Arch Linux User Repository

Hi @mithanan:

I'm not sure if Fctix input can be used with rstudio. According to this article (abet it's a bit old) you can: https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/205605748-Using-RStudio-0-99-with-Fctix-on-Linux

according to the post:

On Linux, RStudio uses a bundled version of Qt 5 that does not include support for Fctix by default. To resolve the problem, you can add Fctix's Qt 5 plugin from your system's Qt 5 installation to RStudio's platform input plugin folder:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_MULTIARCH)/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/libfcitxplatforminputcontextplugin.so /usr/lib/rstudio/bin/plugins/platforminputcontexts/

But I'm not sure how this would work in Arch, as it'll depend on how Arch installs Qt and stuff.

Is there a way to use fcitx to input Chinese and other languages

the SHA256 sum issue should be fixed after the version update. Running makepkg -si on my machine installed RStudio without any issues. Not sure what may have caused it, maybe they did a hotfix push between versions that didn't actually bump the version number, who knows.

I also added the postgresql-libs to the dependencies so it should match the other rstudio aur packages now.

Current version (1.4.1048-1) is failing the validity check

==> Validating source_x86_64 files with sha256sums... rstudio-1.4.1048-amd64.deb ... FAILED ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

It turns out that the RStudio 1.4.869 binary for Debian / Ubuntu installs the Debian package libpq5 as a dependency. Apparently RStudio 1.4 requires the PostgreSQL client libraries. That surprises me; I'll dig through the release notes when I get a free half-hour or so.

Meanwhile, the PKGBUILD for this package should have a dependency to bring in postgresql-libs.

@znmeb, installing postgresql-libs fixed my problem. Thank you very much

@br_shadow: libpq.so is the PostgreSQL client library. You may need to install / reinstall extra/postgresql-libsor install / reinstall any R packages that interface to PostgreSQl.

I have the Arch package installed and don't get the error. If you don't have it installed and aren't using PostgreSQL it's probably an upstream RStudio issue - they may be looking to connect to PostgreSQL by default.

After upgrading to 1.4.869 Rstudio fails to open with the following message

The R session process exited with code 127.

/usr/lib/rstudio/bin/rsession: error while loading shared libraries: libpq.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Will this be updated to 1.4 when it's brought up to date? They just migrated the preview download site.

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