[SOLVED] How to show images in lynx?

Miter_J · 03-17-2011, 09:14 PM

I'm using slackware's text interface (no GUI). And I'm using lynx to surf the internet, but right now I cannot see the images.

Anyone knows how to enable lynx to show the images?

Lynx is a text only browser.

if you mean as part of the web page - than from what i understand, you can't.

here you go : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_%28web_browser%29

Quote:

Lynx cannot inherently display various types of non-text content on the web, such as images and video,[2] but it can launch external programs to handle it, such as an image viewer or a video player.

but is there a lynx like browser which runs on a terminal and also view images.. i would love it if the pages are displayed normally like how its seen on normal browsers..

i seriously doubt but:
a. you can look into designing one
b. check into nvidia's codecs - ( i vaguely) remember that it can play video in terminal . ( but maybe i was drinking that night %) ).
