[elinks-users] ELinks can't find openssl
I'm trying to compile ELinks 0.11.5 and when I run: $ ./configure --with-256-colors I end up with neither GNUtls nor OpenSSL enabled: $ src/elinks --version # output wrapped at col. 72 ELinks 0.11.5 (built on Nov 22 2008 08:38:55) Features: Standard, IPv6, gzip, Periodic Saving, Timer, Cascading Style Sheets, Protocol (File, FTP, HTTP, URI rewrite, User protocols), MIME (Option system, Mailcap, Mimetypes files), LED indicators, Bookmarks, Cookies, ECMAScript, Form History, Global History, Scripting (ECMAScript scripting engine), Goto URL History, Search History It looks like the gnutls on this system is too old - I did see some messages at one point that said I needed version 1.2 or better, but as to OpenSSL I'm not sure.

I have a log from ELinks 0.11.4 that says: Sorry for the noise. I was missing libssl-dev and the .configure script could not find the ssl.h header file. Thanks!

[elinks-users] Automatic refresh - how can I disable it?
I love ELinks and I sincerely hope it will have full js support at some point. One minor annoyance that I believe is due to my setup is that when I switch from another GNU/screen "window" and start reading the headlines at news.google.com .. some timer appears to expire at one point (could be after a minute .. or two or three..) and a couple of links that I had caught out the corner of my eye and was planning to visit are no longer visible. I noticed some large number being decremented every second .. I think some place at the bottom right of the screen and I was wondering whether this has anything to do with my problem. What would be the .conf file option that I need to take a look at to disable this behavior?

[elinks-users] ELinks hogging CPU?
A bit of an exaggeration, but I noticed recently that on an idle system top had just about every process using a fraction of 1% CPU while ELinks with 2-3 tabs open on general purpose sites such as google news was using c. 5% CPU. I haven't been able to guess at why this might be happening. Only thing that I noticed is that if I bounce ELinks and reopen the same tabs it will behave for a few hours and then go back to using CPU cycles for no apparent reason. Can't say I've lost sleep over this, just curious. Any suggestion as to how I could figure out what ELinks is actually doing?

Handy!
The accumulated time is also very large - roughly ten times that of the
X server and about thirty times that of my window manager.
Here's a short excerpt of the strace:
stat64("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1267, ...}) = 0
time(NULL) = 1235122444

such file or directory)
open("/home/gavron/.elinks/formhist", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No

The same calls are repeated over and over so that should be enough to
nail it.
I'll look for doc re: the "formhist" file in the morning and why I need
one (mismatch between my elinks.conf file and my environment?)

I thought the screenshots were self-explanatory and would cut down on the verbiage. On October 10, 2007 I was using ELinks to visit http://news.google.de and I happened to take a screen dump. The rendering was pretty close to the mozilla foundation's offering's. I visit this particular page and a number of other news.google pages on a daily basis and I noticed a few days ago .. at about the time of the google webmail incident, IIRC .. that the rendering provided by ELinks had changed completely and is now very different from the one provided by seamonkey. The second screenshot "elinks9.png" was taken today, February 28, 2009 to document what I am now seeing. Since I have not changed anything in my ELinks setup or upgraded to a more recent version of ELinks in ages, I suspect that google must have changed something. Questions: 1. Are you folks seeing the same thing? 2. Do you know why this is happening? 3. Is there a workaround?

Re: [elinks-users] Rendering of google news.
Quick update. I'm sort of getting used to ELinks' rendering of the news.google.* pages but now I found another glitch. I use ELinks' link numbering feature, and for some unknown reason the link numbers on all news.google.* pages are off by exactly three. I need to type '126' if I want link [123], etc. Anyone knows the cause of this behavior? Is there a workaround?

