Public bug reported: System information: Kubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal using r-base 2.15.1-5ubuntu1 and r-base-core 2.15.1-5ubuntu1 In addition I have installed 2.15.1-5ubuntu1, build-essential 11.5ubuntu3 and had done sudo apt-get build-dep r-base too. The uname -a command shows this message: Linux 3.5.0-17-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 9 19:32:08 UTC 2012 i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux
This is my system's memory output from the "free -h" command: total used free shared buffers almac. Mem: 1,2G 1,1G 155M 0B 25M 226M -/+ buffers/cache: 849M 407M Swap: 1,9G 100M 1,8G The problem is every time I want to install any package in r-cran with the function install.packages(), it doesn't matter the package or the mirror, it crashes. It seems to be a problem related with the r-base package and its dependencies, because when I try the same with an installed R version for windows running in wine, it does it as supposed. I attached the data to this bug related to the crash, however I don't know what additional data or information to collect in order to diagnose this problem. I would gladly submit any information that you think it could be useful to solve it. Thank you in advanced for any help given about this subject.
