01:40:02 <Kiriko> hey welcome back
01:40:15 <Kiriko> and you know you are just in time
01:40:19 <ZachThibeau> howdy John
01:41:39 <Kiriko> JohnTHller: here are some examples of ads that i made in flash http://www.mediafire.com/file/ss9ncun4ufdp1rd/Ad_Examples.7z
01:42:28 *** pa_0533 (62c41db7@gateway/web/freenode/ip.98.196.29.183) has joined #portableapps
01:44:34 <sar3th> interesting idea Kiriko, but somehow the edges of the icons look very strange here
01:44:48 <pa_0533> Sorry. Not sure how this works but I need some help getting my PortableApps to work right. Takes about 5 minutes to load and accesses the floppy drive so much, it sounds like it's reading off the floppy...but it's not; it's on my flashdrive. Help?
01:46:21 <sar3th> hi pa_0533 - so you are launching portableapps from your flash drive, but it takes a long time to load up and you noticed that during that time your floppy disc drive is active, is that correct?
01:46:32 <pa_0533> Yes
01:47:39 <sar3th> that's very strange, i never heard of such behaviour...which version of the portableapps platform are you using? look under help->about if you don't know
01:47:55 <pa_0533> I just downloaded it
01:48:25 <ZachThibeau> just tell us please, we have a beta out as well, so if you can tell us the version you are using that will help us
01:48:28 <ZachThibeau> help you
01:48:29 <pa_0533> I don't have it up and running...it will take 5 minutes but it's the version available to download now.
01:49:11 <pa_0533> ok. i'll let you know in a few...when it loads
01:49:19 *** alyx (~alyx@opennic/dabomb69) has joined #portableapps
01:50:33 <Kiriko> pa_0533: Did you download one of the Suite or just the platform?
01:51:20 <pa_0533> i did a 'properties' and 'product version' on draw and it said 1.4.0.0. I don't know if that helps but program still loading.
01:51:36 <JohnTHaller> Ah, it's a specific program then. LibreOffice did you mean?
01:53:24 <pa_0533> No. I downloaded the suite. When installing to the flashdrive, it made the 7 separate executables, one of which is draw...and one is the general one that shows the interface that lists all the apps to pick from.
01:54:48 <JohnTHaller> Is this an older PC with a USB 1.1 port only? And running XP with recent patches (one of which introduces a bug where the OS doesn't properly know when the floppy is empty)
01:56:11 <pa_0533> calc just finished loading. It says 3.2.0 and on the next line OOO320m12 (Build:9483)
01:57:18 <pa_0533> I'm running a Dell experion running (don't laugh) Win2000
01:57:32 <JohnTHaller> Right. OpenOffice.org is the biggest app we make (well it was until LibreOffice). If you have a slower flash drive, it will take a long time to load (typically 60 seconds on avg drives).
01:57:55 <JohnTHaller> Hmm, I wonder if that broken XP patch was put out for 2000. No, wait, I don;t think 2000 gets patches anymore.
01:58:19 <JohnTHaller> Do you know if your USB ports are 2.0 or 1.1?
01:58:30 <pa_0533> I don't know
01:58:38 <pa_0533> I'll look around
01:59:01 <JohnTHaller> Do you know your computer's model #?
02:01:31 <pa_0533> give me a minute...something like experion 150 something...i'll try to get the rest if that's not enough..PIII,1GHz,256Mb,10GbHDD
02:03:24 <JohnTHaller> I think you mean Inspiron. And the model number will help determine the USB port speed.
02:04:03 <Gizmokid2005> chances are if those are the specs of the machine, you have USB 1.1.
02:04:25 <Gizmokid2005> esp with a P3
02:04:29 <JohnTHaller> And I think it may be an Inspiron 5000
02:04:30 <pa_0533> Dell™ OptiPlex™ GX150
02:05:23 <JohnTHaller> Yeah, it's USB 1.1
02:06:20 <JohnTHaller> USB 1.1 is 1/40th the speed of 2.0 and pretty outdated now, so portable software is gonna be pretty slow on it. You can still run certain apps, though. I'd recommend AbiWord for your word processor over OpenOffice.org.
02:06:49 <JohnTHaller> It looks like the current AbiWord release still works with Win2K as well.
02:07:14 <JohnTHaller> I must run for now, but the other devs can continue to assist if you have additional questions :)
02:07:16 *** JohnTHaller has parted #portableapps (None)
02:08:22 <pa_0533> Thanks for your help. Other devs, could any of the slowness be because i installed OO on a little giveaway 2GB flashdrive?
02:09:21 <pa_0533> nothing else i've connected via usb has caused any problems including a modern printer and a usb speaker set
02:11:12 <pa_0533> Should I try a different flashdrive or is the givey flashdrive fast enough?
02:11:51 <Kiriko> your flash drive is fine what is not fine the usb ports on the computer that you are using it on
02:12:58 <Kiriko> that computers usb port are not fast enough for the more updated flash drive that you wich uses usb 2.0 and you computer uses usb ports that are 1.1 wich are slower
02:13:28 <pa_0533> OK, thanks. Please humor me for this one last dumb question: does it make sense that the printer and speakers didn't show it's slowness?
02:14:08 <Kiriko> there is no dumb question
02:14:30 <Kiriko> did you get that printer at the same time as the computer?
02:14:48 <pa_0533> no. It's a modern Canon
02:15:10 <Kiriko> ok then that means that it has support for win2000
02:15:24 <pa_0533> Are we absolutely sure that this pc has usb 1.1?
02:17:41 *** superboyian has quit (Quit: Leaving)
02:18:49 <Kiriko> well from the specs that you gavce us and from what we found on dells website about this model, it says that it has usb ports version 1.1
02:26:58 <pa_0533> wow. 40x! Ugh! Thanks for your help, guys. I'll leave you to help someone else now. Thanks again.
02:27:04 <pa_0533> bye

23:16:34 <sar3th> bugtracker, nice
23:17:01 <JohnTHaller> It's a simple one for now (based on forum posts) but after the Drupal 7 upgrade, we're gonna have a proper Issues tracker

23:32:59 <Kiriko> JohnTHaller: hey do you think that we can use this in PA.c or something similar? http://www.hexagora.com/hexbox/
23:33:55 <JohnTHaller> We already use Lightbox. Same kinda thing.
23:34:37 <Kiriko> ah ok, dose it work with videos as well? just wondering! :)
23:35:30 <JohnTHaller> I believe so yes. It's just a CSS/JS thing, so it should work with just about anything
23:35:48 <Kiriko> cool! :0
