It probably doesn't work on Ubuntu because Ubuntu's Tomcat distribution, unlike most, is installed with a sane security configuration. You can turn off security by setting

TOMCAT5_SECURITY=no

in the Tomcat startup script (/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 for Tomcat 5.5.) Another option is to set up a policy for Alfresco in /etc/tomcat5.5/policy.d that gives Alfresco extra permissions above the standard webapp, but I don't have experience with that. There's some documentation inside 99examples.policy.

I don't know that it will solve all your problems, but it might help.
