Wanda cannot find fortune

Asked by Maurice Nordstrom

No problem adding "Fish" to toolbar, but when clicked instead of Wanda, gets error message that the program to execute cannot be located.

sudo apt-get install fortune

You may have to make a symlink to fortune if the app expects the binary in a different location. If you launch the app from terminal (if you can) then it may say where its expected. The location may also be defined in a conf file someplace.

Hopefully just installing fortune will work.

      If you RIGHT-click Wanda, and look under "Preferences", have you told it to use fortune?

Thanks for hoping. Just installing fortune, actually "fortune.mod"
 did work. indeed. When something does not work, Wanda is a mind cleaner. I use "Free Cell" to empty my mind on Windows 7. Thanks again.
