framebuffer?

[anonimo82]

Hello again. How can I use framebuffer powered applications, such as fbi image viewer? Edit: I tried installing xserver-xorg-video-fbdev

Thanks for any help.

I don't see why it would not work, but that ought to be done using a distribution container - I cannot speak for termux-only application repacks or their behavior.

That's a Debian package, fbi, a Framebuffer image viewer. This is the output of trying to open it:

I'm inside a Dextop container

Here there are info about fbi:

Try running the command with 'sudo' - fbi requires ioctl control access through /dev/fb0

You may want to explicitate the device to run fbi through as well

See here: fbi over ssh

Uhm, I don't have device /dev/fb0 and running commands suggested in your link didn't work, unfortunately. I can't right now, but I'll upload the exact error I get ASAP.

Thanks for your time and your help by the way.

[anonimo82]

Note I issued both suggested commands, both with and without sudo. I also did ls /dev/fb0 with no luck, and tried the method suggested in the first StackExchange post.

Still no luck )=

I'd like to try something different. How can I connect my Termux instance with Telnet/SSH/or so?

Your question pertains to basic network connectivity usage. Please do a quick google search on the topic as it is not directly relevant to the Dextop project. I'm sure this has been asked many times over.

Yes, sorry. =)
