Thanks a lot for all these hints, Randy.
I'll try xubuntu 14. LTS.
The "ubuntugis" team currently proposes QGIS 1.8 as a stable version
(PPA or Personal Package Archives) (QGIS 2.0 is proposed as current
version but not for (x)ubuntu 14).
Unfortunately, the stable PPA's are only available for former versions
of (x)ubuntu (12 LTS), 13.). Now, former versions of (x)Ubuntu seem to
be no longer available for download.
Rolling back to a former version of QGIS in Linux (x)ubuntu current
release seems to be rather tricky (it is much easier in Windows thanks
to OSGEO4W, a very versatile tool). Is there a not too complicated way
to do it?
Your guess is right, Randy: dual boot on a spare PC, alongside Win XP
(kept in case e.g.of missing a linux driver for the Canoscan scanner).
Both boot partitions are on the same HD, data's are on a second HD.
Thanks in advance to anyone giving a suggestion about a stable
combination (s)Ubuntu/QGIS?

Mine was actually working quite well before the message about
upgrading. I did the upgrade on a test machine - so my main
workstation is working happily along. I'm actually using it now to
finish up one forestry project.
As far as Operating systems - Try Xubuntu. It's a lot less resource
heavy and that's what I've been running for several years and am quite
happy with it. I tend to drift about once a year and trying something
different but come back to it after a while. Unity (while enticing) is
uses way to much memory for my inner happiness.
It almost sounds like an operating system issue vs QGIS.....or there
is some corruption or something happening during the install. I assume
since you are using NTFS you are dual booting? Or I guess I should say
dual partitions?

Hi Randy,
Your message came when I was about to send a message explaining my
problems.
Using QGIS 2.2+Grass on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, installed in accordance
with the instructions given on the "alldownloads.html" page on qis.org.
At first, it worked very well. QGIS could even open a project file
which didn't open on another computer.
After several boots, Ubuntu began to display an internal error
message, than it hanged on next reboot, displaying "running in low
graphics mode" (the graphic card is in the chipset: "Intel(R) 82945G
Express Chipset Family").
After reinstallation of Ubuntu and QGIS, QGIS 2.2 opened the project
file but could not load the layers.
In fact, it adds "1" to the partition name (in this case the NTFS
partition named "R3SERVE" becomes "R3SERVE1") and whence it doesn't
recognise the path. A weird behaviour since Ubuntu still displays the
correct name "R3SERVE"!
Here is a sample (I deleted several lines) of the messages displayed
in "Terminal":
------------------------------------------------------------------

Besides after reboot, Ubuntu displays again an internal error
problem. I suppose it is going to hang again on the next reboots.
Hope this helps,
Paul

For those of you on Ubuntu 14.04 running qgis from the repo: deb
http://qgis.org/debian trusty main - you will be getting an upgrade
notice from the software update application (ubuntu and xubuntu) on
upgrading qgis. I would hold off just a bit - I upgraded and there
are some compatibilities issues that kill your install of qgis.
