14:59:03 <pa_0430> Hello
14:59:32 <pa_0430> hello
14:59:39 <Gizmokid2005> hello pa_0430
14:59:48 <pa_0430> how are you
14:59:55 <Gizmokid2005> Good, yourself?
15:00:01 <pa_0430> i am having issues with a poratable version
15:00:10 <pa_0430> can you assist ?
15:00:20 <Gizmokid2005> possibly. What's the issue?
15:00:31 <pa_0430> its is related to the java update that was release
15:01:20 <pa_0430> do you have the release of the jPortable 51 ??
15:03:07 <pa_0430> hello
15:03:20 <Gizmokid2005> I'm not positive of the update version
15:03:25 <Gizmokid2005> but I do have jPortable
15:03:27 <Gizmokid2005> keep going
15:04:36 <pa_0430> We are having the same issues starting yesterday when java released 51
15:04:47 <pa_0430> We are running firefox portalbe 25.0.1
15:04:55 <pa_0430> Everything was working fine,,,,,,, do you know what happened??
15:05:10 <Gizmokid2005> FirefoxPortable doesn't use the portable java
15:06:00 <Gizmokid2005> as it were, jPortable is currently still on 1.7U45, not 1.7U51
15:06:09 <pa_0430> right
15:06:27 <pa_0430> i guess i am looking for 1.7U51
15:06:44 <Gizmokid2005> It hasn't been portably released by PortableApps yes.
15:07:06 <pa_0430> hmmm is there a time frame
15:07:33 <Gizmokid2005> Not that I am aware of. Typically it doesn't take too long, but the developer has had some personal issues he's had to deal with
15:07:37 <Gizmokid2005> so things may be slightly delayed
15:08:24 <pa_0430> ok
15:08:39 <pa_0430> do you know how to fix it in the meantime
15:08:53 <Gizmokid2005> I can't say I'm aware of any issues.
15:09:11 <pa_0430> java keeps trying to update our portable version with 51 and its not working
15:09:15 <Gizmokid2005> my machine is still on update 45 as well
15:09:24 <Gizmokid2005> java shouldn't be trying to auto-update the portable copy...
15:09:33 <pa_0430> right but it is
15:09:50 <pa_0430> i have multiple users with the issue
15:09:58 <pa_0430> it state the following message
15:10:09 <Gizmokid2005> well, portable java doesn't have the updater...
15:10:25 <Gizmokid2005> So it shouldn't be trying to auto-update unless someone tried to force the local install to do that.
15:10:35 <pa_0430> java is looking for an update do you wish to contine
15:10:40 <pa_0430> then we get three option
15:10:42 <pa_0430> continue
15:10:43 <Gizmokid2005> where are you seeing that?
15:10:44 <pa_0430> block
15:10:45 <pa_0430> later
15:11:31 <pa_0430> this happens when we lauch our firefox portable version
15:11:48 <pa_0430> https://adpeet2.adp.com/15zw5p/navigator/logon
15:11:51 <Gizmokid2005> Can you take a screenshot or something?

15:14:00 <Gizmokid2005> my network isn't allowing the connection
15:14:06 <pa_0430> damm
15:14:08 <Gizmokid2005> can you just share a screenshot of the window you're seeing?
15:14:14 <pa_0430> sure
15:14:34 <pa_0430> do you use microsoft lync ?
15:14:39 <Gizmokid2005> no
15:15:34 <pa_0430> how can i send over the screen shot?
15:15:45 <Gizmokid2005> upload it to a sharing service such as imgur or dropbox
15:15:56 <pa_0430> ok
15:18:20 <pa_0430> can we contact him via phone
15:18:33 <Gizmokid2005> no
15:19:17 <pa_0430> We have downloaded the latest 26 version of firefox and a fresh version of the jportable 745
15:19:23 <pa_0430> Out of the box, right off the site
15:19:37 <pa_0430> place the jportable in the commonn files directory
15:19:48 <Gizmokid2005> which commonfiles directory?
15:20:01 <pa_0430> open firefox and go to www.java.com/verify and it will NOT load the java applet
15:20:11 <pa_0430> You can try itself
15:20:16 <pa_0430> yourself
15:20:18 <Gizmokid2005> right, jPortable is *NOT* designed to run with Firefox.
15:20:20 <Gizmokid2005> at all.
15:20:22 <Gizmokid2005> plain and simple
15:20:26 <Gizmokid2005> you will NEED to have a local java install
15:23:16 <pa_0430> Java Runtime Environment - To use Java apps with Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition, just install jPortable alongside. If Firefox Portable is in X:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable, jPortable should install to X:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\Java. The Firefox Portable launcher will automatically detect and configure the Java plugin for use.
15:23:27 <pa_0430> This is right on the page for plugins for firefox?
15:25:35 <Gizmokid2005> pa_0430: did you manually copy jPortable into the commonfiles directory?
15:25:38 <Gizmokid2005> and which one did you put it in?
15:25:42 <pa_0430> yes
15:25:50 <pa_0430> this is from John T. Haller
15:25:59 <pa_0430> 51 came out yesterday and fixes a security vulnerability, so Chrome and Firefox (rightly) block access to 50 and earlier. jPortable 51 will be released shortly.
15:26:24 <pa_0430> This was all working fine until 51 came out. DID not upgrade or change a thing on the portable app
15:27:00 <Gizmokid2005> what's from John Haller?
15:27:10 <pa_0430> 51 came out yesterday and fixes a security vulnerability, so Chrome and Firefox (rightly) block access to 50 and earlier. jPortable 51 will be released shortly.
15:27:12 <pa_0430> that
15:27:18 <Gizmokid2005> from where?
15:27:24 <pa_0430> Forum
15:27:31 <pa_0430> http://portableapps.com/news/2013-10-18--jportable-7-update-45-released
15:27:39 <pa_0430> Another user asked the same question last evening
15:28:24 <Gizmokid2005> pa_0430: do you see anything like this in firefox saying it blocks java? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-enable-java-if-its-been-blocked
15:32:20 <Gizmokid2005> Since my machine has java installed local (update 45) firefox is working fine. I'm going to try in a VM right now.
15:32:50 <Gizmokid2005> pa_0430: you're talking about this popup, correct? http://i.imgur.com/PgTtjpj.png
15:41:42 <Gizmokid2005> pa_0430: ?
16:05:35 <Gizmokid2005> pa_0430: I also confirmed with an installation appriopriate to what the FirefoxPortable Plugins states, Java does work just fine with 1.7U45 without issues.

20:43:42 <GizmoBot> pa_0936: Welcome to the PortableApps.com official chatroom. Ask your question and someone should be able to help you shortly. If you still don't get an answer, try posting on the forums: http://portableapps.com/forums
20:44:27 <pa_0936> i was wondering if you can use portable apps with a chromebook?
20:52:56 <Gizmokid2005> pa_0936: unfortunately, no.
20:53:00 <Gizmokid2005> A chromebook doesn't run windows.
20:54:41 <pa_0936> will they ever make one that will?
20:54:47 <Gizmokid2005> unlikely.
20:55:12 <Gizmokid2005> Chromebooks are built the way they are and are as cheap as they are because the operating system essentially is just a web browser.
