ELinka freezes when surfing to a PDF document

[aelmahmoudy]

When I surf (for example press on a link to) a PDF documentm ELinks freezes, and can only be ended with KILL signal

That doesn't happen with binary files such as MP3 for example.

@aelmahmoudy are you using mailcap or other handler method?
What is there? Which program is set for viewing pdfs?

[aelmahmoudy]

Here are the PDF entries in /etc/mailcap: ``` application/pdf; ebook-viewer %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" application/pdf; calibre %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" image/pdf; /usr/bin/display-im6.q16 -nostdin %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" image/pdf; display-im6.q16 pdf:%s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" ``` Note that the DISPLAY env var isn't set. Thougj I noticed in one instance that xdg-open is running indeed.

Though I noticed in one instance that xdg-open is running indeed.

I tried again, and there are no xdg-open processes (or any other process from that terminal, other than the parent shell) running

I confirm. If none mailcap entry matches criteria, it hangs. 0.18.0 showed dialog "what to do?".
I'll git-bisect later.

Thanks, for noticing this.
