hey @GodloveD ! I am having trouble with cowsay and lolcat - the fourtune seems to work ok, but the other two hang when I run them:

$ fortune
Reader, suppose you were an idiot.  And suppose you were a member of
Congress.  But I repeat myself.
        -- Mark Twain
vanessa@vanessa-ThinkPad-T450s:~$ cowsay
^C
vanessa@vanessa-ThinkPad-T450s:~$ lolcat

Doing a pull and run of the Docker image works seamlessly, with colors :) Do you want to use that instead?

GodloveD commented 7 years ago

Wonder what is wrong? Yes I can use lolcow instead.

okey doke :) btw, are you around the palo alto / stanford area now? Or still at NIH?

GodloveD commented 7 years ago

I'm not at NIH anymore but I still live in DC.

Hey, I just had a thought. How are you calling cowsay and lolcat? They are like cat. If you call them with no input they will apparently freeze as they wait for you to provide some text. Could that be what is going on?
