EyeOS Portable Development Test 2
Submitted by Bobert on July 7, 2008 - 2:00pm

Application: EyeOS
Category: Operating systems
Description: EyeOS is an awesome, web-based, open source operating system. It comes with a basic word processor and spreadsheet, as well as a presentation viewer ,several games, and many other fantastic features.
Note: EyeOS works best in Firefox, preferably v. 3, or else you will not be able to use many of the effects.

To quit the EyeOS server, just double-click the tray icon.

This is my first portable app ever, so I would like feedback, positive or negative.

I have tested it on XP service pack 2 in a limited account, worked fine. Even though a box may pop up saying some features have been disabled and you need to unblock the program, it still works fine.

Download EyeOS Portable Pre-Release 1 [4.68MB download / 5.4MB installed]

(MD5: c052b761f0e1bd3f2cb685a7b58ce451)

Release Notes:

Development Test 2 (2009-07-07):
Fixed a couple bugs where apache crashed

Development Test 1 (2008-07-1): Initial release

( categories:

Beta Testing

)

Nice...

digitxp - July 1, 2008 - 4:25pm

Here, I'll give out some pointers:

Pre-Releases are for apps that have been qualified (and older apps). Now Development Tests are used in place of Pre-Releases in Beta Tests.

For release notes, you say stuff like:

Development Test 2: Fixed this, use this thingy to clean up the stuff that was left behind with DevTest 1.
Development Test 1: Initial Release

In the naming of the installer, it should be EyeOS_Portable_0.8.1_Development_Test_1_en-us.paf.ext

I'll add more when I get time, and nice job !

Thanks for the pointers. Like I said, I don't know much about this, and I'm not afraid to admit it!

Okay, more pointers time:

digitxp - July 2, 2008 - 7:17am

(Just a hint: you can do <a href="http://website.com">Link</a< to make a link.)
In appinfo.ini, the publisher is The EyeOS Project 2008 and PortableApps.com
Don't forget to compress the files under App using the PortableApps.com Compactor
Just an opinion, I think the EyeOS files should be kept in Data by: When installed, the eyeos files (under htdocs) are kept under EyeOSPortable\App\DefaultData\Settings\htdocs and in the launcher it checks if Data\Settings exists and if it doesn't, it creates the directory and then copies over the default installation. If it does, then it just keeps going on. (That way it can be backed up with the Backup Util.)
The code for the launcher isn't under the Other\Source directory.
The ReadMe.txt is for Sumatra PDF.
Lol, the Apache license isn't the GPL License
You can remove the code from line 211 to line 215 because that's useless.

Once again, nice job, it's perfectly functional on your first try .

ZachHudock - July 3, 2008 - 9:33am

Yeah, he said the code is not needed, not that it is invalid code . It'll compile with unneeded stuff, as long as its actually valid code

OMG SWEET!!!! I love this!!! It is perfect for me in certain aspects ^_^ Especially when I am at school and on my pda ^_^ (cant use the portable on it but.... it still nice ^_^) I upload to my server for easier download (mediafire and other of those file sharing sites aren't very useful although mediafire is the best of them ^_^)

duhowpi (Homepage) - July 2, 2008 - 10:49am

Congratulations for this software! It's very useful. I sometimes use eyeOS in the official webpage and with this I can work in shared computer with a Pendrive. It runs slowly in the Pen, but I think in the HD will work good. Look at "Operating System Linux in Portable Version" and help with new distributions if you have time.

eyeOS is not an real Operating System

Chris Morgan (Homepage) - July 3, 2008 - 2:07am

Linux runs as an Operating System, but eyeOS is a web operating system, written in PHP, and requiring Apache to work. It is really quite limited in what it can do.

It's pretty nifty, though.

Christian, developer, moderator

I know

duhowpi (Homepage) - July 3, 2008 - 11:09am

I know that isn't a real operating system. There are more, for example Desktoptwo (or Computadora.de), or G.ho.st

Rather puzzled

Darkbee (Homepage) - July 3, 2008 - 1:55pm

I've used a demo of EyeOS in my browser... why would I want a "portable" version? I thought the whole point of a web-based OS is that there is nothing to download, all the software resides on a server somewhere... or is this a portable version of the server software? I'm kinda confused by this.

Secure, personal

Chris Morgan (Homepage) - July 4, 2008 - 1:47am

It's secure, as only you can get it
It's personal, as you can customise it as you like!
It's not dependant on e.g. eyeos.info being available.
It's ... eyeOS.

