RT ticket 304069

Conclusion

There was a process called -bash (yes, a dash/minus before bash) which caused that:

• RStudio never shows the files pane
• RStudio never successfully runs an R command in the interpreter

Killing -bash (using kill -s 1 [PID], where [PID] is the process ID, in this case 11723)(note that killall -bash did not work, as killall interpreted -bash as a flag :-) ) solved the problem.

Observations

• RStudio works fine without R_packages
• There is a Whisper icon on the desktop

Hypotheses

Most likely at the top

• [CONFIRMED] H6. The process -bash is relevant to the problem
• [REJECTED] H8: seeing the Whisper icon is relevant to the problem
• [REJECTED] H7. The RStudio startup messages are relevant to the problem
• [REJECTED] H2. When trying out another Bianca project, a different setup was used. Doing exactly the same script will result in the same results.
• [REJECTED] H4. The core. files will be helpful in finding the answer
• [REJECTED] H5. The way the user opens RStudio is relevant
• [REJECTED] H3. The problem is not in RStudio at all. It is in lmod, as loading modules is slow on Bianca
• [REJECTED] H1. The R version loaded by default is not compatible with the R_Packages or RStudio module loaded
