Elinks for suse 121/4/2024 ![]() Raggle has a clean and intuitive interface, is fast and takes up almost no memory. Unfortunately neither Google Reader nor Bloglines works in elinks (or for that matter any text based browser) so we have to rely on local clients if we want to survive without X. If you are like me, you subscribe to way to many RSS feeds. I don’t use irc that much, so I can’t tell you how good it is, but it seems perfectly functional – especially if you are a hard core irc junky. It is a bare bones but full featured client. Of course if you want full blown IRC support, there is probably no better client than irssi: Naim is a little bit funky but once you get used to it just works. If you are on AIM, then naim will probably be the tool for you: For example, if you are a GTalk user I can recommend the excellent Freetalk which I covered before: There is also Pine which is a damn fine mail client too – if you can deal with editing your messages in pico.Ĭhatting without X is pretty easy. I previously covered Mutt several times, showing you how to set it up for IMAP and how to send out emails without full blown sendmail or exim setup just using basic SSMTP. Neat, eh? For everything else there is Mutt: Google has a javascript-less version of their interface which actually works beautifully in elinks: If you are a gmail user like me, you are in luck. There also seems to be a framebuffer browser out there called Zen but it is a bit unstable no longer in active development. Of course you can also use Lynx, Links, or w3m but in my experience elinks beats all of them hands down. Why elinks? Because it supports both frames and tables, displays nice colorful output, and works great with mouse. There are quite a few text browsers out there but I will recommend one: The good news is, that most of the AJAX heavy web-pages now have mobile versions which are surprisingly text-browser friendly. You will be limited to text browsers, which generally do not support CSS and do not play nice with AJAX. The biggest problem in living without X is web browsing. If I’m missing something, or if I omitted some cool applications please let me know. ![]() I will break them down into categories so that we can cover all the bases. I was inspired by this post on Motho ke motho ka botho and decided to compile a list of useful command line applications myself. There is no reason why you shouldn’t be able look up stuff online, read your email, look at pictures, watch movies and listen to music as you are trying to configure X. ![]() If you have questions or need help, create a support request, or ask Azure community support.Would you be able to survive one full day without using the X server? Linux offers us a wide assortment of CLI based tools which use curses and/or framebuffer for functional user interfaces.

For Generation 2 VM, it might be stuck on the "reboot: Restarting system" screen. This process should take about 15-45 minutes. You will see that the system stops at "reboot: Restarting system". Go to the Azure portal, select the VM, and then select Serial console. zypper install suse-migration-sle15-activationĪfter the installation is finished, run the reboot command to restart the VM.

Make sure that the version is SUSE 12 SP4 or SUSE 12 SP5. Install the latest package for the VM: zypper clean -allĪfter the installation is finished, restart the VM. Upgrade from SUSE 12 SP4 or SP5 to SUSE 15 SP1
