Alexis Guerrero, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Quantal Quetzal.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please do steps 1 and 2 of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.
