Arch Linux Wiki

I am not sure where to post this, but this seems like the least inappropriate place

AL Wiki doesn't work from Links (text web browser). E.g. trying to open:
http://wiki2.archlinux.org/index.php/HOWTOs
gives back the message:

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: file_passwd in /home/judd/public_html/lib/WikiUserNew.php on line 2122

It was a bit scarry for me, because I just installed AL with links as the only browser, and I couldn't access the documentation Luckily, pacman found lynx, so I was able to setup everything.

P.S. Just a note: AL is the best distro around, by far!

Works for me, the wiki's not always available for one reason or another, so I'd try again.  If it doesn't work in links at the same time it works in another browser, you might try reinstalling links.

Oh yeah, welcome to Arch!

I stand corrected. It does work if you open that URL directly, but, if you e.g. open www.archlinux.org, then go to Wiki, then "click" on HOWTOs, it will spit out that error.

Thanks for the welcome It's amazing how much I learned about Linux just installing everything today (it took me the whole day to get everything including xorg with gnome running, but most of it was xorg.conf - I hate that file  :evil: ). And now I have a lean mean Linux machine 

P.S. I don't use text browsers anyway, only during the installation
