Just as a note, i as well use ubuntu and it DOES NOT show those errors without coaxing it to show you what its doing, probably not very nice to assume the guy was just being dumb... so he had NOT seen those errors already.... this post with explinations of how its the SAME dialog problem but with different results under ubuntu actually HELPED me alot, and would probably help others too  

now could someone tell me exactly what package this Dialog thing is?? and why do i need it? what does it do?
