I'm on Debian here, and (given the right PYTHONPATH and LD_LIBRARY path are correct), your code works for me. Here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.qgis.devel/34478 Martin tells something about the differences between the inits of qgis. Setting the DISPLAY to "" as you do is actually setting it to NONE! If you are in a X-session you should not need to set this. If you are running it on a headless server, then it is possible you do not have X. Are you sure ubuntu is actually running X? Wasn't ubuntu busy with trying to make something else instead of X, mir or so? Can you try it on another machine?
