Unable to see rstudio GUI after installation

There is crucial information missing in the problem description.

1) What is the exact model and make of Arduino that you are using?

2) What is the exact version of Ubuntu that you are using?

3) What is the output of this Terminal command?

cat /etc/lsb-release; uname -a

Thank you for the prompt response! Here are the answers to your questions -
some comments below that...

1) What is the exact model and make of Arduino that you are using?

Arduino Uno, 1.0.6

2) What is the exact version of Ubuntu that you are using?

Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, 64 bit

3) What is the output of this Terminal command?

cat /etc/lsb-release; uname -a

---------------------------------------------------

My comments:

1) I used the instructions from http://www.pluggy.me.uk/arduino-ubuntu/ to
install the Arduino IDE. They are for an older version of Ubuntu (10.10).
But those instructions use the Synaptics Package Manager, which seemed to
me to be easier to install jre, gcc-avr...

2) Actually, the installation went smoothly, only I cannot see the IDE - I
realized that this is a problem I seem to have with GUIs - I installed
RStudio (which is a GUI for the statistical software called R) - there too,
I had the same problem - the installation went smoothly, but the GUI
refuses to display...

3) Is this a problem with my having installed 32-bit versions (by mistake!)
of the siftware?

  Thanks!

First try installing the newest version of R and RStudio using the following procedure:

 http://mark911.wordpress.com/2014/11/06/how-to-install-newest-version-of-r-and-rstudio-in-ubuntu-14-04-lts-using-a-bash-script/

Then retry launching both R and RStudio.

If you still cannot launch the RStudio GUI after upgrading R and RStudio, please send us the full output of these Terminal commands:

cd $HOME

/usr/lib/rstudio/bin/rstudio-backtrace.sh

cat rstudio-backtrace.txt

cat ~/.rstudio-desktop/log/rdesktop.log

echo

cat ~/.rstudio-desktop/log/cat rsession*.log

rstudio --run-diagnostics

Please also send us the output of this command:

cat ~/.rstudio-desktop/log/rsession*.log

There was a mistake in one of the previous commands.

Is there not a PPA you can use:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=Arduino

Make sure you filter for Trusty to see if one can be used there.....

@actionparsnip & ravi: I suggest focusing on the rstudio GUI issue in this thread.

@ravi: could you please copy the arduino problem description into a separate thread, which you can create at the following location?

https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+addquestion

I would like to keep rstudio and arduino in separate threads, to avoid confusion....

The Arduino problem is fixed :)
I just installed Arduino from the Ubuntu Software Center and it worked
fine...
I only had a problem with seeing the board - I could only see the serial
port if I logged if I logged in as root - but I found a solution to that at
http://playground.arduino.cc/Linux/Ubuntu.
What I had to do was: sudo usermod -aG dialout <myuser>

And now the Arduino IDE launches without any problem and I am able to run
sketches...
Thanks - I can now concentrate on the RStudio problem... Thanks!

Waiting for Terminal output of commands from post #4 and #5.

Ok, I ran the script at mark911.wordpress.com...
After running it, R works fine form the command line, but RStudio still does not launch...
Here are the outputs of the commands I was asked to run:

Your Terminal output shows this error message:

ravi@Perseus:~$ rstudio --run-diagnostics
rstudio: error while loading shared libraries: libuuid.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So run these Terminal commands:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libuuid1

Then send us the output of this command:

rstudio --run-diagnostics

Also run these commands:

sudo apt-get install libjpeg62

sudo apt-get install -f

And this one too:

file /usr/lib/rstudio/bin/rstudio

What is the output of

ldd `which rstudio`

Yes, that fixed it :)
RStudio now runs fine...
But I did run the script at mark911.wordpress.com exactly as it was there...

Thank you, everybody for your time and patience!!

  Ravi
    :)

Ravi: One last thing.... What is the output of this command?

uname -m

It should say

x86_64

If not, you still have an issue (I think)

The script at mark911.wordpress.com works 100% fine for me and I also use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit edition (just like you).

So it should have worked....

Mark,

ravi@Perseus:~$ uname -m
x86_64

So, all is ok?

  Ravi

The script on mark911 contains instructions for 32bit and 64bit.
I assume, Ravi has overlooked that and used the 32bit part.

Just follow the lines for 64bit and try again.

Manfred,
  The problem got fixed - Mark fixed it for me in Post 23...

  Thanks for the help!

  Ravi
    :)

Ravi: it just means that my script was not executed properly. If you run the script CAREFULLY line by line, you will not get these types of problems. I wrote the script and tested it several times in the past. It never installs the 32-bit version. So I assume that you ran it, it gave errors, you ignored those errors and the script did not install anything at all, leaving you with your original 32-bit install of rstudio.....

It only installs the 32-bit version if uname -m is not equal to x86_64

The lesson is to be more careful in the future and immediately send us any error messages that occur when running those types of scripts....

Mark,
  Well, I guess all's well that ends well, but I did not notice any errors
when I ran your script... But I did not run it line by line, so possibly I
missed the errors...
  Also, as I showed in a post, uname -m is indeed x86_64...
  Anyway, thanks for your patience and ready help!
  I have another query about a warning when I run RStudio, but that will
have to wait till this evening when I get home...

  Ravi
