Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: links2
Running "links2 -g" in the Linux console fails with the error message
"svgalib: cannot get I/O permissions". As I understand, this is because
programs that use vgalib require suid privileges. The file should be
given suid privileges:
sudo u+s $(which links2)
The file should have these privileges by default - that should be done
by the distribution.
Description: Ubuntu 7.04
Release: 7.04
links2 2.1pre26-4build1
** Affects: links2 (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
