Slackware-logo in LQ-posts with Google-Chrome

markush · 04-12-2011, 01:38 PM

Hello together,

has anyone tried to change the useragent or whatever is needed for this purpose. I've installed Google-Chrome and now my posts here in this forum are missing the Slackware-logo.

There is an addon for Chrome which can change the useragent, but I don't know if this is necessary. And if it's necessary, how to change the useragent in order to have the logo back?

Just start google-chrome form CLI as follows:

Code:

$ google-chrome --user-agent=Slackware

or, as I do

Code:

$ google-chrome --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 Slackware/13.37 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/10.0.648.127 Safari/534.16"

I have also edited my google-chrome.desktop on /opt/google/chrome to whenever I launch it, this is already present. That extra info came from about:version.

Edit: Oops, I've recently updated my Google Chrome and forgot to what I just said. :-P

Well, I have checked this with the sites http://www.useragentstring.com/ and http://whatsmyuseragent.com/ but did not see any changes to the default useragent-settings.

But now having all Chrome Windows closed I hope it works.

Hello rfernandez,

thank you very much.

Obviously it's working now, but I've to find out, how to start Chrome with the icon in the controlbar and give it the useragent as an argument.

Here is patch that could automatically do what rfernandez have forgot

Hello grissiom,

thank you very much, this works for me.

The next thing which doesn't work is, if I launch Chrome out of Thunderbird (i.e. opening a link in an email) I don't have the useragent with Slackware.

I'm also wondering if how I can change the menulanguage in Chrome to german.

Just a test............

Didn't work adding --user-agent=Slackware

Rebuilding with the patch from post #5 works for me.

Additionally, editing the exec line in the shell script ( i.e.- /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chromium-launcher.sh )
also worked for me in gentoo with chromium

Code:

#exec -a "chromium-browser" "$PROGDIR/chrome" --extra-plugin-dir=/usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins "$@"
exec -a "chromium-browser" "$PROGDIR/chrome" --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 Gentoo (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.24 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/11.0.696.57 Safari/534.24" --extra-plugin-dir=/usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins "$@"

Another test, Chrome UA Spoofer

Edit: Failed

SqdnGuns · 07-13-2011, 07:12 AM

Trying it with rebuilt package and the above patch.

EDIT: I give up..............for now.

onebuck · 07-13-2011, 08:19 AM

Hi,

Please use the thread ' Testing thread about nothing (I'm trying to diagnose an LQ-related Firefox issue)' for testing useragent changes.

That way you will not clutter a thread with testing.

Got it working by editing my google-chrome.desktop and modifying Exec to Exec=/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 Slackware/13.37 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/10.0.648.127 Safari/534.16"

I have done the same thing, even rebuilt the package with the above patch. <scratches head>

After reading your post I edited both of these:

Code:

/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome.desktop
/home/sqdnguns/.local/share/xfce4/helpers/google-chrome.desktop

with this:

Code:

Exec=/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 Slackware/13.37 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/12.0.742.124 Safari/534.16"
