Mathematica 6 & Ubuntu 8.04

[minollo]

Hi!
There are some known issues that make Mathematica 6 not running on Ubuntu 8.04?
I installed it - apparently without problems - but when I run it ... all my X session crashes and I come back at the login screen!!!

Any help is gratefully acknowledged.
Thanks in advance.

Are you running Mathematica via Wine or the Linux version?

No wine, it's the linux version.
The problem is related to the server X because the mathematica kernel (the "math" command) works.

Try
mathematica -defaultvisual

instead of just mathematica at the terminal.

I tried but unfortunately without any success! :(:(:(

You could try

env XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 mathematica

[minollo]

Nothing! I get always the crash of the server X! :(

Well this is about Mathematica 7 and ubuntu 10.04.

I installed it correctly as the Math command works .
But it did not work in GUI.
So I tried the
env XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 mathematica
But it starts with a segmentation fault and works.

Do I always have to start it this way?
