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.
