So, I've got Ubuntu Server 17.10 running with xorg and openbox and I've got this strange problem that I didnt have with my previous build using bspwm.
The problem is that I can't launch any app inside openbox except XTerm which opens normally.
But when I start any app with sudo, e.g. sudo gedit, it launches normally and any subsequent app will launch normally, even without sudo. So I only need to start one app with sudo and the rest will work just fine.
I get no output when I run them without sudo, no errors or anything so I dont know where to start looking...
Thanks for the help!
P.S. Its running in VirtualBox if it makes any difference...
