REPOST: Problem in Preflight Check with commands.cfg

[Gabriel - IP Guys]

I would suggest that you install version 2.6 on ubuntu, and then upgrade
through the versions. It will take some time, but jumping from 2.6 to
3.0.6 is asking for issues. There are just too many things that have
changed. Besides, it will also teach you about the upgrade process :)
