Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Since it seems likely to me that this is a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I'm marking this bug as Incomplete.

Or if you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://
