We recently upgraded software on one of our computational nodes:
- Ubuntu 20.04
- R 4.1.0
- RStudio Server 1.4.1106
Ever since the upgrade, multiple users cannot run VlnPlot() or DimPlot() through the Seurat package. Their RStudio session crashes right away. We use a web browser to connect to RStudio Server, and once either of those commands are run, an error message pops up:
The previous R session was abnormally terminated due to an unexpected crash. You may have lost workspace data as a result of this crash.
/var/log/syslog only shows a one line error that's not super helpful, as far as I can tell:
ERROR session hadabend; LOGGED FROM: rstudio::core::Error {anonymous}::rInit(const rstudio::r::session::RInitInfo&) src/cpp/session/SessionMain.cpp:680
We've tried renaming .rstudio in each home directory to force a brand new environment with no old settings, but even installing the latest version of Seurat into a blank environment and running their tutorial with their sample data, the same problem comes up. I can't figure out what the problem might be, nor how to find a helpful log entry for it.
Any ideas for what to look at? I'm a Linux guy and I know my way around a terminal, but R and RStudio are not my areas of expertise. Thanks in advance!
