Error with "seejpeg".
 

Okay, I have noticed something very annoying. Whenever I want to view a picture I need to use "seejpeg" as root. This sort of sucks. This is the error that my box is spitting out after I type something like "seejpeg karen.jpeg" as a normal user...

svgalib: Cannot get I/O permissions.

I don't know what this is exactly. I am afraid to screw up my system by screwing with it to find out. If anyone knows how I can get this to work properly please tell me!

Thanks! :)

I've never used seejpeg (I'm using fbi in consoles
and display in X) ... but you could have a look at
/etc/vga/libvga.config
Try setting the chipset to FBdev

Just a wild guess, I have NO idea how svgalib
actually works...

I can't say I've ever knowingly used that program. I use gqview, which I find is very nice and friendly. Perhaps you could try using that, and see if you get the same errors?

permissions
 

your seejpeg apparently needs to be run as root. try that. are you running no X

You need to set the sticky bit on seejpeg. As root,
Those are backticks by the way, key left of 1. You'll also need to add your self to the tty group. Open up /etc/group, and put your username next to tty.
Finally, make sure /dev/fb0 has the right permissions. As root,
