I am using Rstudio server 1.3 in a remote deskptop, which runs linux ubuntu 18.04.4. Last friday, it crashed and I have been unable to use since then. I can log in, but then get a message: "Error occurred during transmission". Calling journalctl gives me a very similar error message to the one shown here:
I have reinstalled rstudio server and deleted the .Rhistory, but these had no effect.
any pointers to a solution would be great.
Hi all,
For future reference, I was able to solve this by following: https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/218730228-Resetting-a-user-s-state-on-RStudio-Server
I renamed my .rstudio folder to .rstudio-old. With this, I was then able to login and access everything. Will still leave the .rstudio-old for a few days and then delete it once I confirm everything is working well.
For others who face the same issue (or future me), the solution @rramiro suggested didn't work for me on Rstudio Server version 1.3.1093, but the general concept worked. Based on the link he/she kindly shared:
user files are stored in three separate locations
~/.config/rstudio/ All user settings (Global Options) ~/.local/share/rstudio/ All open files and tabs ~/.rstudio/ All active and suspended sessions
On my computer, the ~/.rstudio had only one empty folder inside, and renaming it and restarting the rstusio daemon via systemctl restart rstudio-server.service didn't help. What worked for me was renaming the ~/.local/share/rstudio/ via:
mv ~/.local/share/rstudio ~/.local/share/rstudio.old
and the restarting the daemon:
systemctl restart rstudio-server.service
and then refreshing the browser. Just as a headsup, the rstudio took about 20 seconds to load after this (probably because it had to create all those file we practically removed).
Nevertheless, special thanks to @rramiro
