[Coco] Drivewire and Ubuntu

[CoCoList for Color Computer Enthusiasts]

ok this avoids the crash, but complains that no brower can be open and
disables it.

How to turn back this option?

Then after updating DW, restarting I get back the

java.lang.NullPointerException

That will only disappear running as sudo.
