HowTo Turn Off Terminal Art/Quotes:

It was cute at first, but this Terminal art/quotes/question+answer stuff ( eg. Husse Jul 30 2007 ) ... is driving me crazy.

Can anyone tell me how to turn this OFF?

I've read the xfce man, searched ... should have a warning!

Thanks,

Open Desktop Settings, go to Terminal, disable "show fortune cookies".

Or:

Code: Select all

rm -v ~/.bashrc

.... assuming that ~/.bashrc only contains a cowsay line (when in doubt, check it first).

My OFF button ... That's a beautiful thing.

Many Thanks xenopeek!

Thanks for your advice Pjotr.

The Desktop Settings -> Terminal -> uncheck 'fortune cookies' ... did indeed work.

I'm not up on my 'bash' as yet but, Bash Beginners Guide, very soon (after Introduction to Linux.)

Thanks again.
