Thank you utechner for your reply. But I am posting a reply to my earlier message as I seem to have solved the problem.
I found a Ubuntu apps page which had a download for ipython with qtconsole. I used Software center (Ubuntu 12.04) to install it. Somehow that got spyder to start! Now in spyder I get BOTH Console and iPython console. :-) Uncheck what you don't want and check what you want in their respective Settings and "Voila!".
