          Sounds like you're launching links2 in an X window session.  Switch to a VT and try it there.
 
Code: 
CTRL+ALT+F1
 
links2 -g
 
 
Make sure gpm is running so you also have a mouse.
 
 
Works here.   |

          Thanks for the reply.
 
 
But no luck even fron a VT, I get the same message.
 
 
If I open links2 -g as root in aterm or VT it works.
 
 
Maybe I've got some permissions problem somewhere.
 
 
BTW links2 -g works ok on debian sid and Mepis (sid). |

Are you sure you are fully dist-upgraded?
 
Are you sure you use the official sources.list?
 
NEVER OPEN LINKS2 AS ROOT!!

A Google search indicates your issue ("links2 -g" does not start from within a console) is a known bug with the current version in Sid. Try removing it and installing the one from Etch (testing).

Greetings,
 
Chris
  
 
 
Fully upgraded (dist-upgraded)
 
Using official sources.list
 
I only opened links2 as root to see if it works, it does, but as user I get the above message.
 
 
I think the problem might be with tty0, but I have no idea how to solve it. |
