After pacman -Syu RStudio stopped opening

Support AUR
, ,
1

Hi,

I updated my system using pacman -Syu on 2020-11-06 and now rstudio-desktop-bin (most recent version from AUR, , v1.3.1093-1) does not open consistently. Sometimes it opens a window then closes it immediately, sometimes it’s a black window, and sometimes it opens a window and appears normal but crashes in short order. Anyone else having this problem?

If you havent rebuilt your AUR package against current system libs then thats why.

@cscs thanks but I installed the latest rstudio-desktop-bin from AUR after I did the system update

4

Hm. What happens if you launch it from terminal? Any clues?

Maybe something here! When I launch from terminal and it crashes, I see many lines of “nouveau: memory address” then this error. But sometimes it freezes everything and I have to force reboot.

That won’t help because you just reinstalled the same binary files that were built against older libraries. Build rstudio-desktop or rstudio-desktop-git and you should be good to go.

7

Awesome thanks @Yochanan.

I installed rstudio-desktop but RStudio doesn’t work: it loads but the main part of the window remains blank.

I also tried to build rstudio-desktop-git but got this error:

CMake Error at src/cpp/session/CMakeLists.txt:30 (message):
  pandoc 2.11.1.1 not found (re-run install-dependencies script to install)

However the most recent pandoc in the Arch repository is older than that, version 2.11.0.2-1

8

Not sure what to tell you then. It could be an upstream issue. Have you poked the internet? :wink:

We don’t even have that in the Manjaro unstable branch yet. Arch just updated to 2.11.0.2-1 today. They may be holding it back to avoid breakage with packages that depend on it.

9

I’ll do some more poking around

Ok, thanks for your help!

Might be a bit of a shot in the dark, but have you tried removing RStudio’s cache and config files (plus any other crud it leaves around the home directory)?

I’m currently using the latest rstudio-desktop-bin from the AUR without issue. Looking at your inxi output the main differences between our systems that ‘might’ make a difference are GFX card manufacturers (Intel + AMD vs Nvidia), desktop environment (Gnome vs XFCE), desktop session type (Wayland vs X11), kernel version (5.9 vs 5.8) and monitor resolution (2 x 1080p vs 2 x 4K). Not sure if that’s helpful or not, but might give some clues if removing the config/cache stuff doesn’t help.

Otherwise, have you checked the comments in the AUR?

11

Thanks Freakster!

Yeah, removing the config/cache directory didn’t affect the problem.

I tried installing kernel v5.9 using mhwd-kernel -i linux59 because pacman -S linux installs v5.8 even though v5.9.6 is the latest in the Arch repository. Changing my monitor resolution didn’t change RStudio’s behavior either. I’m under the impression that I can’t use Wayland with XFCE.

I tried to install Gnome using pacman -S gnome but I think it tells me I have gdm-dev installed and also that gdm-dev conflicts with libgdm-dev. But pacman -R gdm and pacman -R gdm-dev report target not found.

looking for conflicting packages...
warning: removing 'gdm' from target list because it conflicts with 'gdm-dev'
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: gdm-dev and libgdm-dev are in conflict

I didn’t see anything relevant in the AUR comments.

12 
pacman -Qs gdm
13

I reinstalled Manjaro with Gnome and I haven’t had this problem since.

Don’t want to be the naysayer, but this isn’t a SOLUTION.
