[SOLVED] RStudio (rstudio-desktop-bin)

protobio · 2021-07-03 15:04:57

Hello everyone,

First of all, I would like to formally offer my greetings to the whole Arch Linux community. I used Linux for around a year and a half, and a few days ago transited into Arch Linux (I installed the July release). So far, it has been a great learning experience. And, I am planning to use my Arch Linux installation as a daily driver.

I installed the default KDE Plasma DE with the default wayland installation (pardon if my terminology is wrong as I am very new to the Arch ecosystem, and still relatively new to Linux in general). I also installed sddm. I was able to install the majority of my required software, however, I am facing a problem while trying to make RStudio work. R 4.1 is already installed in the system. I tried installing the major RStudio versions from AUR (i.e. rstudio-desktop-bin). I have not been able to make it work. I haven't got any response from the rstudio-desktop-bin installation. The RStudio from the installed application doesn't give any response when I try to open it from the applications. I am not very proficient but I did edit the .Renviron and set the R_LIBS_USER in ~/.Renviron and directed it to my R installation's folder. However, there is still no response from the RStudio installation.
This is my .Renviron where R_LIBS is:

R_LIBS_USER=${R_LIBS_USER-'~/home/hades/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.1'}
#R_LIBS_USER=${R_LIBS_USER-'~/Library/R//4.1/library'}

I am dual booting the machine with the original Windows that came with the machine. I am using an HP Pavillion notebook with 4th gen i5 4200U with 8 GB of RAM and a mobile GeForce GT740M. I have 2 SSDs installed on my system where, the "/dev/sda" is my Windows (that came with the laptop which I cloned into this SSD from an original HDD) drive and /dev/sdb is my primary Linux installation. The Linux installation in my /dev/sdb is a 250GB Samsung SSD. I have installed the Linux in a 75GB root drive while my home is 141GB partition. I have 512MB of EFI partition and a 16GB swap.

Please help.

Best wishes,
Protobio

Here is the terminal result when tried running from the terminal:

[hades@archlinux ~]$ rstudio-bin

I don't believe the -bin package can run on wayland as it includes it's own qt libraries targeting Xorg.

You could try the following:

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb
rstudio-bin

Mod note: moving to AUR Issues.

Thank you people for the replies. The issue was due to wayland. I was able to run RStudio without a problem once I logged in using X11. So, as pointed out by Trilby, it could not run on wayland. Thank you Trilby for your inputs.

Best wishes,

It should be able to run within a wayland session. You don't need to "log in" using X11, just setting the environment variable in my last post should be sufficient. And if that works, there's likely a command line flag for the same effect.

Thank you so much. That also worked. The query is solved.
