I am using the newest version of RStudio (1.2.1335, downloaded from the Rstudio website) on my Ubuntu (18.04) machine.
It used to work but at some point I got the following error and now RStudio won't start anymore:
The R session had a fatal error.
ERROR r error 4 (R code execution error) [errormsg=Error: option error has NULL value
]; OCCURRED AT: rstudio::core::Error rstudio::r::exec::executeSafely(rstudio_boost::function<void()>) /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/IDE_open-source-pipeline_v1.2/src/cpp/r/RExec.cpp:224
Note that I do not have Jenkins installed on my machine, i.e., /var/lib/jenkins/ does not exist.
Re-installing RStudio does not help either.
The system is otherwise up to date (sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade).
Any ideas how to fix this issue?
