This all looks good - I guess I have to ask what windowing system you 
are using.  It appears that in Ubuntu 11.04 X-Windows is no longer the 
default.  It can be selected from some pull-down menus or other set-up 
commands.  XAS works only in a X-Windows environment.  I recently 
changed XAS to start open rather than in icon form, but the TEK server 
always starts in icon form and has no need to leave that form.  Run a 
TKPL and see if a 2nd TekServer window appears with the plot.

Another thing to check is a ps -elf in a separate window to see if XAS 
and TEKSRV are running.

What happens when you give the command TVINIT?
