RStudio server error: "Could not connect to the R session on RStudio server. Error occurred during transmission (6)."

[anav]

Hello,

My RStudio server recently crashed due to a termination issue and now every time I attempt to access it I receive an error message that says "Could not connect to the R session on RStudio server. Error occurred during transmission (6)." When I use "systemctl status rstudio-server.service" to check the issue, I see a bunch of error messages saying "ERROR R SUICIDE: cannot create 'R_TempDir'".

I tried using the instructions from Resetting a user's state on RStudio Workbench / RStudio Server – RStudio Support to reset the user state by renaming the '~/.rstudio' folder, but the folder does not seem to be present in my home directory at all (I checked my hidden folders and I could only find .local and .config). I have also tried stopping/starting/restarting the server as well as force suspending and killing it, but nothing seems to be working at all. Any suggestions on how I could fix this issue would be greatly appreciated!

I see a bunch of error messages saying "ERROR R SUICIDE: cannot create 'R_TempDir'".

Any chance your disk is full?

Also, that article's out of date (we'll update it soon!) -- the folder you want to delete is ~/.local/share/rstudio (although at first blush it doesn't look like that'll fix the problem)
