hello debian-users, good morning !?!?!
i have installed debian bullseye on userland app. i have disabled recomnend packages for my entire packages. i have installed openbox. when i click "web browser" it does not launch "lynx browser". i have changed x-www-browser to lynx. how do i configure my system to use lynx browser for html files, open links, open in external viewer, etc..? $sudo update-alternatives --config www-browser There is only one alternative in link group www-browser (providing /usr/bin/www-browser): /usr/bin/lynx Nothing to configure. $ update-alternatives --list x-www-browser /usr/bin/lynx /usr/bin/palemoon $ update-alternatives --get-selections | grep browser gnome-www-browser auto /usr/bin/palemoon www-browser auto /usr/bin/lynx x-www-browser auto /usr/bin/lynx $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-www-browser x-www-browser /usr/bin/lynx 50 update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/lynx to provide /usr/bin/x-www-browser (x-www-browser) in auto mode jindam@localhost:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser There are 2 choices for the alternative x-www-browser (providing /usr/bin/x-www-browser). Selection Path Priority Status ------------------------------------------------------------ * 0 /usr/bin/lynx 50 auto mode 1 /usr/bin/lynx 50 manual mode 2 /usr/bin/palemoon 40 manual mode p.s. * after reading couple of online resources, i thought best to ask here, bcoz update-alternatives seems to be debian way * i did ask @ https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/how-do-i-configure-lynx-browser-as-default-browser-for-all-html-related-things-4175717193/ regards, jindam, vani toots: @jindam_v...@c.im others: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jindam_vani
