Problems with RStudio

General Help
#17

r-api-3.5 is included in r-base-core...

You added this repository:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:c2d4u.team/c2d4u4.0+

And ran this command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install r-cran-rstan -d

Correct?

I just tested this on my machine - and it installed. The above includes r-base-core as well.
Are you set to Main Server? Or am I missing something here?
Otherwise... Here is r-base-core (I doublecheckd... amd64)
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/r/r-base/r-base-core_3.6.3-2_amd64.deb

This must be driving you up the wall in frustration.

#18

I ran the commands and the problem persists. This is the first time that I'm banging my head against the wall with a problem on Linux. I hope everything will be ok

#19

What about the .deb file linked about for r-base-core?

#20

When I click to install it, it says it's already installed. It gives me the option to remove it only

#21

Ok... So that worked. Have you tried installing the previous .deb since then?

It gives me the same. Some problem with r-api

#23

Ummm... It is installed now.:expressionless:
https://packages.debian.org/buster/r-api-3.5

I really wish that r maintainers had not dropped development.

#24

I know what thats like! The developers of HARDINFO decided to drop support. As such, HARDINFO can't detect modern NVME drives, it never detected mine at least. Thankully, we have other APPS that can do it, or terminal.

#25

Did you remove the arm64 version first before installing the amd64 ?

The arm version didn't install at all. At least I think it didn't

I don't know what to do anymore. I will install Windows and Ubuntu 18.04 in a VM and see if things workout. Even though it's sort of an frustrating experience, this is the first time in almost 3 months using Zorin that I'm having real trouble

In researching this... I can tell you are nowhere near alone in this. Many others have had the exact same troubles with installing r that you describe.
Part of this may be due to it being abandoned and unmaintained, but still useful and available enough that many still rely on it.

That's a shame. I wouldn't worry much about it and would try learning everything on Python, but in the class I'm taking (Chemometrics), the professor uses r so I don't have other option.

Can professor say how they got it installed?

Are you set to Main Server in Software & Updates?
More to try:

sudo apt -y install r-base gdebi-core

Grab this .deb file:
https://download1.rstudio.org/desktop/bionic/amd64/rstudio-2021.09.0-351-amd64.deb

You can open it with gdebi or

sudo gdebi rstudio-2021.09.0-351-amd64.deb

If it works... try launching...

rstudio

#32

On RStudio?

#33

Please hit alt+F2
Enter in
software-properties-gtk then hit enter.

That will open the application called Software & Updates
On the first tab that opens, look to Download From
Ensure that is set to Main Server.
If it was not on main Server before now, please let us know in this thread.

I was using the Brazilian Server

That may relate to the troubles.:expressionless:
Supposedly, regional servers should all contain everything the Main Server does.
In practice, we often see that this is not the case.

Please switch to Main Server and try the Installation steps outlined above...

None of these solved the problem using the Main Server
