Maybe try a different URL, like
http://localhost/username/drupal-6.14
or
http://localhost/drupal-6.14

I really am not sure on this. I would check on Ubuntu forum and see if they might know. I have Ubuntu also, but I'm not that informed with it because I don't use it much, mostly xp box.

Have a look at this post, may be the trouble.

Talks about:

>this will usually happen when you accidentally left a blank space before <?php in any file. check for this.

But i did not edited php file by hand.

Is a new installation. is possible to happen?

Some errors will trigger additional errors when the actual problem is the first error.
You are using xamp, and a different version of xamp may be the answer.
I don't use xamp on Ubuntu since it is Linux and will serve http with added packages from Ubuntu.
On XP, I use wamp because it is just easier than xamp.

I didn't think to ask about what version of PHP your running.. If it's 5.3, downgrade to 5.2*

Sorry, I forgot to put the specifications:
I have installed XAMPP1.7.2 and Drupall 6.14 in my Ubuntu Jaunty

I have tried to find an older version of the XAMPP package, expecting to get and older version of PHP that way, but had no luck...
I wouldn't know how to change my PHP version in any other way... could you help me with that?
thanks a lot

xamp 1.72 has PHP5.3

http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampbase/files/
What you need is xamp 1.71, has PHP 5.29

Source forge is a crappy place for getting specs on the downloads.
It was great over a year ago, but since they changed, it just isn't what it was.

I don't have an Ubuntu machine to test with right now, my video card burned out.. It will be a few days before the new gets here.
Maybe try this set up from Lullabot

yes, your problem is because of PHP version. Use 5.2.X version and your problem will be solved.
