Rstudio can't start on ubuntu18

RStudio IDE
1

Hi, I have a problem with my Rstudio.
When I launch it it opens a black window then crashes.

I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling through command line with the same results.

Opening Rstudio through command line gives this error:
/usr/lib/rstudio/bin/rstudio
WebEngineContext used before QtWebEngine::initialize() or OpenGL context creation failed.
Failed to create OpenGL context for format QSurfaceFormat(version 2.0, options QFlagsQSurfaceFormat::FormatOption(), depthBufferSize 24, redBufferSize -1, greenBufferSize -1, blueBufferSize -1, alphaBufferSize -1, stencilBufferSize 8, samples 0, swapBehavior QSurfaceFormat::DefaultSwapBehavior, swapInterval 1, colorSpace QSurfaceFormat::DefaultColorSpace, profile QSurfaceFormat::NoProfile)

I tried updating my conda [conda update conda] and I think this must have caused this issue
The following packages are causing the inconsistency:

  • r/linux-64::r-rcpp==0.12.18=mro351hebc1506_0
  • r/linux-64::r-dplyr==0.7.6=mro351hebc1506_0
  • r/linux-64::r-memoise==1.1.0=mro351hf348343_0
  • conda-forge/noarch::nltk==3.2.5=py_0
  • defaults/linux-64::navigator-updater==0.2.1=py27_0
  • r/linux-64::r-bindr==0.1.1=mro351hf348343_0
  • defaults/linux-64::numpy-base==1.15.4=py27h81de0dd_0
  • r/linux-64::r-tidyselect==0.2.4=mro351hebc1506_0
    .... [there are more]

Any help would be appreciated,

What does this return on your machine?

$ ldd /usr/lib/rstudio/bin/rstudio

My guess based on the QtWebEngine errors is that either (a) RStudio is loading an incompatible system Qt instead of its bundled Qt, or (b) you are using RStudio with an unsupported compositor such as Wayland (not supported by Qt).
