Another failure of Ubuntu 8.10,   they forgot to include the /etc/X11/rgb.txt file. All of the symlinks on the filesystem that refer to that file still exist, but not the file itself.  This gives TK applications, like crossover office and wish, all sorts of trouble and will give you odd errors like the “Black” error. To fix it, download the rgb.txt file from here,  put it in /etc/X11 and log out of X windows.  I’m giving ubuntu one last shot before I kick it to the curb.
