I have noticed that multiple dmods consistently crash on certain occasions. The window suddenly closes and I get the message "Dink Smallwood ('dink') was not found on your computer. Please configure the Dink program name in the Options menu."

The two exact cases I can remember are:
The Escape: At the beginning where you are leaving the cave the pig ran away to, when you are two lines into the dialogue about finding the librarians notes at the exit.
The Cast Awakening Part 1: Initiation: When you feed the carrot to Thumper, the crash occurs right after he leaves the screen:

I am using Dink on Ubuntu (Linux) and I don't really know if it's a scripting change the d-mods haven't updated to or something else.

Let me heat that up for you... 
Are you using FreeDink, or are you running Dink in Wine or another windows emulator/virtual machine?

(Nobody is gonna care about this crap anyway, so I might as well change it.)

Get the latest version if you havn't already, and do a search for "dink not found" using the sites search box, and check out them threads. It is actually quite a common error.

yes it was discussed before, apparently Beuc had already fixed it but the Ubuntu repository houses an old version
use freedink.org repository
deb http://www.freedink.org/releases/debian/ ./
