I know you've gotten a lot of responses already from people who (unlike me) understand what's going on. I also know you are now pursuing LibreCAD. You mentioned that you've seen lots of comments on other boards regarding this problem. Perhaps there's one angle you didn't pursue. Did you search: draftsight ubuntu "64-bit"?
