I updated RStudio to 2022.12.0+353 on my Ubuntu laptop this morning.
When I open RStudio from the command line (cd some_project; rstudio some_project.Rproj &) I get an error message and RStudio fails to open.
RStudio does open correctly when I use the applications menu icon, or an RStudio icon on my "favourites" list. It also opens correctly when I run rstudio from the command line (opening with working directory == my home directory, rather than the directory where the command line call was made).
The error message (printed inside an RStudio window) is as follows:
Error Starting R
The R session failed to start.

NEXT STEPS
R can fail to start up for many reasons. The following may help you resolve the problem:
Investigate any errors above.
Make sure that R starts up correctly outside RStudio (using RGui, R.app, or R in a terminal).
Fully uninstall all versions of R from your machine, and reinstall the version you wish to use with RStudio.
Remove startup customizations such as an .Rprofile file, if present.

In the terminal window where RStudio was started from, I have the following errors printed out as well:
> rstudio some_project.Rproj
libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null)

I can start R (4.2.2) from that terminal window and am not using anything like renv or rig or conda - my R is ran from /usr/bin/R.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
