Comment 3 for bug 1807617

Hi Ryan,
that actually sounds more like a desktop file association issue hearing what it opens.

When in w3m what does your setting say.
"o" gets you to the option screen
select "External Viewer Setup" at the top

I see images formats by default (after installing w3m-img and feh) as:
feh '%s'; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" ; description=...

I was trying to use that, but other than stopping my X11 session to death it gave me nothing.

$ sudo apt install w3m w3m-img feh
$ w3m -o auto_image=TRUE https://www.ubuntu.com/

Could you outline how exactly you are using w3m in your case?
- to configure it to show images?
- to use feh as image viewer?

Note: w3m-img and feh are both in universe
