File Open dialog slow on RStudio Desktop for Linux #1587
Comments
same issue on debian 9.2 |
This seems to be somehow a Gnome issue as rstudio under KDE with the same computer works flawlessly. Erwan Fedora 26 - Gnome 3.24.2 |
Gtk issue? I run xfce.. |
Hi, this is Ron, QA engineer at RStudio. I have not been able to reproduce the issue with RStudio Desktop on the following combinations, which include Gnome, Unity, and KDE:
I'm also unable to reproduce on Windows 10 Enterprise (1607) and macOS Sierra 10.12.6.
Any additional information would be appreciated. Thank you! |
Hi Ron, I'm using Debian 9.2, xfce 4.12. Issue is with Rstudio Desktop for me, pointing to local file system. There only seem to be an issue when I open an existing file, change something, and press "Save As". When creating a New FIle, the "Save As" dialog acts normally. |
Thanks for the extra information @ogsj -- I've now reproduced this on my Ubuntu 17.04 machine. In my case, I had to force the use of
If I do this, it takes ~5 seconds before the dialog shows up for me. |
I've been searching for a solution to this for weeks to no avail. I'm using Debian 9.2 stable and Gnome 3. Is anyone working on this? All dialogue boxes are slow, but Save As and Global Options are particularly bad (takes 10-20 seconds to open, 20 seconds to type something in). Removing ~/.RData, ~/.Rhistory, ~/.Rprofile, and ~/.rstudio-desktop does nothing. I made sure to install all the dependencies (https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/wiki/Installing-RStudio-Dependencies), reinstalled R and rstudio multiple times, and tried modifying QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME. And the file system is local. Launching from terminal gives the usual issues: load glyph failed err=6 face=0x2cebbf0, glyph=2798 |
Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge, there isn't a workaround available for this issue with v1.1.383. We do have a fix available in the daily build of RStudio (the v1.2 branch), at But we hope to push the associated fixes as part of a v1.1 patch release. |
Backported to 1.1 here: deefcd4 |
same for RStudio 1.1.383 on Linux Mint 18.2 Cinnamon 64bit: |
@bvhest can you please try the preview release of RStudio? https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/preview/ |
confirmed: RStudio Version 1.1.414 Preview from the above link works fine (on Linux Mint 18.2 Cinnamon 64bit)! |
I tried with RStudio Version 1.1.414 but I get the same, the file-dialog is no working |
At home, I'm using Linux Mint 18.2 with Rstudio v1.1.383, and having the same issue. The freezing appears to be correlated with pressing the shift key. At work, I use the Fedora (GNOME) version and it works always fine. |
