Hi!

It could be a problem with permissions, as you are trying to access the keyboard. This might require root permissions, and thus not work when you run it as user.

You can try launching the node as root by looking at this question.

Anyway, the traceback you posted is not very explicative about the issue, so including the log file may help.
