the whole thread is hilarious, but i think this really doesn't work out of context.
also aiir might feel bad about it.

Naik · 2016-08-25 09:58:41

to get back to unfunny:

I just installed it using mk.sh (fold:120; as suggested but whenever i try it it says:

fortune cbbl
fortune:/home/naik/bin/fortune-mod-cbbl/cbbl not a fortune file or directory
No fortunes found

whats up there?

did you install to /usr/share/fortune or /usr/share/games/fortunes (note that one is "fortune" and the other "fortunes"!)?
if you did NOT install, you are probably trying to call it from the git repo's root directory.
in that case you have to use "fortune build/cbbl".
you also have to run the mk.sh script again, i made another relevant change.

ohnonot: what is it with terminal output that people seem to forget their ability to read? there's a reason for that output, and there's a reason that it's not in hex code, but in english.

I still don`t get why mk.sh wouldn`t allow installing in /usr/share/fortune or any other palce i tried (there had been hundrets literally) but it works, that's enough for now.

fortune looks for fortunes in one (!) certain folder.
on debian systems, it is /usr/share/games/fortunes, on my archlinux it is /usr/share/fortune.
therefore, the mk.sh script does not create the folder for you, but installs only into an existing folder.
actually this shouldn't be a user choice at all, but since i don't know what other possibilities there are, it's better like that.
ok, i should make that clearer in the instructions.

edit:
changed default install path in mk.sh since the debian default is the most likely choice.
haven't tested yet.

I tested the updated mk.sh and it is working

i think it would be better to provide the user choice with a clearer explanation on why to do so (e.g. give example path names for different OS). For a noob like me it is still not clear that i wont be able to choose any path which comes to my mind.
but thats just my two cents.

Anyway, thank you!
my terminator now starts doing:

ddate >> ~/startnote && fortune cbbl > ~/startnote && cat ~/startnote | ponysay && /bin/bash

and i like it!

^ cool, first confessed user!
yes, i will update the readme and/or script with some more info soon. i realize it is counter-intuitive the way it is now.

I have a local fortune script (the #! cb-fortune with tweaked config) and it calls fortune with 'fortune $HOME/.fortunes' which works. $HOME/.fortunes contains fortune and fortune.dat files. 'man fortune' seems to confirm that you can give it any directory to look in.

ohnonot · 2016-08-27 09:55:59

ok so in that case the above problem could have been solved by calling

fortune build

from the git repo's root.
