Fedora RPM RStudio broken under Gnome/Xorg #7217
Comments

@rsbivand Thank you for raising the issue! I'll mark it as a bug to review. |
|
@ronblum Thanks. I realise that Gnome and QT5 are only distant relatives, and that this isn't RStudio's fault really (Teams should have reached Wayland capability for screen sharing). Any help would be welcome! |

I actually have this same problem while using Wayland on Fedora 32. I also cannot reproduce it. It happens randomly - so far has happened as I click on unremarkable code in the editor. RStudio Edition : Desktop RStudio Version : 1.3.959 OS Version : Fedora 32 (Workstation Edition) under wayland R Version : 3.6.3 I thought I would add a screenshot of the screen. The menus will open but all actions are non-functional. You have to kill the process. |

@chrisvwn - yes, I see this too, unfortunately. But it less problematic than Xorg just not working. It looks as though more work is needed urgently on Wayland and Xorg for Fedora 32. Trying to help by building from source doesn't work either, as source builds fail for me immediately on F32. |

Can you try the latest preview build from https://rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/preview/ just to see if it behaves any differently? |

Thanks, I'll try Monday morning my time. Do the changes affect both Wayland
and Xorg?

Nothing specifically changed for this issue, just a minor Qt update but it did fix an issue related to new glibc on various recent distros that was leading to blank UI as described here so curious if it helps. |
|
With preview 1.3.1054 no blank UI (yet) on Xorg, which was more sensitive. Have mostly run knit of existing files, but will try editing during the day. |
|
@rsbivand Noted. Indeed it seems less severe with Wayland. I will also try the preview and let you know if the problem recurs. |
|
@rsbivand So far so good. I haven't encountered a repeat of the problem yet. |
|
Great, I'm going to resolve this as a duplicate. Let me know if it reoccurs and I will reopen. Duplicate of #6379 |

System details
See: https://community.rstudio.com/t/fedora-rpm-rstudio-broken-under-gnome-xorg/70806
The published RPM (https://download1.rstudio.org/desktop/centos8/x86_64/rstudio-1.3.959-x86_64.rpm) works under Gnome/Wayland on Fedora 31/32, but freezes non-reproducibly when Gnome is set to use Xorg not Wayland.
Why does this matter? Because Teams does not (yet) permit screen sharing under Wayland, but does under Xorg. However, since the RStudio IDE freezes under Gnome/Xorg (set the Fedora login to Xorg rather than Wayland - https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/configuring-xorg-as-default-gnome-session/) unpredictably, it cannot be used for screen sharing through Teams. I'd be grateful for tips other than switching to Windows 10 after duplicating my whole teaching environment there.
Re-checking with the crash-handler on, the entries are empty, with:
Typically, the whole RStudio window goes blank apart from the top menu line, is unresponsive, and has to be killed, for example from the system monitor. To check the running session interface, use e.g.:
Not a crash, a freeze, with no apparent activity from the crash handler (see above).
