GNUAccounting instruction is confusing

Submitted by foxcole on September 6, 2007 - 4:03pm

The README file for GNUAccounting (which I found on sourceforge.net while looking for an older version of OpenOffice Portable) was written by a programmer who seems to think everyone knows his language... The application comes in a tar.gz file, and it's easy enough to uncompress it to my USB key, but I have a couple of questions.

What does "run" mean in this instruction: Now change into the directory gnuaccounting and run "./gnuaccounting.sh".

How do I "run" a .sh file? What is this file?

Also, under "Additional Features" in that Readme file is this:

MPlayer sound is always in Spanish for DVDs

Submitted by foxcole on September 6, 2007 - 3:24pm

In the regular installation of MPlayer, without changing any options, the sound is always in Spanish. I have to either change the sound driver from DirectSound to Win32, or in the Audio Track submenu (under Tools) have to change from 128 (en) to 129 (en). Neither of these settings "stick" so they have to be done for every DVD I play. (In the Options dialog, I can change Language from Auto-Select to English and still the DVD plays in Spanish until I make one of the changes mentioned above.) I have nothing against Spanish, mind.... I can even understand some of it.

MySQL in XAMPPlite

Submitted by chillicane on September 4, 2007 - 6:28am

Having trouble getting MySQL in XAMPPlite to work on different machine from the one i set up on intially.

Set up database on XP machine on V: drive and now cannot get ANY mysql databases to work on a windows 2000 machine on K: drive using the USB key. I get the error.

Incorrect information in file: '.\\.frm'

for all databases and tables loaded in my database setup. All MySQL references to this error appear to be releated to long closed bugs in old MySQL setups

Anyone got any ideas? It really looks like XAMPP isnt too portable after all!

Public key path in WinSCP Portable 4.03

Submitted by hugus on August 21, 2007 - 4:47pm

When using public key authentication, the launcher does not adapt the path to the key file. As a result, WinSCP does not find the key when the drive letter changes.

Workaround: manually remove the drive letter from the [Sessions\your_stored_session] section in winscp.ini, e.g. PublicKeyFile=H:%5CPortableApps%5CWinSCPPortable%5CData%5Csettings%5Cpublick_key.ppk

It is also worth nothing that changing the "configuration storage" preferences to the registry apparently deletes all the sessions that were previously stored in the ini file, there is no going back.

XAMPP which one is portable?

Submitted by invasion on August 17, 2007 - 1:23pm

Hi,

I would like to try the Basic package but there is an Installer (34 MB), a ZIP (80 MB), and an Exe (28 MB). Which one is the portable version? Should I install one of these packages in the root directory and after that download and install XAMPP Launcher 1.2 in PortableApps folder?

Thanks for your support.
