Hi,
for what is the first argument in u[x,t] ??
You have only derivatives with respect to t
and it is an ordinary differential equation for
u[t]. But you gave not an intial condition
u[x,0]==0 *and* Derivative[0,1][u][x,0]==blubBlub
you gave D[u[L, 0], t] == 0 and this evaluates
to True, and Mathematica miss a second initial condition.
Regards
