How do I launch portableapps in Ubuntu?

Submitted by garybrune on October 14, 2007 - 9:49pm

I run a dual boot machine with XP and Ubuntu 7.04, which I will upgrade to Gutsy Gibbon, v7.10 as soon as it is available. I have two physical hard drives, with PortableApps installed on my data drive. It launches fine from there in XP, and I would like to run it in Ubuntu.

How do I do this without Wine?

Menu not clickable

Submitted by JakobF on October 13, 2007 - 10:14am

Hello,

I have a problem using PAM 1.1 beta release..
The Menu is not clickable. So I cannot
open any programs nor the options etc.
I can also not close the program.
All 'mouse over' effects are working,
the move cursor over the logo, e.g.
Sometimes when I just plugged my Stick in it works,
but mostly only for the first fadein/out of the menu.
Then it's not clickable again.

Hope you can help me

Best regards
Jakob

Menu more persistent??

Would it be possible to make the Menu have the option to not vanish on an app's selection? Some times - most times - it is very useful to be able to open apps in quick succession and not trek to the world's (bottom right) end to find a menu that could be more easily positioned and accessed to suit the user.

I couldn't find a response to the last person who asked this about 5-6 months ago. Is it likely or even possible?

so i hear that PAM beta 5 is out and that it supports .png files. well me and neorame were talking about getting the digital glass(alpha transparancy) that windows vista aero glass pulls off. apparently this can be pulled of with a .png file like the pam supports, unfortunately as you will see here, the PAM supports .png's without alpha tranparency making it imposable to pull of vista's aero glass.

i request that one of the improvements that we make to beta 5 is the support of alpha transparency.

Menu Appearance is scrambled!

Help!
I use a Thumb Drive with Portable Apps installed on it with PortableMenu. On my wife's computer and my work computer, it works fine. My son has a 3-year old 17" compaq R3000 laptop. On this laptop the PortableApps menu is distorted and I cannot make out the apps on the bottom of the screen. The only thing that is different is the screen resolution -- 1680 by 1050 pixels. How can this be resolved?

I didn't knew exactly where to post this, request or PAM.

Maybe it's an idea to make it possible, that if you run StartPortableApps, or open the Removable Drive, that you need to fill in a password to access it.
A password wich you can fill in at the Options Menu.
