I don't know how Ubuntu is set up, but there should be a
way to invoke xterm or rxvt.  These are examples of 
terminals for directly entering commands using the keyboard.
They are similar to the Microsoft "DOS Prompt" command window.
This link may be of help:

Once you find how to invoke xterm or rxvt, just enter "cinepaint &"
in the terminal window and cinepaint should execute.  You should
see a lot of text output in the terminal window as cinepaint comes up
and as various commands are executed within cinepaint itself.  Look for
any messages printed as cinepaint "vanishes" when you go to color
management.

I still don't know what this means.  Are you attempting to set CM preferences
through the "File -> Prefrences -> Color Management" menu?  Are you loading an
image with an embedded profile?  Please describe the steps that lead to the
fault.
