How to use RStudio in fully updated Ubuntu 24.04?

  • 772

The upgrade from ubuntu 24.04. to 24.04.1 broke my RStudio install (altogether 11 packages were broken by the upgrade). I removed RStudio and also upgraded it to the latest version (2024.04.2-764-amd64.deb), but the error persists. By itself, R (v4.3.3) runs smoothly.

This is the error I get. I do not even know what it refers to -- and hence, where to start looking.

laptop@user:~$ rstudio 
[48623:0903/170856.125096:FATAL:credentials.cc(127)] Check failed: . : Permission denied (13)
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

Thank you!

    The bug has been reported, and has been resolved in the development branch of RStudio.

    The next version of RStudio cranberry-hibiscus will not have this bug. While it is not released yet, you can download it from here.

    Here is how to install .deb packages in Ubuntu 24.04.

    In addition to that, you may have to permanently disable Ubuntu's apparmor namespace restrictions for RStudio to launch.

    Enter the following command, and reboot.

    echo 'kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns = 0' | 
  sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/20-apparmor-donotrestrict.conf
