Given your report it seems likely that the problem exists only in version 2.11.2 and not in 2.10.11 (the Karmic version). Due to problems with the 2.11.2 version it was decided to "downgrade" the version in Lucid to 2.10.11, so your problem might no longer exist if you upgrade your system. Could you retry with the current version?
