To clarify: this is probably a question of a security policy, as the web2py process, run as root, is trying to open a browser GUI and this fails.
You could run web2py as a regular user, I would actually recommend this approach. You'll probably need to chown the contents of /home/augusto/Downloads/web2py and all it's subdirectories to your regular user, as web2py already created some additional subdirectories and files in there as root. After that, just start web2py as you normally would, but under a regular user account.
