I had R and Rstudio server working fine, but wanted a newer version of R than what was available in the repos (ie 3.5.3).
I built R from source and added it to my path and it works fine. However, now the Rstudio server service won't start. sudo rstudio-server verify-installation doesn't output any errors (just returns to command line). Uninstalling and re-installing rstudio server doesn't fix the issue. systemctl start rstudio-server.service says failed to start with Interactive authentication required.
I think it has something to do with building R from source and the install of rstudio-server not being able to locate R, but not sure how to fix this. Any ideas?
