Vector-->Geoprocessing Tools cause freeze

I can't use a single vector Geoprocessing Tool without freezing QGIS. This didn't happen before upgrading to QGIS 2.14.0. I've tried installing via ubuntugis-unstable and Ubuntu Software Center; both installs freeze the same way when attempting to use the vector Geoprocessing Tools, and none of the freezes have produced anything . The tools I've attempted to use the most are Buffer, Intersect, and Clip. Any insight would be most appreciated.

This is my first-ever post here. Please let me know what else to provide or how I should post issues differently in the future.

I meant to say, "none of the freezes have produced anything noteworthy or interesting in the Log Messages Panel."

Do you use the "geoprocessing" toolbox? Then it would be interesting which version of "processing" it is (Plugins-> manage and install plugins -> processing).

Possible outputs that could point to issues are running QGIS from console (which will be filled with QGIS and GDAL/ogr warnings and errors). Also, you could check "processing/history" for information.

Thanks for the prompt reply! I was using the "processing" toolbox, but I just uninstalled it and tried again. QGIS still freezes in the same manner as before, unfortunately.

When running QGIS from terminal, these are the warning messages I receive:

Warning: loading of qgis translation failed [/usr/share/qgis/i18n//qgis_en_US] Warning: loading of qt translation failed [/usr/share/qt4/translations/qt_en_US] Warning: QCss::Parser - Failed to load file "/style.qss" QInotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: inotify_add_watch failed: No such file or directory Warning: QFileSystemWatcher: failed to add paths: /home/geodynamics/.qgis2//project_templates Warning: QVariantMap DBusMenuExporterDBus::getProperties(int, const QStringList&) const: Condition failed: action Warning: QVariantMap DBusMenuExporterDBus::getProperties(int, const QStringList&) const: Condition failed: action

...and when I run the "Convex Hull(s)" tool: ERROR 1: Attempt to write non-polygon (LINESTRING) geometry to POLYGON type shapefile.

Does this help?

The processing plugin is still there, it's just a question if you use the builtin one or the "repository" one. I just tested with both (debian/QGIS 2.14), and I can run everything just fine.

It could be a plugin or some setting that's off. Try to temporarily disable both (renaming ~.qgis2/ and ~/config/QGIS/). Else, it may be corrupt data; some confusion between packages (as you tried two different repositories. There may be a mixup somewhere in the dependencies).
