So I think you mentioned userland.app or something. Does that mean you're running all this on a mobile phone? Its wikipedia says "UserLAnd does not require a root account." That puts quite a new complexion on the thread here called "how disable apt downloads w/o sudo". It might be worth being a bit more revealing about the system that you're running so that you don't waste other people's time, and your own, with red herrings. Next, openbox. A couple of clicks gets me to: http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Getting_started which bears a link to: http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Autostart (in §Using Openbox without a desktop environment (The lightweight approach)). Have you read that? Our guesses based on a standard Debian configuration won't get you very far. It also has a section called "Starting Openbox without the graphical log in". Have you read that? You could save a lot of back and forth by posting more detail, and you'll get better advice before people give up bothering with your problem. So you run WPCleaner; I take it that is a graphical application. Are you running lynx to check that its display of some wiki conforms to expectations. Again, it might help to reveal this. > my cli: > jindam@localhost:~$ ls /etc/alternatives/*www*browser* > /etc/alternatives/gnome-www-browser > /etc/alternatives/www-browser > /etc/alternatives/www-browser.1.gz > /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser > jindam@localhost:~$ ls -al /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser > lrwxrwxrwx 1 jindam jindam 13 Sep 27 20:07 /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser -> > /usr/bin/lynx > jindam@localhost:~$ ls -al /etc/alternatives/gnome-www-browser > lrwxrwxrwx 1 jindam jindam 17 Sep 27 19:13 > /etc/alternatives/gnome-www-browser -> /usr/bin/palemoon > jindam@localhost:~$ ls -al $(which sensible-browser ) > -rwxr-xr-x 1 jindam jindam 1230 Jan 13 2021 /usr/bin/sensible-browser Cheers, David.
