The file in the workaround does not exist. In Lucid, apparently, that file has been judged obsolete and been removed. There's probably a file which does the same, or some other workaround that will do this every boot.

I attached an .sh file for the convenience, and I changed 'sudo' to 'gksudo' so you'll get a graphical interface question for the root password instead of a commandline version. You can download it in your /home directory, and make it run every boot by going to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications and click on 'Add'. Type anything in the name section, and type this command in the command section: sh ~/workaround.sh

I don't know whether this works though. I don't have this bug anymore for some strange reason (without workaround). So I can't test it... And again, the workaround is not mine.