[elinks-users] ELinks 0.12pre5 - Garbled display with UTF-8 I/O enabled.
I built elinks.-0.12pre5 from the tarball at http://elinks.or.cz. $ ./elinks -version ELinks 0.12pre5 Built on Sep 14 2009 11:35:21 Features: Standard, IPv6, gzip, UTF-8, Periodic Saving, Viewer (Search History, Timer, Marks), Cascading Style Sheets, Protocol (Authentication, File, FTP, HTTP, URI rewrite, User protocols), SSL (OpenSSL), MIME (Option system, Mailcap, Mimetypes files), LED indicators, Bookmarks, Cookies, ECMAScript (SpiderMonkey), Form History, Global History, Scripting (Spidermonkey ECMAScript), Goto URL History For this test, I ran ELinks in the following context: xterm(235) $ xterm -fn "-gnu-unifont-medium-r-normal--16-160-75-75-c-80-iso10646-1" \ -tn "xterm-256color" -u8 The xterm is built with 256-color support enabled. ~/.elinks/elinks.conf has the following enabled for this terminal: ## terminal.xterm-256color # Options specific to this terminal type (according to $TERM value). ## terminal.xterm-256color.charset set terminal.xterm-256color.charset = "utf8" ## terminal.xterm-256color.underline [0|1] set terminal.xterm-256color.underline = 1 ## terminal.xterm-256color.transparency [0|1] set terminal.xterm-256color.transparency = 1 ## terminal.xterm-256color.colors set terminal.xterm-256color.colors = 3 ## terminal.xterm-256color.block_cursor [0|1] set terminal.xterm-256color.block_cursor = 1 ## terminal.xterm-256color.restrict_852 [0|1] set terminal.xterm-256color.restrict_852 = 0 ## terminal.xterm-256color.utf_8_io [0|1] set terminal.xterm-256color.utf_8_io = 1 ## terminal.xterm-256color.m11_hack [0|1] set terminal.xterm-256color.m11_hack = 1 ## terminal.xterm-256color.type set terminal.xterm-256color.type = 2 I observed the following: 1. The screen becomes garbled when scrolling - especially, but not only, on pages with large numbers of non-latin characters. This requires issuing a Ctrl-L to refresh the screen after each scrolling action. 2. There is some “tearing” - i.e. the underlying xterm’s black background shows through the white ELinks background: This can affect a few square areas randomly placed on the page, or materialize as a black vertical bar on the right-hand side of the display, etc. Some of these black spots can be reset via Ctrl-L, others not. Although in this particular case, the black marks are not randomly placed, a link that may clarify - and where they only appear after a Ctrl-L is issued to clear the screen - is the following: http://us.rd.yahoo.com/homepage/intlpage/v2c/us/text/*http://tw.yahoo.com Black squares in this instance would appear to materialize where there are some form of "end-of-line". An interesting (?) aspect with this particular page, is that if I switch to another “X” workspace and return to the xterm that’s running ELinks, the black spots momentarily disappear and the next Ctrl-L brings them back. 3. When adding GNU/screen to the picture, with other windows that have a black background, such as those that are running bash shells, as soon as the black marks appear in the ELinks window, these other windows become permanently garbled with white vertical lines that are some 5-10 cells high to the right of the display. Ctrl-L has not effect on them. 4. After testing with 0.12pre5, I started my old 0.11.4 version and I observed the same behavior. I edited ~/.elinks/elinks.conf, changing the value of terminal.xterm-256color.charset back to 'us-ascii' and that took care of the problem. Tests were mostly done courtesy of Alan Wood’s excellent web site: http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/ Please let me know if you need additional information or further testing my end.

Started rxvt with the unicode version of the terminus font¹ 2. Fired up ELinks v0.12pre5 3. Verified that ELinks had set the charset to UTF-8 Unicode 4.

Pointed ELinks to http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/hebrew.html Upon scrolling, I experienced the same character “remanence” in random places as described in my previous report. I also noted the “tearing” effect with the terminal’s black background showing through ELinks’ white background. As before, Ctrl-L eliminated the artifacts, except for the black spots. I tried rxvt + unifont with similar results. Are you able to view this particular page without problems? If so, please let me know what emulator and font I should be using.

[elinks-users] Piping to elinks - skip popup dialog?
It's apparently possible to invoke ELinks as the last step in a pipe and
use it as a pager.
An artificial example might be:
$ cat file | elinks
This fires up a new instance of ELinks that displays this dialog:
┌─┐
│ │
│ What would you like to do with 'stdin' type: text/plain? │
│ │
│ Program ('%' will be replaced by the filename) │
│ │
│ │
│ [X] Block the terminal │
│ │
│ [ Open ] [ Save ] [ Display ] [ Show header ] [ Cancel ] │
└─┘
The [ Open ] button is focused so hitting makes Elinks display
the file's contents.
If I don't specify 'Program' or '%', and ELinks defaults to itself, so
to speak, which makes me think that I should be able to skip the popup.
I played with the options under 'Options Manager -> MIME' and ELinks's
command-line switches, but I am still seeing this popup.
Is there any way I could have Elinks skip this dialog?
Thanks,
CJ

