[Lynx-dev] Sites Aren't Hanging After New Version

[Lynx-dev] Lots of Sites Hanging for 5minutes?
Hi All: First of all, my append issue in print menu resumed working well later or next day. Now on my main desktop console machine as well as a laptop, both running different distros, many sites are just hanging for around 5 minutes. This seems only in L Y N X. My main machine is in Debian SID, while the laptop is an Arch. Going over to Shellworld, no issue, but my LYNX is much later. Also, while L Y N X is hanging, I looked at processes, notice 2 are running for lynx. This also seems strange. I even wondered if there were a daemon which I needed to start. At first, it was mostly cordcuttersnews.com but now, almost any web request, but duckduckgo goes in a normal amount of time. Are their any obvious things we can try to trouble shoot this one? Thanks so much in advance Chime
[Lynx-dev] An Issue with Print Append?
Hi All: All-of-a-sudden my print menu, option6 append is broken. Now it hangs after "printing file, please wait" Something like append to file. At that point nothing will type except for controll+c. Even if I type a file name to append, it won't save. I am useing the latest Debian SID Lynx Version 2.9.0 (15 Jan 2024) libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, GNUTLS 3.8.3, ncurses 6.4.20240113(wide) Built on linux-gnu. Back again live. This is rather an inconvenience, as I save alot of news articles, appending as the day continues. Here seems to be the line in my lynx.cfg file DOWNLOADER:Append to a local file:/bin/echo -n "Append to filename\: "; read fn; csh -c "cat %s >> $fn":TRUE It feels like this just broke for me quite recently. Thanks so much in advance Chime

[Lynx-dev] Unable to Save Charactor Set Changes?
Hi All: Many times I am running lynx along with rdrview to get an article without a toolbar. On my local machine I get symbols such as ~B @D. To see a more normal view, I go in lynx options menu, search for utf, then arrow down to assumed document charactor set. I want utf-8 for this one as well, but it will only stay during a current session. Editing lynx.cfg in nano nor trying different cfg files, it still comes up as iso8859-1. I am running a latest Debian SID version, however, over on Shellworld running Lynx Version 2.9.0dev.10 (11 Aug 2021) On Shellworld its the set I want. Meanwhile here at home Lynx Version 2.9.0 (15 Jan 2024) I even coppied that Shellworld cfg and ran it locally, still not the charactor set I need. Can some1 please suggest how I can force that option to stay. Thanks so much in advance. Chime

Well, `thank you so much. While I know for you, that was a simple solution, it solved several major inconveniences. Seems each time I update and install manually, I have similar issues.

Re: [Lynx-dev] ANN: lynx2.9.0
Well, Thomas-and-All, I seemingly ran a successful install, however a number of my settings are gone. Looks like I am still useing a lynx.cfg of my own, but a remapping of extern page-and-link are mentioned in errors. Also, viewing pages with a "v" from Alpine didn't like "nested tables" But the worst, it won't load pages with an "ssl" You would think a newer install would check for these settings-and-not completely treat as a new install. Can folks please inform, how can I get things back to normal? O, this is Debian SID. Thanks so much in advance. Chime

Hi Karen: 1 of my Linux experts setup Alpine with fastmail. But, no, because fastmail is rather graphical, I cannot go in-and-ajust anything. Even my hosted web-site, I have no idea of finding out a quota of space, so I upload a file, if it completes, I am lucky. Chime

[Lynx-dev] Links Disappearing from BookMark File?

Has any1 else ever had this happen-and-are their solutions? I am running a January 2023 Debian SID version. Thanks so much in advance.

Thank you Tomas. That .h2 item was not in my lynx.cfg, so I pasted in your instructions. But after that, can I define a command for deleting files?

[Lynx-dev] Deleting Local Files to trash?
Hi All: After several accidental deletions of file I wish I had again, I had a set of great advice on another blind Linux list. There are at least 2 trash programs which work quite well. So I have a "del" aliased to /usr/bin/trash-put. However, when I am viewing a local directory from LYNX, if I either manually delete or tags items to get rid of, I suppose these are done with an rm command? Would I need another alias to have these files also endup in trash until I empty them? I am accessing these with lynx . Or would I add something in lynx.cfg? Thanks so much in advance Chime
Re: [Lynx-dev] Playing dot mkv files in LYNX?

