Show Us You Firefox Persona or Desktop!

[Laughing Man]

Spoiler

No idea what a 'persona' is, reading Firefox's page for it though it looks suspiciously like the word should have been 'theme' in which case I use the Noia 2.0 theme

Oh! If I may pester you about linux, I installed Ubuntu 9.10 and after it finished the installation it shut down my computer. Now whenever I try to select it in dual boot it just brings up a command prompt instead of launching the GUI interface... Any idea why this might be happening?

Hmm, very odd. Is there anything in this command prompt or is it totally blank?

I had Ubuntu as a dual boot for a while but it would always take me to the GRUB launcher on startup..

Making games work properly through WINE is a pain. The only PC game I actually play is Guild Wars (it's mostly a pretty chat client now though) and it's still not perfect after trying to tweak it for a year. The only flaws are some texture glitches, but I can live with that.

Other applications usually just require a simple installation to work through WINE. Stuff like Spotify and Ventrilo worked instantly.

EDIT: I just realised that we're drifting away from the topic... There should be a Linux thread around somewhere.

I admit I'm fairly good at derailing things..Sadly there is a surprising shortage of Linux based threads around the Escapist..perhaps it's time to make one..

Also, I know WINE isn't too bad, it's just a little added fuss for a computer gamer to go through during installation.

It has text explaining how to use the command prompt? Other than that nothing. And it's installed inside windows if that means anything.

I see you are a fan of World War Z, are you not.

Hmm that is rather odd..take a look here and see if there's anything to help.

I'm still fairly new to Ubuntu myself, and learning as I go along (lesson one was do not delete any of your panels, you will only regret it and have to use the terminal to bring them back again) but the only thing I can really think of is an interrupted installation somehow, or possibly you didn't correctly assign partitions?

Spoiler: my background

I seriously have no idea how to put up, images except from Google Images, so I don't know how to put my desktop here but this is what I use as my background. I hope this doesn't get replaced by the site's logo which is a dick move a lot of site's that have images on Google Images do, but if it does its a picture of a mushroom cloud explosion.

You know what? I haven't quite decided which FireFox persona fits me.

For now, I'll keep using LoliFox, or maybe even Chrome.

My desktop is a custom Katamari theme.

I know this is stupid, but how exactly do you post a screen cap from your PC and not from the internet.

Spoiler: Colourful and thought-provoking

Thank you Mr. Huxley.

As for Firefox, I never found a persona that I liked or didn't distract me, so it's just the default one.

Spoiler: Does he look like a robot?

Generally not a fan of these topics as they're not exactly encouraging discussion but damn I just fucking love this image.

He looks like Robocop if Will Smith played him.

Seeing this thread made me realise that my awesome Rise Against persona had broken. After a little experimentation, I discovered that they all had, so for now, my answer is:

No persona, but you can haz my desktop.

Spoiler: Desktop Inside

I took that picture myself

Am I the only one who thinks there should be a pixel-thick line above the bottom persona-y bit?

GAH! There's SFIV for PC?! MUST GET!

BAM

Spoiler: DOUBLE BAM AND OBJECTION

I'unno, but it's not difficult to setup a Photobucket and host it there
Although I hosted it at my blog which I rarely link to because I feel like I'll be called a spammer.

Spoiler: Desktop

Otherwise, I use Chrome...

that's awesome, i love that picture. i love evangelion humour, the series was just a tad too po-faced for my liking.

my current desktop is...

Spoiler: ...in this spoiler tag

the background is a mouse tracking from two and a half hours of dawn of war 2. i preferred the mass effect 2 one but i only just made this one.

Excellent work, my friend, where can I get this program of yours?

 

[Tinneh]

Heeeeeeey...are you a Portal fan...?

Not only is my desktop/theme Aperture Science, the .WAV file on my desktop is the radio loop from Portal.

You mean the startup sound is just a very long sound file, or you actually set Windows up to have looping audio whenever you're on the desktop? If the second thing, how did you go about doing that? I'm unaware of such a feature.

Actually, I meant that it's the file from the Portal sound directory. You know the song that plays when a radio is picked up? It's that one. I had it on my desktop because I was making it my ringtone a while back and never removed it.

i don't know how to make spoilers but

Spoiler: It used to be this

Spoiler: Now it's this

I change my desktop quite a lot. I don't use Firefox.

 

[GreyWolf257]

I see you are a fan of World War Z, are you not.

Indeed. Plus, this scene just oozes awesome. To me, at least.

This is my desktop. I really need a new computer.
