Hm.
I upgraded a few (older, less used) machines at home on the weekend, and had
no issues. But I didn't try R.
I updated a laptop to trusty and added the RRutter Launchpad PPA.
Downloaded R and it ran fine. So, I would try that repository to see if
it fixes the issue (https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/rrutter).
Since the PPA feeds CRAN, there should be no difference but you never know.
A couple of questions.
1. Did you do a fresh install or an upgrade of Ubuntu?
2. Are you using any of the non-standard libraries like OpenBLAS?
3. 32 or 64 bit Ubuntu?
This is the first I have heard of the issue for Trusty. Not sure shy
the Debian package works and not the I built. Another suggestion would
be use the version of R from the Ubuntu repository (remove any new
sources) and see if that works.
Hope this helps,
Michael
