Enabling fortune cookies #34

Closed ThorodanBrom closed 6 years ago

ThorodanBrom commented 6 years ago

I noticed that in LM 19 XFCE, that the option to enable fortune cookies has been removed. I understand this is intentional, based on the most recent commits. I just wanted to know if this ability has been shifted to some other settings manager. (To be honest, this was a weird place to put it from the beginning !)

No, it was removed not moved. You'd have to manually install the fortune-mod package with additionally one or more fortunes- packages for providing the fortune messages (see dependencies on https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/fortune-mod for which fortunes- packages there are). Then add the line fortune at the end of your ~/.bashrc file to have a fortune read to you every time you open a terminal.
