Surfraw fails to open lynx

Hello,

I have just downloaded surfraw and have tried to use it. I think it is working since it does return a url. However, it seems that it does not know what browser to use to open that url. I have tried to change the config file at

/etc/xdg/surfraw/conf

to add

SURFRAW_text_browser /usr/bin/lynx

but it has not worked.

Thanks,

theFrog

Hi,

Problem solved. To solve this make sure to use the config at

/etc/xdg/surfraw/conf

at the start of the document change to this

defyn SURFRAW_graphical no

further down(a few lines)

def SURFRAW_text_browser /usr/bin/lynx

to set the text browser.

Thanks,

A clumsy frog
