After some trial and error I've come to realize Ubuntu doesn't support ootp. This recent thread supports my own experience....

Even trying earlier releases 14.04 and 12.04 had no results. I found linux mint 18 works but the formatting is off. If I want to click an option for anything it's actually off kilter, like I have to click the next option below... it's super weird and annoying. Is anyone running another distro that works great with no problems?
