I usually install RStudio Desktop from the *rpm* binary on the rstudio Web site. My notes from last time I tried this on --current 64 bit (3rd Dec 21, now trashed) go something like this...

.

Tried it here... Still didn't worked...

rstudio is a binary rebuild ?

Because build from source ever fix missing libs.

I've builded it from source. The problem now is not related with libs, but some unknown error, related with video drivers. No solution until now. I sent a email to the sbo mainteiner, and am waitting for some help. When he answer me, I will post here the solution. Thanks anyway!.

maybe this can help OP' segfaults?

The rstudio support note is here...

https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us...ndering-Errors

The line I used in the desktop.info file was...

Code:

$ cat ~/.config/RStudio/desktop.ini
 [General]
 desktop.renderingEngine=software

I'm compiling postgresql on my 64bit current test laptop now. This laptop has basic intel graphics though and may not show the issue.

Nice tip. I'll try it! Thanks!

To recap, on Slackware Current 64 bit I have installed from the unofficial slackbuilds repo...

academic/R-4.0.0 (no dependencies)
system/postresql (no dependencies)

Then downloaded RStudio Desktop rpm rstudio-2021.09.2-382-x86_64.rpm and converted this to .tgz using rpm2tgz.

Because I'm using an old laptop with intel graphics I don't get the segfault related to graphics acceleration.

Best of luck!

I've noticed that I don't have this folder in my root tree: ~/.config/RStudio/desktop.ini. This may be the problem? Can I just create such folder and write the desktop.ini file into it?

Instead, I have another folder related with Rstudio in my system, with a directory tree inside, with is .rstudio-desktop, but no desktop.ini file inside of it...

I think I just created it (must improve my note taking!) then logged out/in again. I use xfce4 as well in case that is relevant.

I took Slackware current off that T61p laptop with its very old nvidia card. I'm on the Thinkpad X laptops with intel graphics so that issue does not occur at all now.

Offtopic

I found it interesting that the slackbuild that repackages the binary for RStudio is using an older version presumably so both 32bit and 64bit can be covered. RStudio don't support 32bit in recent versions.

I also found it educational that the Debian packagers and the Redhat packagers made different choices about the configuration of their RStudio builds and so we have to install different dependencies.

I tried, but did't worked at all. Still the same problem here...

Reading over the thread, I was thinking...

What graphics card are you using on the computer that you are installing on?

Which version of R are you using?

Which RStudio Desktop package are you using? The debian package in the unofficial slackbuild along with its dependencies (gst0-plugins-base and gstreamer) OR the rpm package and its postgres dependency?

I'm also wondering about the Miktex installation you mentioned at the beginning of the thread. I have no experience at all of installing a different TeX distro to the one that comes with Slackware current. The one in slackware current is based on texlive.

Googling 'Linux RStudio segfaults on start' does bring up a lot of pages so this must be fairly common.

Hi there!

Well, answering your questions:

- VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 620 (rev 07) (prog-if 00)
- R-4.0.0-x86_64-1_SBo
- Rstudio version: tried all of then, including old ones, all with the same error.

Something that I could not understand yet is that in some answers here I was advised to change the ~/.config/RStudio/desktop.ini file, but in any of my attempts of installation of Rstudio, the directory RStudio in my home doesn't appear.

About MikTex, I call it from my code, to automatically generate one PDF report with results form my calculations.

I'm out of ideas and knowledge at this point.

I installed R-3.6.3 and RStudio 1.1.463 using the slackbuild (with the two gstreamer/gst0 deps) and it works on the T61p with an old nvidia card - fresh default install of -current 32bit. On this laptop I have to start Firefox in safe mode and switch of graphics accel otherwise it freezes KDE, but RStudio 1.1.4xx seems fine!

I also have a desktop.ini file which contains some settings that I have changed in the options tab... I did not create the file. I think this file gets created when you can change settings once RStudio has loaded.

Code:

root@T61p:/home/keith/Downloads# updatedb
root@T61p:/home/keith/Downloads# locate desktop.ini | grep RStudio
/home/keith/.config/RStudio/desktop.ini
root@T61p:/home/keith/Downloads# cat /home/keith/.config/RStudio/desktop.ini
[General]
view.zoomLevel=1.2

[mainwindow]
geometry=@ByteArray(\x1\xd9\xd0\xcb\0\x2\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\x6\x8f\0\0\x3\xf9\0\0\0\xf6\0\0\0w\0\0\x4\xf5\0\0\x3v\0\0\0\0\x2\0\0\0\x6\x90)
root@T61p:/home/keith/Downloads#

Googling for "RStudio on Linux and Intel HD graphics 620 crash" gives the kinds of page you have already looked at...

leading to

I suppose you need to create an issue on the RStudio community site

Thank you very much for all the attention and support. Indeed, I've created a new ticket in the rstudio community and will wait for some sollution. I guess there's not a simple solution for that issui, once it may be hardware specific, but I have some hope that thet can help me about this!

In any case, I'll post here if they manage to solve this (or if they don't). kkk