It's redundant - An OS within

Darkbee (Homepage) - July 7, 2008 - 11:42am

It's redundant - An OS within an OS
It's slow - Granted I've not tried a local install but on the web it feels like I'm running Win 3.11 all over again.
It's missing the point - I thought the whole idea of having a "web OS" was so that you didn't have to carry anything with you. If I forget my flash drive I'm SOL.

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but it just seems a very bizarre choice of app to be made "portable". What next "Internet Portable"?

Having said that, I applaud the efforts of those dedicated to bringing user-friendly portable versions of quality software to the masses.

Actually...

One Question.............

Bensawsome (Homepage) - July 4, 2008 - 10:40pm

He changed the link to mine so everyone could download it easier and you changed it back to mediafire........... Lol Just saying
Thanks,
Bensawsome

The autorun doesnt run

duhowpi (Homepage) - July 7, 2008 - 8:22am

The autorun of the program doesn't run. I tried to rename .\App\EyeOS\EyeOS.exe to the same name of the autorun and when I execute the autorun, I only see two processes: "mapache.exe". When I close one, Internet Explorer (default navigator) opens the web: localhost:8800. Only works the .\App\EyeOS\EyeOS.exe application.
And one suggestion: Add eyeSync for sincronization with the server.

Uploaded new version and added the link to my site ^_^

Known problem

hunted hawk - July 12, 2008 - 6:42am

this is a known problem with ALL portable apps from this site because the scripting language used on this site for the launchers is commonly used by Trojan writers because it offers the ability to encrypt the .exe so it can be read by AV's so most free AV's see this type of script and automatically flag it as a virus/Trojan this is a false positive
http://portableapps.com/support

this program is open source and used by many users if it contained a virus/Trojan it would of been flagged by another user by now and removed by a moderator

Brain Dead AVs..

Havvy - July 12, 2008 - 12:00pm

What hunted hawk is saying is mostly true. Not all applications are encrypted (so as to make the file smaller) with UPX, so not all will come up with errors. Unfortunately, not all virus searching products are smart...

What does the program mean by

dark_yux - August 12, 2008 - 9:26pm

What does the program mean by hostname?

Sig?

It means

Bobert - August 13, 2008 - 2:53pm

what the name of the EyeOS site should be. Usually Name's EyeOS or EyeOS Portable is good.

Bensawsome (Homepage) - August 13, 2008 - 9:08pm

Did you scan it @ www.virustotal.com And also I host it on my site. I wouldn't host it if I knew there was a virus. It is a false positive. See the bottom of this page (the "AntiVirus and AntiSpyware False Positives" part)
http://portableapps.com/support
EDIT: See the results:
http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/a77ff9dc68174ad92afb3e484302b459
Only a few programs detected one. Don't worry. It is a false positive.

Well it's dropped from 11/33

Tim Clark - August 13, 2008 - 9:48pm

Well it's dropped from 11/33 (33.33%) since July 12th, that's saying something but the author might want to get in contact with the companies involved and submit a False Positive report.

5 is still a little high after a month and I can see why it could, and obviously does make people nervous.

Well, first check out these

Bobert - August 16, 2008 - 12:09pm

Well, first check out these pages to get you started on PAF-ing apps.

How to Create A Portable App: The Gorilla Field Guide
and http://portableapps.com/development.

Those are very basic and should get you started. Also, just post in the App Development forum if you need help. There are many paf developers who can help you there.

whats the point

jwyanze (Homepage) - October 23, 2008 - 7:27pm

First post in a long time but whats the point in having a web based server on your flash drive if it is meant to be accessed via the public server or a personal server.
why not just install it on your home pc and then access it from any where.
Just asking.
by the was this is like the other side of the future. one side is portableapps and webapps is the other side. you only need one or the other unless u just want to be redundant

Never curse the alligator till you done cross the bridge.

Amazing! A few things though

Stevoisiak - October 30, 2008 - 12:01pm

1. It's not pre-release yet.
2. Try uploading it to MediaFire. It's the site people usually use if they dont have it on sourceforge.

Edit:

3. When I run it, the site asks for an installation or something
4. I get a box saying an admin needs to unblock some features of firefox.
5. There is a slight thing in the PAF installer where the windows box comes up to copy some of the files. This should be done in the installer

Thanks

What to Do

reederda (Homepage) - May 21, 2009 - 8:16pm

I'm probably just ignorant, but I just have a couple of questions: first, What exactly is eyeOS designed for(i.e, what can it do), and second, how do you get it to work? I open Mozilla Firefox, and try to start eyeOs, but the only thing that happens is a window opens and says nothing can load, and a small icon down in the corner of the taskbar.

Virus...?
