RStudio Crashing on Ubuntu

RStudio IDE
1

My version of RStudio is constantly crashing. I get the error

R Session aborted
R encountered a fatal error
The session was terminated

I've not been able to find a reproducible way of making it crash. But it's regular, every few minutes.

  • R 3.6.1 (fresh install)
  • RStudio: 1.2.5001 (fresh install)
  • Ubuntu: 18.04

What other error logs can I provide?

Looking through error logs I've found the following entry

16 Oct 2019 09:27:19 [rsession-ncsg3] ERROR r error 4 (R code execution error) [errormsg=Error in parse(text = capture.output(x)) : <text>:1:1: unexpected input|||1: e|||    ^|||]; OCCURRED AT: rstudio::core::Error rstudio::r::exec::{anonymous}::evaluateExpressionsUnsafe(SEXP, SEXP, SEXPREC**, rstudio::r::sexp::Protect*, rstudio::r::exec::{anonymous}::EvalType) /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/IDE/open-source-pipeline/v1.2-patch/src/cpp/r/RExec.cpp:171; LOGGED FROM: SEXPREC* rstudio::r::sexp::PrimitiveWrappers::operator[](SEXP) /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/IDE/open-source-pipeline/v1.2-patch/src/cpp/r/RSexp.cpp:1633

I think this might be related to when I set

# Needed for a package I'm developing
options("crayon.enabled" = TRUE)

Going to investigate. Then raise an issue

Interesting... This is what I run, with no issues.

By R 3.6 you mean 3.6.1, do you?

Does R on command line work?

Consider sudo apt-get --reinstall install r-base-core if it seems R issue.

And just to make sure check Help / Diagnostics / Show Log Files / rsession-your login.log for any funny messages (but that is just RStudio, not R, so possibly nothing there).

Thanks. Followed your suggestions. The log part was helpful

I've raised an RStudio bug report
