M41 & FBI image reader
What is a linux console

Is anyone running FBI using the M41 image?

I am using the following commands to try to display
a slideshow from a USB Lexar jump drive that has
multiple .jpeg images,

I click on the rxvt icon in the start panel.

mkdir /tmp/x
mount -t msdos /dev/sda1 /tmp/x (ls -a /tmp/x lists the images.)
fbi -ut 5 /dev/sda1 /tmp/x

This results in an error message "tty is not a linux console'

I've tried this same sequence from every terminal icon on the
M41 desktop.... I can't figure out how to get to the "linux console".

FWIW... Ive gone through the same sequence in a KNOPPIX desktop with
the identical bad results,

What is the magic command ???

Got the answer ... sort of.... from the author of FBI. Seems it MUST be run
from a "virtual console" The device name is /dev/sb0 in the FBI command. It now works for me in Knoppix .

Where can I find the known keymap for the "funny" buttons on an IA-1 ??

I had a similar problem... try going into true console mode. <Ctrl-Alt-BckSp> Then try running the command. It should work.

Thanks for the key sequence.... it worked for me....I really wish there was some sort of keymap available for us late-comers to the IA-1 scene. Thanks again.... one more baby step !!!

I prefer to use xv, which can display pictures on desktop background ...
Better to use in slideshow, and use the IA in a same time ...
