apt packages are installed and noted in 541f13d |
|
The math fortune files found on my git hub page needed to complete the install are
If you have these three files in your working directory, all you need to do to complete the install is to run Can we work on adding these files as well? Thanks. Maxie |
|
Also, can you install the fortune-mod package with apt. There do not seem to be that many fortune files in /usr/share/games/fortunes. |
|
Hmm, it's already installed, i.e. and yes, there seems to be almost nothing. |
|
I think there was a gentoo package that would install them all... With apt,
did you install the fortunes package in addition to fortune-mod? That might
help populate the fortunes databases list in /use/share. I have about 178
entries on my local box.
Also, can we work on getting the three files (2 fortune, one .cow) from my
GitHub repo installed? That was the original idea of having the math
fortunes printed out with the Sigma symbol when the user opens a new SMC
terminal.

Here is the SMC Wiki link to setting up the math fortune command to print
every time a new terminal is started:

Thanks!
1. Given that this is the SMC wiki, please make a complete version of this
that **100% assumes** the user is using SMC, then another version (say
another section at the bottom) that assumes they are not on SMC.
2. It is "SageMathCloud" and "SMC", not "the Sage Math Cloud" and not "the
SMC".
3. Find a random person and watch them read and try to use the instructions
you've made from 1 without saying anything as they work through it. Then
rewrite 1.

I updated the SageMathCloud part of the title to reflect the grammar
change. The new link is found at
https://github.com/sagemathinc/smc/wiki/Bash-Fortunes-in-the-SageMathCloud-Terminal
.
For 3), I have primarily functional Windows users at home right now, so how
do you think I should edit the commands in the Wiki page to make it easier
for a user who hasn't seen it before to parse?

Do 3) sometime in the next month or two -- no hurry.

Can we get the three math fortune files (math.fortunes, math.fortunes.dat, Sigma.cow) installed on the SMC server? I know you are busy with "real" administration tasks, but it's been a while since I asked for this and there's already a tutorial for configuring its use on the SMC wiki page. Thanks. |
