Unexpected RStudio (version 1.1.463) crashes on arch linux

[qubit]

I'm experiencing frequent and unexpected crashes of RStudio on Arch Linux. I'm running version 1.1.463 and it was installed via converted .deb package. There doesn't seem to be any specific action that crashes it, it crashed during a package install, during the execution of the cv.glmnet function from the glmnet package and even when it was idling.

I've also generated a diagnostics-report, its contents:

Apart from that I've also collected a core dump from one of the crashes:

Does anybody know what might be causing these crashes?

[kevinushey]

Do you have any better luck with the preview release?

[qubit]

I haven't tried it yet, but I will definitely do so. Thanks for the tip!

[qubit]

I have tried the preview version now and haven't encountered any crashes so far. It's still too soon to say that the problem won't occur again, but it is looking a lot better than with version 1.1.463.

[qubit]

I've now run RStudio non-stop for multiple days in a row and still haven't encountered any issues. So I will regard the problem as being solved. Once again thanks for this suggestion! This topic can now be closed (can I close it myself?)

[mara]

If your question's been answered (even if by you), you can choose a solution. (See FAQ below for how).

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] …