Hi All: This seems to be happening more than I would like!

I did contact dvids support, who asked for a screeen shot. But in trying to contact cloudfront, not only are they saying support for IE ended on July 30, but without java I cannot submit a ticket.

Thank you Karen for a tarific article. 2 things jump out at me. First, in none of those interviews do they mention which browsers are being used, but I imagine they would be all graphical or in windows? 2nd, the requirement to include javascript. Obviously we know, for us, who enjoy L Y N X, this is a problem with no solution, other than for lynx to eventually have some way of dealing with it. Otherwise, for those of us who enjoy text browser, an Internet experience will just be either a fond memory of the 1990s or a continuing frustration. Chime

Re: [Lynx-dev] Why Won't this Site Work in LYNX?
Well, Karen, I certainly agree, figuring out some seemless way of processing sites would be wonderful. I mean as we've discussed on this list, there are sites I go to nearly each day which have that 403 error, so I either run an L Y N X external or just see a blank page-and-go in an options menu-and-uncheck the user agent box. I shouldn't have to do all of that. Now to answer your question, wget is mostly used to grab files which begin with http. wget had an easier time with that article, so I processed it locally. Chime
Re: [Lynx-dev] Why Won't this Site Work in LYNX?
Well, thanks Karen, I've always had issues understanding links and elinks. Meanwhile, I did finally have some success the long way around. I ran wget with that url, changed the name from index.html.1 to gri.html. Then I ran rdrview -b lynx gri.html which gave me a clear 52 lines of an article without any tool bars. The funny thing was that wget would even grab that story. Now, I am wondering if adding wget as an external in LYNX would help? Chime
Re: [Lynx-dev] Why Won't this Site Work in LYNX?

[Lynx-dev] Why Won't this Site Work in LYNX?
Hi All: 1 of my google news-alerts pointed me to an article which first gave me a 403 error, but even after ajusting an option for user agent, still says "cannot connect" This does work in elinks, also LINKS, and w3m. However, what else I am not understanding. In w3m there are maybe 171 lines on 1 page, while both other browsers have at least 2 pages. I have my screen set at 180lines by 270 columns. Here is an url https://globalriskinsights.com/2022/05/the-russo-ukrainian-war-and-nagorno-karabakhs-faltering-ceasefire/ I would rather access this in L Y N X as I better understand how to save files.

Thank you Mouse for examining. I did write my contact at that site. At the time I figured it had changed recently, but actually it were the LYNX changes on Shellworld.

Well, just like back in July, this whole ssl thing has bit me again. After reading Jude-and-Tomas replies, I ran their options, but then I noticed when running which lynx on consoles which were run after a "rehash" says /usr/local/bin/lynx. Meanwhile other consoles here in TCSH Debian Sid say /usr/bin/lynx So when running lynx from a command-prompt, I not only receive an ssl error, but my externals are not working. However, as alpine calls lynx from /usr/bin/lynxshould I just run sudo cp /usr/local/bin/lynx /usr/bin/lynx As an opinion, I would think an install should respect if ssl was already working.

I understood the reason Trizen made other similar players had to do with an API expiring. And, not to blow my own horn, I had suggested-and-now in youtube-viewer, we have a favorites list, you create-and-access with -fc but when displaying your favorite list of channels, it will show the channel names from youtube, not the nicknames you write in the config. I want to suggest an option to list either how many total videos in a user or number of pages. Chime

Hi Jude-and-All: Jude, first of all, I am not familliar with "pipe-viewer"? I've tried straw-viewer-and-I use youtube-viewer several times a day.

In relation to the original question, there were at 1 time some accessibile web-sites where you could search or work with youtube videos.

Re: [Lynx-dev] help with ff.net.
Well, first of all, Karen, w3m is another text browser, but seldom have I ever had a site only work in it. We certainly have it on shellworld, but while there are certainly ways of configuring so you can tab around, I don't think you can number links. Now for at least 1year there is a site which I wish I could access, but it also has DOS protection, also Cloudflur. The site is www.radiodiscussions.com I wrote that site-and-he said he would look in to it, but while the trouble went away for a short time, its certainly been raging. Its one of the better radio forums-and-I hate having to bother friends of mine who are in windows to read me an index.

Re: [Lynx-dev] Hotkey Binding to Command with Current URL?

