Hi,

Looks like I'm missing some vital piece of information here. How can I display the Slackware logo in an LQ message when I post from a Slackware PC? All I get is a little penguin with a question mark in it.

Cheers,

Niki

In Firefox, go to about:config (no clue if this link will work - it doesn't, I'm removing the url tags) and right click to create a new string called general.useragent.extra.distro. The text should just be simply Slackware to change the icon.

Apparently this functionality was removed from Firefox and it now requires full editing of the UserAgent rather than appending something to the end in about:config. See my next post for the likely way to get the logo to show.

Thank you very much !

Edit: doesn't work.

Well, after more research, it seem my previous post is no longer valid due to Mozilla removing the ability to add strings to the end of your UserAgent.

You should just be able to take your current UserAgent string and then just add [b]Slackware[/b[ before Linux x86(_64) (or in other words, modify it so instead of Linux, it shows Slackware Linux). You can do this with various UserAgent extensions or by overriding it in your prefs.js under .mozilla/firefox/*.default/prefs.js (this file needs to be modified while Firefox is not open... otherwise the changes won't be saved when you exit Firefox). Keep in mind, by modifying the UserAgent, it will not reflect any changes when you update Firefox. You will need to redo the versioning (might be easier to remove the modification, get the new string, and then modify the new UserAgent) every time you update Firefox.

user_pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Slackware Linux x86_64; rv:30.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/30.0");

Think post #2, by tronayne, in the thread linked to by mrclisdue is correct. Let's see...?
Yes. Had to refresh the page.
In ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/prefs.js, in my case:

Giving this a spin.

Nope.

Nope?

You have to edit the file while Firefox is closed and then start it back up. It only loads the preferences when Firefox starts, and anything that was set while Firefox was open is lost when you exit Firefox.

Got my user agent string from here:

http://www.whatsmyuseragent.com/

Yes, there is.

Hopefully there is a Slackware logo now.

This appeared to work for me. (The changing the user agent part in Firefox, that is.)

That method used to work for me, editing about:config. But then, with one of the past firefox releases, that entry kept disappearing. That's when someone posted the solution of putting it in prefs.js.

Edited prefs.js on my laptop, and the Slack logo wasn't appearing. Try disabling the (Firefox) Classic Theme Restorer, see if that works.

Well?
No. WTF???
