Hi R basic packages always works fine in my laptop (also ubuntu), you don't need to reinstall anything once you installed the package, did you do that in your terminal like $R (enter R session) >install.packages('package name') >q()
then everytime you enter the R session, you just library('package name'), that should work... I don't know if it is sth about user privilege , do you use R on your own computer or on other servers?
