Rstudio preview version (1.2.1565) Crashing

Hello,

I am using the preview version of Rstudio 1.2.1565 on Ubuntu 18.04 (64-bit machine).

Whenever I am trying to install new packages (no matter which package), the Rstudio crashes unexpectedly. When I restart the Rstudio, I received back the white screen displaying nothing. Following are the log lines when I invoke the rstudio command from the command line.

tushar@davelab-XPS-8700:~$ rstudio
nouveau: kernel rejected pushbuf: No such file or directory
nouveau: ch16: krec 0 pushes 0 bufs 2 relocs 0

nouveau: ch16: buf 00000000 00000002 00000004 00000004 00000000

Please help me to solve the issue.

Also, please let me know if more information is required to pinpoint the issue.

On a separate note, I experience the same behavior when I used the stable version of RStudio (i.e. 1.2.1335)

Thanks for the help.

Best,
Tushar

There is a known issue with RStudio and Nouveau drivers in Linux, check this related thread

Hi tushardave26!

Close RStudio and delete the following files:

  1. C: > users > username > AppData > Local > RStudio-Desktop
  2. C: > users > username > AppData > Roaming > RStudio

Dive back into RStudio. (No restart required.)

Logic: The causes and symptoms can vary, but clearing these files flushes the program - data (working files) saved elsewhere will remain.

Enjoy!

Thanks Shawn.

I think your solution is windows os. Unfortunately, I am running the rstudio on ubuntu.

I can remove all the files from /home/username/.rstudio-desktop/*. But, I am not sure where to find the roaming on ubuntu system.

I'm sorry you're still having trouble. Did you have any luck trying the steps in the thread linked by @andresrcs?

I'm not sure if resetting RStudio Desktop's state (as suggested by @shawn) will help your problem or not, but here are instructions that cover Linux:
