How do you get w3m to work? I've installed both w3m and emacs-w3m and restarted emacs, but M-x w3m fails. Which other email programs and browsers work with emacs? I've had no luck with eww. It gives the error that function requires libxml2. I have libxml2. On 06/15/2017 04:40 AM, Linux for b

On a vinux system that repository that got added was added to /etc/apt/sources.list. You would need to copy what was added in that file exactly into the /etc/apt/sources.list file on your debian system then update your system to bring the new repository's files into your local files cache databa

Tim here. Hey, Martin, I love the tales of yore. I too cut my Unix teeth on DEC Ultrix machines, have used elvis/stevie as VI clones on DOS (as well as "ed" on Unixlikes and "edlin" on DOS), played with a Votrax Apple II hardware speech synthesizer, and also walked to school up-hill both ways in

I know there's a way to have nano perpetually display current line, column, and character counts, though I have no idea what you'd add to nanorc to make it the default behavior or what keyboard shortcut toggles it(ctrl+c makes nano display this information until you type or delete another character

I learned to touch type on something that never had electricity running through it, a Royal 440 typewriter. I had a little computer exposure before 1986 but got my first computer in that year and that was a CP/M machine too. In 1987 due to college study requirements I went over to the dark si

Actually, all showcursor does is the same thing showcursor does in lynx, it shows the cursor on the screen. It does not display coordinates on any part of the screen while typing, I know I tested it. On Fri, 16 Jun 2017, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2017 11:24:

Yes, this thread is interesting. I think I'll try some of what people have suggested. I've tried nano a few times, but I clearly didn't find all the places where I could learn to make it do more of what I wanted. In 1979, the only thing I knew about computers was that I didn't have one. I w

This has been an interesting thread so far. I began using unix in 1989 on a DEC system which used the trade name of Ultrix and the standard editor was vi so I've stuck with vi ever since since it is so common. Well, ultrix went away many years ago and my working group used Sunos fo