Thanks, but I tried that and it does not do what I want: When I hit the [Open] button after the dialog pops up, the input is rendered in simile-html fashion - i.e. I can navigate to http links, email addresses, etc. With -force-html I only get a long line of characters with no formatting whatsoever. What I'm doing is using the mutt mailer's '|' aka 'pipe' command to switch to Elinks with the current message as input. From that point on I am in 'browser mode', and can navigate the message as if it were a web page, and otherwise benefite from all of Elinks's rendering and navigation features, which is considerably more effective than having the message rendered 'elinks -dump' or harvesting the links via urlview or urlscan. In essence, it's as if I had converted a text file/message to html and pointed ELinks to the resulting file. This work quite well, except that I'm getting a little frustrated at seeing this popup and having to hit all the time. :-) CJ ___ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users

I eventually got this to work. Not sure what I did exactly, but I defined a file extension of "stdin" alongside the other stuff such as "png", "txt", etc. and associated it with text/plain and set the default MIME-type to text/plain as well and the popup disappeared. Mind you, I did not run a test after each and every individual change to my config, so may have changed something else as well. Naturally the new setup means that if I need the popup such as when I follow a link that points to something like a zip file or a jpeg, I don't get the popup, which I would normally have used to 'Save' the target - i.e. download it as I am used to do. But I can work around this by hitting the 'd' (for download) key (or select download on the context menu that pops up when I hit 'L') .. so it's just a matter of changing my habits. Believe me, I was getting rather frustrated about this whole issue and you definitely gave me a push in the right direction. Have a nice weekend.

Looks like I missed out on this one. I fully agree with the above - having had to kill idle Firefox sessions on a number of occasions because it was using some 30% CPU _and_ causing X to do likewise, nicely giving the fan on my laptop a nice prolonged workout in the process. System's temperature in such circumstances is somewhere in the vicinity of 78°C. While I'm at it, I thought I'd mention an additional reason why I use ELinks: For mutt users like myself, ELinks is great for displaying email messages because (obviously) http links are directly accessible by just tabbing to them and hitting enter. Considerably more user-friendly than urlview/urlscan and in essence, nicely emulates what you get in GUI style mail readers, but especially on slower machines, it is considerably faster. in $HOME/.muttrc: macro index \cv |elinks\n' macro pager \cv |elinks\n' And whenever I see an http link in an email message in mutt's default pager, I just hit CTRL-V and voilà, I'm in web browsing mode. cj -- Lads whose job is still to do Shall whet their knives and think of you. - Hugh Kingsmill ___ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users

[elinks-users] Following links creates new tabs.
I'm looking at http://news.google.com and when I follow pretty much any of the links on the main page, I see that ELinks displays the corresponding news article in a new tab, so that after accessing half a dozen such articles, or even the same article half a dozen times, I end up with half a dozen ‘google news’ tabs. This does not appear to be the case if I use the ‘seamonkey’ web browser instead of ELinks. Could anybody confirm that this is not due to a mistake in my configuratiion, which I doubt since I haven't changed anything lately and this behavior started a few weeks ago. If recreatable, if there is a simple workaround to avoid this? As an aside, there used to be an #elinks channel on freenode, but I can't seem to be able to access it anymore.

In seamonkey, I can eliminate this behavior by checking ‘Open links passed from other applications - The current tab/window’ under ‘Links from other applications’. These configuration options live under ‘Preferences->Tabbed Browsing’. I checked the ELinks ‘Options->User interface->Window tabs’ and could not find an equivalent.

The fact that you don't see the problem in the linux console and see it in putty suggests you may have run into the same problem. Anyway, I downloaded the source of a more current version of ELinks and made sure that I checked ‘VT100 frames’ in the pull down menu (Setup -> Terminal Options) and the problem went away. But then again my environment is quite different, since I have my locale set to the default UTF-8 and I am using a unicode-capable version of xterm (uxterm or ‘xterm -u8’). Unless someone more knowledgeable comes up with a real solution, I would suggest you play a bit with changing your locale, switch to a unicode version of putty (if relevant) or a different emulator, and use the Terminal Options dialog to specify different frames and see if you get them to display correctly. I have a feeling that the ‘no frames’ option that gives you ASCII characters such as ‘+-+’ instead of the frames drawn using the prettier line-drawing characters and that should work in all circumstances. This might provide a tolerable workaround while you research this further. CJ ___ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users

