If rstudio is sporadically crashing for you, know it's a known issue with glibc and chromium. There's an issue filed on the rstudio github with links to more information: https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues/6379

Issue with glibc and chromium should be fixed in RStudio v1.3.1004-1 Preview (https://rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/preview-release-notes/).

I just created another AUR repo for the daily builds (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rstudio-desktop-daily-bin/)

the original glibc crashing is fixed in there, so let me know if there are still crashes with rstudio happening in there.

@bquast: if you launch rstudio from the command line does the terminal report any error when the program crashes?

If not, is there anything posted in the application logs (see previous post)

I also have more frequent crashes since the latest update

@sguyader

Does anything show up in the application logs (1) or backtrace logs (2)? I've personally reduced my use of rstudio since the glibc and qt problems were happening and attributed all weird crash issues to that...

If the logs show something I would then see if there's anything relevant in the rstudio issues page (3).

@chendaniely I'm aware of that issue with glibc and chromium. But I reported what I thought looks like another issue, because the glibc/chromium issue always gave a relevant message in console, but not the crashes I experienced today which left nothing in console, and which happen more often.

@sguyader please see the previous comment (I also just pinned it). It's not rstudio's fault. it's a glibc and chromium issue. It's been addressed in rstudio nightly builds and they're just waiting for some baketime before merging into preview builds.

The github issue has a way for you to downgrade glibc as a temp fix.

Since the last update I get more crashes (blank window, need to kill the app from terminal). When run from terminal, I have no message. It seems quite random, and happens even with a single R script open, while just editing a line.

Before this update I had glibc/chromium sandbox crashes happening sometimes, but now it seems worse.

I started getting this error when I launch RStudio (preview 1.2.1511 running R 3.6.0):

The R session had a fatal error.

ERROR r error 4 (R code execution error) [errormsg=Error: option error has NULL value
]; OCCURRED AT: rstudio::core::Error rstudio::r::exec::executeSafely(rstudio_boost::function<void()>) /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/IDE/open-source-pipeline/v1.2-patch/src/cpp/r/RExec.cpp:224

Edit: I fixed this issue I had to comment out these lines from my .RProfile:

#if (requireNamespace("rlang", quietly = TRUE)) {
#  options(error = rlang::entrace)
#}
