00:59:06 <pa_8813> can anyone advise if i can use portable apps from my usb drive on a linux machine (specifically ubuntu 12.x)?
01:00:22 <gluxon> pa_8813: Yes, but you need the Wine compatibility layer installed for it to work.
01:00:49 <gluxon> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_%28software%29
01:01:08 <gluxon> You can install Wine in Ubuntu 12.XX in the Ubuntu Software Center.
01:01:17 <pa_8813> yes, I have wine installed...
01:01:21 <gluxon> Additionally, not all of our apps work with Wine.
01:01:42 <gluxon> Oh, then is there a problem running it?
01:01:44 <pa_8813> i don't always have much luck with getting programs to run with wine, but i have gotten a couple
01:02:35 <pa_8813> i haven't tried yet. just installed to my device about 10 minutes ago and haven't used portableapps for a few years... just got ubuntu up and running too about a month ago
01:03:03 <gluxon> Most of the apps we list here do support Wine.
01:03:35 <pa_8813> ok. thanks much! i'll give it a shot and if it doesn't work, i'll prolly be back for more advise...
01:03:36 <pa_8813> thanks
01:03:46 <gluxon> No problem. :)

02:46:28 <GordCaswell> Hello, pa_6056. How can we help you?
02:47:15 <pa_6056> was on a little bit ago and asked about portable apps in ubuntu... can launch everything just fine with wine, but chrome portable doesn't display anything in the actual browser. it is just a gray area...
02:47:18 <pa_6056> any ideas?
02:47:37 <GordCaswell> hang on, i think this has been reported before. Give me a minute
02:47:44 <pa_6056> sure
02:51:58 <GordCaswell> Ok, I can't find the link that says so, but it looks like Chrome doesn't run under wine, even if you use the "normal" windows version
02:53:10 <pa_6056> ok. no big deal i have chrome for linux on my HDD... just trying to get things set up... thanks
02:53:18 <GordCaswell> you're welcome

23:07:51 <keyzs> hello sirs
23:08:10 <keyzs> does firefox 15.0.1 portable have this menu? http://support.mozilla.org/media/uploads/gallery/images/2012-02-24-10-35-53-97ff60.png
23:08:38 <keyzs> i cant have chrome listed on firefox portable and i always had it
23:08:44 <keyzs> cant figure why
23:19:16 <GordCaswell> That's because Firefox figures out where to import from based on the registry. Are you trying to import from Chrome installed to the hard drive?
23:23:47 *** GordCaswell has quit (Quit: Leaving)
23:32:13 <keyzs> im opening firefox and have chrome portable and firefox portable
23:32:28 <keyzs> and i use firefox import bookmarks

23:32:52 <keyzs> do i need it instaled?
23:34:02 <keyzs> *installed
23:38:00 <keyzs> firefox always showed like this previosly
