And that is may be our culprit. You never told you were mixing Ubuntu's R and R from Anaconda. This is likely your issue. I don't use Anaconda myself, and this list is about helping you with the Ubuntu and Debian versions, including our backport. We can help with that. So for now I suggest 'hiding' anaconda -- maybe via cd; mv anaconda HIDDENanaconda and then trying R and RStudio.
