AIPS no TV but TEKSRV & MSGSRV work (solved troubleshooting)

After I installed UBUNTU 11.10 in Samsung Laptop RC418 core i5 and NVIDIA optimus graphic inside. I tried to install AIPS software and found that TV wouldn't work properly as shown below;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     max grey level 8191 in 16 grey-scale memories
MakeLink: bind error (INET): Address family not supported by protocol
TVSERVER told to shut down by XAS
XAS: Quitting NOW.
AIPS 1: You are assigned TV device/server   1
AIPS 1: You are assigned graphics device/server   1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

therefore I have tried to solve the problem by using the command;
aips tv=local
before starting aips software.
It should be work and show the messages somethings like this;
