I have a CentOS 7 machine with the RStudio Server installed. There are R packages which require X11 to be available.
I can run R from terminal with X11 enabled. I can run RStudio Desktop from the Gnome GUI with X11 enabled. However, when I run RStudio Server from the web GUI X11 is not available.
Is there any way how to make X11 available when running R from the RStudio Server web GUI?
Related but there is not an answer to my question:
We have RStudio Server running in our infrastructure. We connect to the default port it is being forwarded to with a web browser. I'm unable to open X11 related graphics devices. Is it RStudio Server configuration or server-side configuration which which enable X forwarding through the connected session? For example, when running quartz() in the console I receive the following error:
quartz() Warning message: In quartz() : Quartz device is not available on this platform
And when running xclock in the Terminal emulator I receive the following error:
Error: Can't open display: :0
Any guidance would helpful, I'm working with our IT techs to get this issue ironed out.
which specific packages are you referring to that require X11 to be available?
