New Staff Reply: TV screen not working on Ubuntu 1104

I polled the aips community and here are a few of the responses:

One user writes and at least one other says:

I am using Ubuntu 11.04 and my AIPS XAS seems to work okay. I
installed AIPS under an earlier version of Ubuntu, and recently
upgraded to 11.04. I just checked quickly with VPLOT and IBLED and
both seem to be working fine for me on this distribution.

A system manager points out:

In 11.04 they've switched the default desktop to Unity and Wayland; no
more X windows.  I'm told you can revert these and that X11 (with Gnome
or KDE as usual) is still there but it's just not the default anymore.
Maybe that's what's hitting some people.

And this may be the solution:

With test on Ubuntu 11.04 the problem appears to be generated by the
new gnome desktop manager, when XAS starts the icon to bring up the
windows does not appears (ALT-TAB shows the icons) . Using xfce4 this
problem disappears.

Perhaps this will help.
