Problem with balance sheet and transaction reports

[Geert Janssens]

Hi,

You should probably start by uprading to a newer version of gnucash. 2.6.1 has 
known issues attempting to report on large data sets. It is unfortunate Ubuntu 
14.04 is tied to version 2.6.1. You may get a newer one via the getdeb 
repository.

Regards,

Geert
