MinimServer launch problem

[raveydavey]

I have installed MinimServer on my Ubuntu PC. Problem is, although the startup command and the desktop shortcut are enabled, neither works. After much experimentation, it seems that the server needs root privilege to launch. At the command prompt I can navigate to the bin folder and enter sudo sh starti - this works but only under sudo. Similarly I can use a root file manager by entering sudo nautilus and double click on starti - this also works.

Once launched the server works perfectly.

All suggestions gratefully received ...
