This sounds similar to this question. Try the troubleshooting steps linked there.

Generally, this "BadDrawable" error is related to either your GPU being too old to run rviz or a problem with the driver. Since you say it starts okay on newer versions of Ubuntu, my guess would be that the driver for your GPU included in the kernel used in 10.04 has a bug that was fixed in newer versions of Ubuntu.
