R 3.5.0 not working on Ubuntu 18.04
2
I just installed Ubuntu 18.04 on my testbed laptop. Total fresh install (chose the 'minimal' option). The first two things I did were install R 3.5 and R Studio 1.1.453. If I open up a fresh install of R and just let it sit idle for 30 minutes or so I eventually get the error "Error: Unable to establish connection with R session".
At this point in time I can't do anything in R Studio and I have to xkill it and reload everything to continue programming. An internet search reveals that this issue has been popping up repeatedly since people have been installing R/R Studio on Ubuntu machines that use GNOME. Am not sure if GNOME is the root cause but it's interesting.
Anybody solved this? Or maybe you run R 3.5 fine on Ubuntu 18.04 without issue. Please let me know. I can only run for 30 minutes or so before this issue brings my system down. And my system is a fresh install of Bionic Beaver with just R on it. Weird.
------ and for those wondering ------
installation for R was via
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/"
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E084DAB9
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev
and R Studio was installed via this link through the Ubuntu software center
https://download1.rstudio.org/rstudio-xenial-1.1.453-amd64.deb
and it is speculated that the preview release of R Studio may fix this (TBD)

OK, please add to your question because this is essential information. My version from the standard Ubuntu PPA works fine. Also indicate how you installed R studio.

I did your steps on my clean Ubuntu 18.04 LTS VM:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/"
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E084DAB9
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev
Then tried to run R:
Then installed RStudio:
cd ~/Downloads
wget https://download1.rstudio.org/rstudio-xenial-1.1.453-amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install ./rstudio-xenial-1.1.453-amd64.deb
it launches and runs normally:
Afterwards I tried newer version and it works too.

I ended up installing the preview version 1.2.792 of R Studio and the issue has gone away. rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/preview

I think that I did follow your steps. I "cleaned" my system
to the best of my abilities (as previously described; see below) and then did
sudo apt-get install r-base
This seemed (as I previously said on the Ubuntu Mate Community list,
from which you told me to switch the discussion to this location) to run without complaint, but produced no executable.
I tried
dpkg -l | grep "^ii -r"
just now, following your example, and got no output whatever. So
it would seem that "dpkg" thinks that r-base has not been installed.
But the output from "sudo apt-get install r-base" seems to say that
it has been installed. What is going on?
Added: I have solved the problem. Elsewhere it was suggested to me that
I try doing
dpkg -l r-base-core
This produced the enlightening output:
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig- pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Architecture Description
+++-================-=============-=============-======================================
ii r-base-core 3.5.2-1bionic amd64 GNU R core of statistical computation
The nature of the message prompted me to try
sudo apt purge r-base-core
which ran and said that it was removing a whole lot of stuff.
I then tried
sudo apt-get install r-base-core
which ran and gave a whole lot more output than was previously produced when I ran "sudo apt-get install r-base". (Note: I had been typing
r-base and NOT r-base-core.) It indicated that it was doing lots of stuff that looked promising in respect of actually installing R.
And in fact the promise was fulfilled. I then started R and got:
R version 3.5.2 (2018-12-20) -- "Eggshell Igloo"
Copyright (C) 2018 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)
Ta-da!!!
The problem may have been that previously I had been saying
"sudo apt-get install r-base" rather than
"sudo apt-get install r-base-core".
It is possible that the latter is needed if R has previously been installed from source, but otherwise just "r-base" is sufficient. I am not sufficiently knowledgeable to say. Others may be able to provide insight.

I did your steps on my clean Ubuntu 18.04 LTS VM:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/"
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E084DAB9
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev
Then tried to run R:
Then installed RStudio:
cd ~/Downloads
wget https://download1.rstudio.org/rstudio-xenial-1.1.453-amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install ./rstudio-xenial-1.1.453-amd64.deb
it launches and runs normally:
Afterwards I tried newer version and it works too.

I did your steps on my clean Ubuntu 18.04 LTS VM:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/"
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E084DAB9
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev
Then tried to run R:
Then installed RStudio:
cd ~/Downloads
wget https://download1.rstudio.org/rstudio-xenial-1.1.453-amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install ./rstudio-xenial-1.1.453-amd64.deb
it launches and runs normally:
Afterwards I tried newer version and it works too.

I did your steps on my clean Ubuntu 18.04 LTS VM:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/"
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E084DAB9
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev
Then tried to run R:
Then installed RStudio:
cd ~/Downloads
wget https://download1.rstudio.org/rstudio-xenial-1.1.453-amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install ./rstudio-xenial-1.1.453-amd64.deb
it launches and runs normally:
Afterwards I tried newer version and it works too.

I ended up installing the preview version 1.2.792 of R Studio and the issue has gone away. rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/preview

I think that I did follow your steps. I "cleaned" my system
to the best of my abilities (as previously described; see below) and then did
sudo apt-get install r-base
This seemed (as I previously said on the Ubuntu Mate Community list,
from which you told me to switch the discussion to this location) to run without complaint, but produced no executable.
I tried
dpkg -l | grep "^ii -r"
just now, following your example, and got no output whatever. So
it would seem that "dpkg" thinks that r-base has not been installed.
But the output from "sudo apt-get install r-base" seems to say that
it has been installed. What is going on?
Added: I have solved the problem. Elsewhere it was suggested to me that
I try doing
dpkg -l r-base-core
This produced the enlightening output:
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig- pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Architecture Description
+++-================-=============-=============-======================================
ii r-base-core 3.5.2-1bionic amd64 GNU R core of statistical computation
The nature of the message prompted me to try
sudo apt purge r-base-core
which ran and said that it was removing a whole lot of stuff.
I then tried
sudo apt-get install r-base-core
which ran and gave a whole lot more output than was previously produced when I ran "sudo apt-get install r-base". (Note: I had been typing
r-base and NOT r-base-core.) It indicated that it was doing lots of stuff that looked promising in respect of actually installing R.
And in fact the promise was fulfilled. I then started R and got:
R version 3.5.2 (2018-12-20) -- "Eggshell Igloo"
Copyright (C) 2018 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)
Ta-da!!!
The problem may have been that previously I had been saying
"sudo apt-get install r-base" rather than
"sudo apt-get install r-base-core".
It is possible that the latter is needed if R has previously been installed from source, but otherwise just "r-base" is sufficient. I am not sufficiently knowledgeable to say. Others may be able to provide insight.

R in Ubuntu 18.04 currently is at version 3.4.4. You likely installed from another source?

@vanadium I installed from here cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/bionic-cran35 using
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/"thensudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev. I installed the keys as well prior.– stackinator

OK, please add to your question because this is essential information. My version from the standard Ubuntu PPA works fine. Also indicate how you installed R studio.
