RStudio doesn't start in linux slackware

Hi RStudio development team!

I'm having problems running Rstudio. In my job I run a system that involves MikTex, R, Rstudio and spreadsheets. Well, I managed to install all of those successfully, with no errors or warnings. However, when I try to run Rstudio, it aborts, never opens.

When I run it in terminal, it gives me the following error:

bash-5.1# rstudio
Segmentation fault

I saw elsewhere that it could be a problem with video driver, and a possible solution would be

export MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965

However, it didn't worked either...

When I run strace rstudio, the log shows the following error:
...
--- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_MAPERR, si_addr=0x1c} ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
Segmentation fault

My system is:

  • Slackware-current

  • VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 620 (rev 07) (prog-if 00)

  • R-4.0.0-x86_64-1_SBo

  • Rstudio version: rstudio-desktop-1.1.463-x86_64-1_SBo
    (I've tried many versions of RStudio, all with the same error, never passing the startup)

I was advised to change the file ~/.config/RStudio/desktop.ini with this:

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

However, I've noticed that I don't have this folder in my root tree, and I can't disable hardware acceleration.

Well, that's it... Someone could help me with this issue?
