Hi,
I'm trying to use fbi on st but I have an error :
using "DejaVu Sans Mono-16", pixelsize=16.67 file=/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSansMono.ttf
ioctl VT_GETSTATE: Inappropriate ioctl for device (not a linux console?)
Looking for solution, I've found that my user should be in video group so fbi have access to /dev/fb0. I've added my user to the video group but it did nothing.
I've tried using fbi with sudo but it did nothing more.
I have this error only with st (on tty1 with graphic interface). fbi works fine on tty2+ (tty without graphic interface).
I've tried with other terminal emulator (xterm and urxvt), with the same result as with st.
Is there a way to make fbi works with st ?
Thank you for your answers.

fbi outputs directly to the framebuffer, it works *only* without a graphic interface. That's the whole point of it. It's not meant to run in terminal emulators.

ok, I had not understood that.
Off-topic : I'm trying to find a way to display pdf, images ... in the neovim terminal (just for "fun", not to do something usefull).
Anyway, thank you for your answer.

Edit the title of your first post.
How to post. A sincere effort to use modest and proper language and grammar is a sign of respect toward the community.

For images, try the w3m browser. Yeah it's a web browser, not an image viewer, but it's capable of showing images in a terminal emulator. For pdf, no idea.
