I'm runnning Mathematica 9 on Ubuntu 11.10. After installing CDF player I still have problem (most of time) with Manipulate. Only way I'm able to change value of a parameter is by manually entering a value into into an edit field (dragging the slider or pushing buttons doesn't work). Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong? (Even simple Manipulate[x, {x, 1, 5}] doesn't work properly.)

By way of an answer:
I had the same problem (but using Ubuntu 12.04/x86_64). In my case, I guess it was a configuration-problem, since restarting once with
mathematica -cleanStarthelped. Did you try that? – Dragos Mar 28 '13 at 0:13
The above answer solves the problem according to the OP:
Awesome @Dragos ! That fixed it. – ipy Apr 6 '13 at 17:23
One user has doubts:
I have the same issue.
mathematica -cleanStarthelps, but after some time the problem reappears. – Danvil May 10 '13 at 8:35
But the OP never returned to indicate there was a problem.

I had some trouble with this and I believe it was because I was using Open JDK. I switched to the official Oracle JDK and that seemed to fix the problem. However, now that I'm running Fedora 19 with OpenJDK 1.7.0_60 Runtime Environment (fedora-2.4.2.0.fc19-x86_64) I don't see this problem, at least not often. So it might simply go away if you install Oracle's Java or upgrade to a more recent version of Ubuntu with a newer openjdk.