Yes, it looks like ‘elinks -dump’ replaces unicode line drawing characters by their ascii equivalents. When I browse with ELinks and I'm looking at tables at www.w3schools.com I see nice line-drawing characters in the U+2500 range or thereabout, but when I do an ‘elinks -dump.. ’ of the URL, all I get is the old Ascii stuff (with dashes and plus signs ‘++---+’ e.g. The dump options are under ‘Options Manager->Document->Dump Output’ but I don't see anything that looks like it would let you change this setting. But apart from that, and issues related to the page width, everything else looks OK. Anyway, to answer your other question there is no ‘interface’ that I know of between ELinks and the printing system. What I had in mind was more prosaically something along the lines of: | $ elinks -dump-width nnn -dump URL | lpr -P PDF That should give you the exact image of the ‘Elinks -dump command’ in printable form. Only other thing that comes to mind is that if it's just the tables bothering you, you might be able to write a script to postprocess the output of ‘elinks -dump’ and replace the pluses and dashes by the better-looking line-drawing characters and add it as a filter to the pipe above.

I prefer elinks output. I did a quick test as well and noticed that ELinks does a better job with bulleted lists, and in my setup jutifies the text - which I don't mind since I read lots of man pages, but I guess some would find this questionable with fixed-width fonts.

| Description: advanced text-mode WWW browser - lightweight version
| ELinks is a feature-rich program for browsing the web in text mode. It is
| like enhanced Lynx and Links. The most noteworthy features of ELinks are:
| .
| * Lots of protocols (local files, finger, HTTP(S), FTP, IPv4/6 etc.)
| * Persistent cookies, HTTP authentication and proxy authentication
| * Tabbed browsing, good looking menus and dialogs, and key-binding manager
| * History browsing and typeahead searches
| * Tables and frames rendering, and configurable color support
| * Compressed and background (non-blocking) downloads, and download resuming
| .
| This lite version contains no scripting or extra features but doesn't
| depend on other libraries either, so it is useful for small systems.
| Homepage: http://elinks.cz/
| Tag: implemented-in::c, interface::text-mode, network::client,
protocol::{ftp,http,ipv6,ssl}, role::program, scope::application,
use::browsing, web::browser, works-with::text, works-with-format::html,
works-with-format::plaintext
As far as I know, this is not an ELinks issue per se.. Distribution
maintainers may create alternative packages that use less resources
and with fewer deendencies, presumably by disabling certain features
when they configure the package.
The above is from a debian "squeeze" install.
You may want to ask on your distribution's mailing list or IRC channel.

One heavy-handed way of finding out if this assumption is correct and if so, what actually gets sent out would be to use tcpdump or such to capture/filter the actual dialog between Elinks and your server.. since I'm not aware of a debug option in Elinks that would help here. You could obviously do the same against lynx and see where they differ.. I ran another test with Elinks 0.12pre5 and tried to access a site whose url is http://snl.no/Sønner_af_Norge.. then downloaded the web page via the "Save As".. and "Save formatted document" under Elinks' File menu.. no problem. I switched my locale to en_ISO8859-1 and logged into a linux console (assumming that's what you mean by text console).. no problem either.

But then I run debian rather than fedora and both versions of Elinks may have different patches applied.. > - The file content is preserved if I use Lynx to download and save the > file. So maybe this is a bug that occurs in a very specific context that may be specific to the fedora version.. Perhaps you could build an Elinks executable in your $HOME from the 0.12pre6 tarball to clarify. As a workaround, you could try replacing the "ø"'s in the url's with html's Ø.. see if that helps. Oh, and please note that I am not an "encodings expert" or an Elinks developer..

Probably ELinks never sees your CTRL-S.. the underlying terminal grabs it and does not pass it to the application. But then hitting CTRL-S should freeze your terminal and you'd need to issue a CTRL-Q to unfreeze... so I'm not sure.. See "man stty". You could try to issue a | % stty CTRL-V CTRL-S '' before you launch ELinks and see if it helps. .. or if you don't want to bother about stty, you could also hit "CTRL-V CTRL-S" in ELinks (instead of just CTRL-S) .. and ELinks should see the CTRL-S.
