RStudio Daily Build fails to start with R 3.5.3

[mishabalyasin]

I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 and today it updated R to 3.5.3. Afterwards I tried launching RStudio, but it failed. I've installed the latest build and it also doesn't start. If I start it from the command line, the stacktrace is:

$ rstudio
WebEngineContext used before QtWebEngine::initialize() or OpenGL context creation failed.

The stable version of RStudio (1.1.463) works without a problem (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; N; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/538.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) RStudio Safari/538.1 Qt/5.4.2)

FWIW Rstudio Server 1.2.1326 runs fine with R 3.5.3 under Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 LTS so maybe only a desktop version problem.

Failed to create OpenGL context <...>

This usually implies that RStudio is having trouble interacting with the GPU on your machine. What kind of graphics card / display drivers do you have installed on your system?

I'm running NVidia GeForce 1070.
Updated drivers to 418.43, restarted PC and now RStudio starts normally.
