode/x-uctixcnqvedexrxy) has joined #portableapps
15:26:15 <Gizmokid2005> hmm, seems to be working here as well
15:26:49 <computerfreaker> and I didn't do any kind of rigorous testing, but it looks like it doesn't leave anything behind - %APPDATA% is clean, and the Registry appears to be too.
15:27:08 <Gizmokid2005> unless you install the performance options
15:28:03 <computerfreaker> yeah. It's got a couple of different things it asks you to do that probably aren't "clean" at all - visit their website, probably using IE, and install some performance options (which really shouldn't be necessary at all; performance was good on my machine)
15:28:15 <computerfreaker> but as long as you say "no", it looks good.
15:28:28 <Gizmokid2005> it's not to actually increase performance
15:28:34 <Gizmokid2005> it's to integrate it into explorer/windows
15:30:03 <computerfreaker> shell extensions... Chris Morgan was talking about the possibility of eventually handling that kind of thing with PAL, so we could maybe do something with that anyway.
15:31:53 <ZachThibeau> howdy all
15:32:14 <computerfreaker> Hi ZachThibeau!
15:32:22 <computerfreaker> how's PChat coming?
15:32:50 <ZachThibeau> well I posted Dev test 3 of PChat 1.0.4 but no one has even downloaded it yet so I can't really say for sure :/
15:33:14 <computerfreaker> I'll go grab it quick, give me just a sec.
15:33:22 <computerfreaker> I hadn't noticed a new dev test; sorry about that.
15:33:31 <ZachThibeau> np
15:34:04 <ZachThibeau> I condensed the openssl library as 1 dll instead of 2 and I'm working to do the same with gtk eventually
15:36:01 <computerfreaker> download complete, now for a test.
15:36:32 <computerfreaker> gringoloco: you there?
15:37:21 <computerfreaker> ZachThibeau: I just started looking through your PAL setup, and I found some unnecessary files.
15:37:45 <computerfreaker> App\AppInfo\Launcher just needs splash.jpg and PChatPortable.ini; the other files in there aren't necessary.
15:37:57 <computerfreaker> and App\AppInfo doesn't need PChatPortable.ini.
15:38:32 <computerfreaker> brb; I'm going to sign off, then back on with 1.0.4.

