No Shortcuts in Linux!?!?

Hello:
Got an old LapTop and decided to make a small instalation of Linux in order to have a dedicated OS to run DLight, to achieve that i've decided to install a command line Ubuntu, FluxBox window manager and all the other things i needed to make DLight run (libXss,alsa,etc).
After that gave my user the permissions needed to acess USB and MIDI, almost everything worked out of the box (still having some problems with mounting CD & USB PenDrives), but what's really killing me is that when i launch DL with SUDO it all goes well, with the obvious exception that OLA Server doesn't start, but when lauched as a regular user there aren't no Shortcuts and i'm not able to create my own!
Does anyone have a solution? It's for sure a matter of User permission... But which one?
It would be great if anyone could help me!
Thank you all in advance!

Hi Daniel,
how did you install the libxml2?
does it belongs to USER group? because writing shortcuts (among almost everything) rely on libxml2.
after for the OLA stuff, it would be great if you report more errors in order to improve the mechanism.

Hi Nico:
The only package i needed to instal in order to get DL running was libxss1, and alsa to get the midi working and add my user to audio group to access MIDI.
What is the group i should add my user in order to access Libxml? (I'm sure that will solve the problem!)
Regarding OLA, is not a error:

How to start olad

For testing run olad in non-forking, log to stdout, debug level 3:

olad -l 3

olad refuses to run as root.

As soon i fix the libxml problem, or other i'll be playing around with OLA and if any errors appears i'll tell you!

Thanks!

Daniel,
does this happen only with shotcuts?
if yes, it's not a libxml2 issue. if it were, you will not be able to have midi binding, neither any kind of cue or whatever.

there's is a tricky bug with shortcut window (that is fixed in the upcomming beta) that prevent to record any shortcut once you hit the 'Tab' button.

also did you do:
sudo apt-get install xorg-devel

Hi Nico:
I can connect MIDI controls but when exiting i got errors and the MIDI commands are lost!
I didn't install xorg-dev but installing it didn't solve the problem!
It must be a user permission problem because running: Everything works ok, running as my regular user when it starts i get the error: 36 times.

can you try to copy the DL distro on the desktop and try to launch it from there.
example (just to show you the PATH
sh /home/users/daniel/Desktop/DL/DL.sh

Hi:
It is the same.... I got DL error :
Shortcut doesn't exist!
And the same 30 I/O error!

Can someone on linux issue this on a terminal and tell me what grops they belong to? Thanks!

don't u have a user name with some strange char inside?

DL relies on the user HOME variable.
what's the result of :
echo "$HOME"

Hi:
No my user name is:dlight
and the result is:
/home/dlight!

and you try to start DL wich is in a directory that belong to /home/dlight, right?

yes, it is in:
/home/dlight/DLight-32-Linux/

just for the fun, don't you wanna try:
export PATH=${PATH}:/home/dlight/DLight-32-Linux/bin

and launch DL again.

and to answer your cat question, here's mine

It's the same errors!Your output is very similar to mine, so it seems it is not a question of permission!

nope...
at launch DL attempt to create a .DLightWorkingSho folder in the $HOME directory.
so in your case, that mean in /home/daniel/.DlightWorkingSho

if you display hidden files, do you see this folder?
does it have read/write permissions?
