[20.03] rstudio is broken

[tbenst]

Describe the bug
I cannot run rstudio through nixpkgs 20.03 on either NixOS w/ Nvidia GPU nor Ubuntu 18.04 w/ intel graphics.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

> nix run nixpkgs.rstudio
$ rstudio
qt.glx: qglx_findConfig: Failed to finding matching FBConfig for QSurfaceFormat(version 2.0, options QFlags<QSurfaceFormat::FormatOption>(), depthBufferSize -1, redBufferSize 1, greenBufferSize 1, blueBufferSize 1, alphaBufferSize -1, stencilBufferSize -1, samples -1, swapBehavior QSurfaceFormat::SingleBuffer, swapInterval 1, colorSpace QSurfaceFormat::DefaultColorSpace, profile  QSurfaceFormat::NoProfile)
qt.glx: qglx_findConfig: Failed to finding matching FBConfig for QSurfaceFormat(version 2.0, options QFlags<QSurfaceFormat::FormatOption>(), depthBufferSize -1, redBufferSize 1, greenBufferSize 1, blueBufferSize 1, alphaBufferSize -1, stencilBufferSize -1, samples -1, swapBehavior QSurfaceFormat::SingleBuffer, swapInterval 1, colorSpace QSurfaceFormat::DefaultColorSpace, profile  QSurfaceFormat::NoProfile)
Could not initialize GLX

Do you have opengl enabled in your systems? https://nixos.org/nixos/options.html#hardware+opengl

[tbenst]

Yes, I do, as well as driSupport enabled for both 64 and 32 bit. Running an nvidia card.

I can also reproduce this same problem with intel graphics using nixpkgs on Ubuntu.

[changlinli]

Hmmmm... odd. I'll try to take a look later tonight. (The dreaded "it's working for me" applies here, NixOS 20.03 on Intel graphics)

[changlinli]

Hmmmm... strangely nix run nixpkgs.rstudio doesn't work for me (it immediately returns with exit code 0), but nix-shell -p rstudio --run "rstudio" works fine.

[DamienCassou]

I have the same problem.

@changlinli even your second expression drops the error message:

nix-shell -p rstudio --run "rstudio"
qt.glx: qglx_findConfig: Failed to finding matching FBConfig for QSurfaceFormat(version 2.0, options QFlags<QSurfaceFormat::FormatOption>(), depthBufferSize -1, redBufferSize 1, greenBufferSize 1, blueBufferSize 1, alphaBufferSize -1, stencilBufferSize -1, samples -1, swapBehavior QSurfaceFormat::SingleBuffer, swapInterval 1, colorSpace QSurfaceFormat::DefaultColorSpace, profile  QSurfaceFormat::NoProfile)
qt.glx: qglx_findConfig: Failed to finding matching FBConfig for QSurfaceFormat(version 2.0, options QFlags<QSurfaceFormat::FormatOption>(), depthBufferSize -1, redBufferSize 1, greenBufferSize 1, blueBufferSize 1, alphaBufferSize -1, stencilBufferSize -1, samples -1, swapBehavior QSurfaceFormat::SingleBuffer, swapInterval 1, colorSpace QSurfaceFormat::DefaultColorSpace, profile  QSurfaceFormat::NoProfile)
Could not initialize GLX

I'm on Fedora, not NixOS though.

Hah, yet another failure:

$ nix-shell -p rstudio --run "rstudio"
/nix/store/p0ngr8w2g7s4nfja1rw2hrbwwj0fqhax-qtwebengine-5.14.2/libexec/QtWebEngineProcess: /nix/store/ikl21vjfq900ccbqg1xasp83kadw6q8y-glibc-2.32-46/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by /nix/store/bp3wngs9xnrh4il4n86wc8xvhsi8la00-gfortran-9.3.0-lib/lib/libstdc++.so.6)
/tmp/nix-shell-31748-0/rc: Zeile 1: 31774 Trace/breakpoint trap   (Speicherabzug geschrieben) rstudio

[turion]

That was on the following system:

• system: "x86_64-linux"
• host os: Linux 5.4.77, NixOS, 21.03pre252083.2deeb58f494 (Okapi)
• multi-user?: yes
• sandbox: yes
• version: nix-env (Nix) 2.3.8
• channels(root): "musnix, nixos-21.05pre276379.266dc8c3d05, nixos-hardware"
• channels(turion): "nixpkgs-21.11pre297902.e8597594274, home-manager"
• nixpkgs: /home/turion/.nix-defexpr/channels/nixpkgs

So it turns out that my error message does not apply as it is not 20.03.

On current master it works for me though! So I believe this issue should be closed since 20.03 is end of life.

I have the same problem on nixpkgs-unstable, here running on archlinux, with nix run and nix-shell:

RStudio also seems to be broken on nixos but it launches, the problem is that its missing most of the text in the main UI (#138134)

[Artturin]

@Dettorer the non-nixos issue is probably because opengl doesn't work on non-nixos without using a wrapper such as https://github.com/guibou/nixGL

[TheSirC]

Maybe we could start by updating the package to a more recent version ? Upstream is already at 1.4.1717 when we are at v1.2.5042 even on unstable...

[Artturin]

i'll try

[Artturin]

@TheSirC #139887

[TheSirC]

@TheSirC #139887

What you pulled of is short of black magic to me because I tried to package this new version and failed spectacularly so hats off to you ! 👏

[Artturin]

@TheSirC please test it by running nix run nixpkgs#nixpkgs-review pr 139887 in a cloned nixpkgs. after it is done building run the binary in ./result
