how to run 4.4.5 personal under Ubuntu?

I just wanted to try 4.4.5 under Ubuntu Linux (newest version). I downloaded the two shell scripts and the two tars, the installation itself ran without any problems. But when I want to run it, then it does not do what I want. It loads the splash-screen and immediately hangs. The Lisp Monitor appears and I can "Interrupt Lisp". After some seconds I get the debugger (all these windows appear, so it is not completely broken). I get a message telling me: Warning: (Xt Warning) Actions not found: TextInputPaneCompleteText X ERROR Display: #<X-LIBRARY:DISPLAY ":0.0" = #x08070C90> Error: BadName (named color or font does not exist) Major opcode of failed request: 45 (X_OpenFont) I looked into ftp://ftp.lispworks.com/pub/software_tools/reference/lw445/readme-4-4-5.pdf under troubleshooting and found a few words about the file located in /usr/local/lib/LispWorksPersonal/lib/4-4-0-0/app-defaults/Lispworks I suppose the errors have to do with fonts and/or colors. At the bottom of this file I found the entry *.maxDefaultColormapColors: 50 which I then set to 10, but it did not help. About fonts I could not find anything special in this file that might help me.

Hi André,

 Which version of Ubuntu are you running (sorry I have no idea what newest is),
 because I've had no problems running 4.4.5 on Warty.

 I'd also suggest moving the app-defaults file away and restarting lispworks
 since it's quite possible that it's asking for a font that the base 
 distribution doesn't have.

Regards 
  Sean.
