I don't have access to that OS, so I may not be able to
help, but there are some tests you can do that might throw
some light on the problem:
- Do the small and/or big tiles work okay?
- Are you using gtkhack (do you get a dialog when you start
the game asking you which server to connect to)?
- If you are using gtkhack, is the server you're using local
to your machine or a remote server?
- If local, does the x11big3dtiles file exist? How big is it?
- If remote, can other people use pseudo-3d tiles with that
server? If not, have you asked the server admins to check
the file?

Okay (I'm assuming that small and big tiles produce the same
error message).
Can you find the x11big3dtiles file? I know that Ubuntu is
based on debian so there must be a means of listing the
files contained in the slashem-core and slashem-gtk
packages, but I don't know what it is. Failing that "locate
x11big3dtiles" might suffice.
If you can find it, then try "ls -l x11big3dtiles" to see
how big it is, "file x11big3dtiles" to see what format magic
thinks it's in and an image viewer such as gimp or kview to
see if they can display.
The "Image has zero width" error message is from the
Ms-Windows bitmap loader. This would suggest that the Ubuntu
package you're using is (a) using Ms-Windows bitmap format
for tiles and (b) is producing tile files which contain no
tiles thus leading to images of 0 by 0 pixels. While
possible, this does seem a little surprising.

Sounds like there's a problem with the tile file then. Both
gimp and SlashEM's gtk interface use gdk-pixbuf to load
images. This supports tga files, but probably not all
possible sub-formats. It sounds like the file is either
corrupted (odd that it would affect all the tile files) or
that it's using a tga sub-format that gdk-pixbuf doesn't
support. In either case, I think you need to log this with
the Ubuntu guys.

I don't use gthack and small or big tiles don't work too.

It's 4,1 MB big, Ubuntu thinks, it's an Truevision-Targa-Picture and The GIMP
can't open it

It seems this is Ubuntu bug #1606:
