Arch Linux User Repository

On which flavor are you exactly? (Arch, Manjaro, etc.?) I cannot reproduce the issue and hence I cannot do anything against it. Might be worth reporting upstream at the rstudio-github repo with more OS details.

I am also victim of the black screen since last update. I tried reinstalling, it did not help... Any idea?

@aldomann

I just updated my system, I'm able to run rstudio just fine... If you tried to do a clean install? Maybe also try installing the non-preview version to see if it still happens?

After my last system update, RStudio Preview just shows a black screen.

The packages updated were these:

python-beaker (1.10.0-2 -> 1.10.0-3)
networkmanager-pptp (1.2.8-2 -> 1.2.9dev+10+gb41b0d0-1)

nm-connection-editor (1.8.19dev+21+geebf7f95-1 -> 1.8.20-1)
networkmanager-openvpn (1.8.8-2 -> 1.8.9dev+16+g33c941d-1)
mesa (18.3.3-1 -> 18.3.3-2)
mesa-vdpau (18.3.3-1 -> 18.3.3-2)
python-setuptools (1:40.7.3-1 -> 1:40.8.0-1)
python2-setuptools (1:40.7.3-1 -> 1:40.8.0-1)

opencv (4.0.1-4 -> 4.0.1-5)
iw (4.14-1 -> 5.0.1-1)
dmenu (4.8-1 -> 4.9-1)
ndctl (64-1 -> 64.1-1)
lib32-curl (7.63.0-2 -> 7.64.0-1)
lib32-libcurl-compat (7.63.0-2 -> 7.64.0-1)
lib32-libcurl-gnutls (7.63.0-2 -> 7.64.0-1)
curl (7.63.0-4 -> 7.64.0-1)

The only error I get in the log (located in ~/.rstudio-desktop/log/rsession-aldomann.log is:

09 Feb 2019 11:27:27 [rsession-aldomann] ERROR Parent terminated; LOGGED FROM: void {anonymous}::detectParentTermination() /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/IDE_open-source-pipeline_master/src/cpp/session/SessionMain.cpp:1332

I think the package needs openssl-1.0 requirement. There are potentially more requirements, but since the standard ArchLinux openssl is 1.1, this one gets exposed.

@pat-s yeah that was totally my fault. I didn't even think to check while I was away since the update cycle for the preview version used to be every Friday and significantly slowed down. The original out-of-date flag got utterly buried in my inbox. But that shouldn't happen anymore, I've switched to a different email and made it public in my AUR profile so I should be easier to ping next time.

@chendanlely I just added you as a co-maintainer. Sorry for taking ownership if you've just been on vacation. However, you did not respond for a long time and I was worried about the maintenance of this package.

As you see I just updated it with the most recent PKGBUILD from the desktop-bin package.

I was out on vacation this month.. is it possible to be a listed as a co-maintainer for this repository? I just saw the batch of emails for ownership changes today which just got me concerned and confused @_@ I also didn't see the out-of-date flag, that was my mistake.