15:42:09 <ZachThibeau> computerfreaker: there's a reason also those files are still there ;) it's my backup until the final release thats when I clean those small things up, personally I much prefer testing functionality :P
15:42:21 <computerfreaker> ok
15:42:27 <computerfreaker> yeah, I prefer testing functionality too.
15:44:10 <ZachThibeau> but yeah minissl so far looks stable :)
15:44:55 <computerfreaker> do you think 1.0.4 is stable enough for to start using it as my dedicated chat client? I'm still on 1.0.3 (public release) right now.
15:45:38 *** GA (~90e63f38@gateway/web/freenode/x-bivwlwoejmvvjrnb) has joined #portableapps
15:45:42 <ZachThibeau> yeah nothing major changed other than minissl and updating PChat to work with gtk 2.20
15:46:26 <computerfreaker> ok, I'll probably upgrade then.
15:47:15 <GA> hello - I'm new here
15:47:26 <computerfreaker> Hi GA! Need some help with anything?
15:47:31 <GA> I would like to report a possible infected file
15:47:34 <ZachThibeau> awesome post in the dev test forum post I setup computerfreaker about how it works so far too
15:47:38 <GA> downloaded from the portable apps web site
15:47:43 <computerfreaker> GA: what file?
15:48:03 <GA> ac_server.exe
15:48:03 <computerfreaker> ZachThibeau: will do.
15:48:12 <GA> in action cube
15:48:12 <computerfreaker> GA: what app is that file from?
15:48:31 <ZachThibeau> that's actually common, it's a false positive
15:48:32 <GA> assoultcube
15:48:38 <computerfreaker> what antivirus?
15:49:04 <GA> sorry about the type
15:49:04 <GA> assaultcube
15:49:11 <computerfreaker> no problem.
15:49:13 <GA> I would double check
15:49:21 <computerfreaker> what antivirus is giving you the warning?
15:49:24 <ZachThibeau> how I know is that the server exe just sets up a server connection for multiplayer games by using tcp/udp connections which will cause the scanner to flag it as such
15:49:28 <GA> just after I installed it
15:49:39 <GA> my security software threw errors
15:49:45 <computerfreaker> GA: what security software do you have?
15:50:06 <computerfreaker> ZachThibeau: it probably (almost certainly) is a false positive, but it's worth looking into just in case.
15:50:37 <GA> that should be an easy question
15:50:43 <GA> but here's the situation
15:51:14 <ZachThibeau> computerfreaker: in most cases yes but I play assault cube quite often and had avg claim it's infected but my virustotal.com scan shows the majority of the scanners classify that it's clean
15:51:20 * Mir drags computerfreaker into -ot kicking and screaming
15:52:25 <GA> I installed the portable apps on a thund drive (naturally)
15:52:26 <GA> and ran them on my company's laptop
15:52:38 <GA> just after I installed and used assaultcube
15:52:38 <GA> it threw the error
15:52:38 <GA> I needed to get the laptop replaced anyway
15:53:46 <GA> so I am now using a different computer
15:54:02 <GA> the security software is Symantic
15:54:18 <GA> I also ran the executable against Virustotal this morning
15:54:34 <GA> and it reported the PAK_Generic.001
15:54:47 <computerfreaker> yep, that's probably a false positive.
15:55:04 <Gizmokid2005> GA: do you have a link to the virustotal results?
15:56:40 <GA> I will run another report now
15:57:12 <GA> http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/ea5d1309a19764f31a19f7a3e75365afbb5d015e36cdb5cad97dec6b0b6681e6-1271256292
15:57:30 <computerfreaker> yep, false positive.
15:57:46 <Gizmokid2005> yeah, with just 1 result GA, it's absolutely a false positive.
15:58:03 <computerfreaker> Trend Micro apparently doesn't like the fact that AssaultCube is compressed with UPX.
15:58:15 <GA> I would like to believe that
15:58:31 <GA> but it seems too much for a coincidence
15:58:40 <Gizmokid2005> what is too much?
15:58:40 <GA> that right after I played the game for the first time
15:58:50 <GA> symantic errored out
15:59:20 <computerfreaker> GA: Symantec's heuristics are absolutely a joke. They flag almost everything as "Suspicious.Insight".
15:59:25 <Gizmokid2005> its definitely a false positive GA.
15:59:32 <Gizmokid2005> I've got it on my machine, and have for a while, still no errors here.
15:59:57 <GA> OK - I appreciate the advice
15:59:59 <GA> thanks
16:00:07 <computerfreaker> no problem!

16:08:08 <gringoloco> Hi computerfreaker,..
16:08:14 <computerfreaker> Hi gringoloco!
16:08:33 <computerfreaker> You wanted to talk to me about some Registry problems?
16:08:48 <gringoloco> I read about your HKLM\Classes problem with Real Studio
16:09:26 <gringoloco> I've got the same issue with Winamp, have you thought about a solution
16:09:40 <gringoloco> HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{46986115-84D6-459c-8F95-52DD653E532E}
16:10:17 <computerfreaker> I ended up having PAL backup & restore the classes, via the RegistryKeys section.
16:10:34 <computerfreaker> doesn't always work, but it's the best solution I came up with.
16:11:57 <gringoloco> But do you have any idea if the CLSID\ '*ID*' is the same for all users?
16:13:06 <computerfreaker> I'm pretty sure it is.
16:13:35 <gringoloco> Did you test it on different systems?
16:14:52 <computerfreaker> I've tested it on my parents' home PC and my laptop, and it worked fairly well on both.
16:16:34 <gringoloco> Same windows OS ?
16:16:58 <computerfreaker> XP Home SP3 for my parents' computer, XP Pro SP3 for my laptop.

18:12:00 <ZachThibeau> well some of the translation dates I've seen are fairly old so I rather make sure the syntax are correct as well
18:14:03 <JohnTHaller> search adn replace first, then worry about updates. updates can always happen in 104. having one that'll actually switch langs is probably more important... soon
