Here's the message:
anticapitalista@KanotixBox:~$ links2 -g
---------------------- DirectFB v0.9.25 ---------------------
(c) 2000-2002 convergence integrated media GmbH
(c) 2002-2004 convergence GmbH
-----------------------------------------------------------
(*) DirectFB/Core: Single Application Core. (2006-10-17 10:09)
(*) Direct/Memcpy: Using MMXEXT optimized memcpy()
(!) DirectFB/core/vt: Error opening `/dev/tty0'!
--> Permission denied
(!) DirectFB/Core: Could not initialize 'system' core!
--> Initialization error!
svgalib: Cannot get I/O permissions.
links2 text mode works fine. Using fully upgraded kanotix 2005-04.
Thanks in advance |

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). |

Kanotix 2005-04 fully dist-upgraded IS Debian Sid.
Are you sure you are fully dist-upgraded?
Are you sure you use the official sources.list?
NEVER OPEN LINKS2 AS ROOT!!
Greetings,
Chris |

Another lightweight web browser. Interesting. Thanks for pointing it out.
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).

OK, OK! Geez! Am I going to go on the "No Fly" list now? What's the security issue here? |

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. |