[Lynx-dev] Can I Set a User Agent for an Individual Site?
Hi All: There are at least 3 sites I visit frequently where I receive an anoying 403 error. So each time I go in options and uncheck the user agent box. Can some1 please inform, can I set these on a per site basis? 2 of the sites involved, radioinsight.com Meanwhile nationalinterest.org That one I encounter an error when reading an article. L I N K S doesn't seem to have this issue. Thanks so much in advance. Also, another site www.crisisgroup.org works in L I N K s but L Y N X receives a 504 gateway timeout.

Re: [Lynx-dev] online radio station playlist.
Wow Karen, that looks tricky. Sure link 12 is "recently played" but then link 96 is an option list, what some call a drop down, so you can select todays date from the list. Problem is the next link is javascript. There didn't seem to even be a place to force a submit. An only idea I have, if you go some where around link 99, there is a search box. Maybe there would be a phrase such as "4pm playlist september 29" I sincerely hope some1 else has a better solution for you Chime ___ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev

[Lynx-dev] Any Chance of a "reader mode" in LYNX?
Hi All: Well, now that it seems an `extreme number of sites have their printer friendly articles hidden in some sort of javascript, a good friend imformed me that Safari has a reader mode which strips all clutter, including toolbars. Wondering if something like that would be possible in Lynx? And if it were, I would still want to be able to save an article in that form. I have no idea which other browsers have these functions?

Re: [Lynx-dev] searching for videos on YouTube
Well Russ-and-All, there are 2 other alternative solutions which work for myself. #1 I would grab the latest version of Trizen's program, youtube-viewer which you can run from a commandline with a user or keyword. You receive a numbered list of results to download directly. #2 Setup youtube-viewer as an external in Lynx, so you can highlight an url and save to a shell or download directly. And obviously youtube-dl will grab exact urls. Chime ___ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
Re: [Lynx-dev] Any idea what one can do about the people who feel the need to block lynx
Hi Claudio: Just an opinion, but I think an Internet culture has gone far past our favorite friendly browsers. Yes its rather inconvenient when traveling to one of these sites with a 403 error, then having to go in an options menu and uncheck the user agent box, before submitting. Sure thats anoying, but these sites where you just get a blank page such as that of my Cable TV company at spectrum.net Or these sites like radiodiscussions.com which employ DOS cloud protection. Obviously there are millions of sites which either require javascript or make it hard to use without it. Its been many years since I was able to talk a webmaster in to restoring a printer friendly page at the BBC for one. Now, as so many of these web site owners are so hungup on javascript, their minds are made up. But almost as bad, its much more of a challenge to write, as "whois" will not show an exact contact. Obviously I wish you luck, but short of an FCC or Supreme Court intervention, we may be out of luck Chime ___ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
Re: [Lynx-dev] Downloading mp2 files
Well, while I cannot help with the core dump, I can suggest a couple of options about those mp2 files. You would probably need an entry in your mime types file so they handle them in a way you are used to. Next, at least for now, just highlight the file-and press a d to begin saving. When its finished, you can save it with either a different name or location. Chime ___ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev

[Lynx-dev] Extra blank Lines?
Hi All: Since I am more often running lynx on my local Debian machine with 2.9.0 dev5 instead of a 2.8.9 version on a remote shell-account. In the later Debian version, in some web-pages, I hear sometimes 5 or 6 consecutive blank lines, meanwhile an exact same page on a remote shell may only have 1 or none. Both lynx configs have trim blank lines as well as collapse br tags, but obviously on the later version, its not working well. I am mostly running Debian SID.

[Lynx-dev] Is Their a Way of Getting to spectrum dot net?
Hi All: These types of nag messages on sites, where they say you must upgrade to any of 5 browsers, well, www.spectrum.net is certainly one of these, no matter whether I try it with l y n x or e l i n k s, or even w3m. Same results, but I think there is a 302 moved involved. I am hoping there are "user agents" where I can fool this site in to displaying its contents. Thanks so much in advance.

Hi David-and-All, I just looked-and-there are around 22 user names here on Shellworld, including some with more than 1 account. Certainly an amount of annual income from even that many accounts is nothing to sneeze at. O-and-David, speaking of the Wayback Machine, I was never able to accomplish this in Lynx.
