Miranda: [solved on my own] OTR

Submitted by g.beck on August 25, 2008 - 9:18pm

Hi.
I want to use OTR encryption while chatting via jabber. Is this somehow possible with Miranda Portable?

I already found this thing here:

but I don't know what to do with it. Guess it's a beta for programmers? How can I install it and how safe to use is it?

Pidgin 2.5.0 is a bit unstable

I'm thinking at this point that Pidgin 2.5.0 itself is simply a bit unstable. I've had numerous crashes on a regular local version of 2.5.0 since the upgrade. A couple a day at least. So, if you don't need the updated MSN features or the Gadu Gadu fixes, you may be better off sticking with 2.4.3.

Personally, I may downgrade since I don't use Gadu Gadu and I'm dropping MSN since I get dozens of spam messages a day on it (and everyone I know on MSN also has AOL or GTalk).

CA eTrust 7.1.501 is detecting Win32/FakeAv.CX Trojan in PuttyPortable.exe

Submitted by scar on August 20, 2008 - 4:16pm

i have even just downloaded the puttyportable package again and it is being detected right away. so i'm thinking this is a false positive. i use putty everyday and it wasn't detected yesterday. i tried updating virus definitions but no new ones are available yet. hopefully it will be resolves soon. can the team communicate with CA to expedite getting this resolved? thanks.

Pidgin: PP 2.5.0 crashes on buddylist mouse over

Submitted by ktannert on August 20, 2008 - 8:57am

I upgraded to PP 2.5.0 and it appears to crash when I mouse over the buddy list. I renamed the installation directory and tried a fresh install with a single AIM account. It crashes too when I mouse over the buddy list. It seems to happen when buddies are moused over in quick succession. Is anyone else having this problem?

Pidgin: Why can't I IM someone while invisible on msn?

Submitted by julias on August 15, 2008 - 10:31pm

Hello,

Starting back a year or so ago, using GAIM portable, I cannot go to invisible mode and chat on msn with anyone. If I type to someone online or offline on msn, I get an error message saying *not allowed while invisible* Using a yahoo account however, allows me to send/receive online/offline messages while in invisible mode.

I downloaded and am using pidgin portable now, and the same thing applies. I can send/receive offline/online messages via yahoo, but not using msn acct.

Is this normal? Any work around?

Pidgin: Using sfx for "temporary" installation and getting error 126

Submitted by Freeballer on August 11, 2008 - 1:06pm

I use sfx files to "house" my portables, several reason for it including that I share them occassionally and seems silly to have 2 copies on zip (and yes, this is the easiest method for MOST). I've used pidgin portable since it was a beta and even before gaim beta 2 -/= and never an issue.
I have windows vista, the newest pidgin (as of 8/2008) but getting:

error loading pidgin.dll
error: (126) The specified module was not found

This probably means that GTK+ cannot be found

Seems to be similar or same issue as discussed: https://portableapps.com/node/8808

FileZilla: Addressing the website folder on "PortableApps" disk

Submitted by mgagnonlv on August 11, 2008 - 12:11pm

For one of the websites I maintain, I keep the copy of the files on my USB Key. Things work well when I edit the files (typically with Notepad Plus), but I come to a minor annoyance when I want to upload the files. On my home computer, the path is "M:\Documents\Folder\my_files", whereas on my office computer it is "I:\Documents\Folder\my_files".

In both cases, M or I is the letter given to my USB key, which is the same drive where PortableApps.com applications are installed.

FileZilla: Settings - error

Submitted by mojoe on August 8, 2008 - 11:49pm

I haven't used FileZilla Portable in a while, but just now I wanted to setup the program to use a SOCKS proxy. When I selected Settings from the File menu, I get the following error: XRC resource 'ID_SETTINGS_CONNECTION_FTP' (class 'wxPanel') not found!

I'm pretty sure that in the past, I have used the Settings menu before. I don't know when things changed, but I have upgraded my FileZilla Portable a few times in the last several months. I currently have the latest version.
