A Few GNOME Easter Eggs
Hey you! Hit ALT-F2 in your gnome desktop and type ‘free the fish’.
Trust me.
It’s ok. It won’t break your machine. I promise. C’mon!
Now you’ve got company on your desktop with Wanda the fish. Try clicking on Wanda and see what happens. Cool little easter egg in GNOME there.
…or try ALT-F2 and use ‘gegls from outer space’ for a bit of gnome gaming fun.
Thought you all might enjoy that. Better go, Wanda is chasing my cursor right now and don’t want her to catch up.
To get rid of Wanda see the comments section below.
Couldn’t resist of course. Now I’d
like to know how to kill the fish!
Philip – the only way I know of to kill the fish is to ‘killall gnome-panel’ or login / logout.
Indeed. How do you kill wanda?
Cool!, So how do I kill wanda? LOL
I ask the same lol
Well, ‘killall gnome-panel’ worked (was not sure if windows and stuff from the notification bar would get again into it, but they did
).
Nice post ;P.
easter eggs rock
Anyone else remember the hall of tortured souls?
K,
You can also get Wanda by pressing ‘fff’ on the gnome panel about dialog.
You can get rid of Wanda by pressing ALT+F2, then “pkill gnome-panel”
Your panel will disappear for a few seconds and then reload itself. Sometimes it takes more than a few seconds, so be patient.
you can even try this, stille using alt+F2, type in “free the fish”, and laugh a bit
Yeah, funny! But after 2 hours I really had to use google to find out how to get rid of Wanda.
hi try pkill gnome-panel in alt+f2 it kills it but your panel disapears for a bit but ocmes back in 5 seconds or so
you can just click it and it will go away.
yeah, but if you click it, it’ll just run off the screen and come back again a little later. to get rid of her for good, do the alt-f2 pkill gnome-panel.
A Fish Called Wanda …
It’s also a comedy of 1988
Is it a coincidence ?
Way funny. I’ll have to get my teacher to try it with his students.
alt + f2 : call the fisherman
