[rkward-devel] Dear devel list: rkward is broken in Ubuntu Intrepid - what can we do?
Dear devel list There have been a lot of reports about problems installing rkward in intrepid. It is also announced in a message on the R site (under the instructions on how to add the R repository to your ubuntu installation). I'm right now in the process of installing rkward on a new intrepid installation - and will probably get there today or tomorrow. In my opinion rkward is the best interface to R and a lot of people are beginning to depend on it. Therefore I believe it is very important to ensure it doesn't suddenly fall behind. I don't know how to deal with this problem and I am not a programmer myself but I'm interested in finding a solution.

To your question. Try getwd() to see where the workspace is located, then go hunting there for something that looks like a workspace. When R starts it looks for an existing workspace in the current folder and perhaps somewhere else (?). Every time you close R it will ask to save the workspace. About startup arguments, the startup script is '/usr/local/bin/rkward' (at least on Ubuntu). You may find the upstart command in there and change it. I'm also extremely pleased with rkward - I think it could be a major selling point to universities and others who need a professional and accessible statistical package. Best regards Finn On 2008-11-10 18:57, Horace Tso wrote: Finn, yes indeed I meant workspace. The original problem was, a mysterious workspace is loaded every time I launch Rkward. I don't want that workspace, but there is no way to tell Rkward not to load it. I figured out a trick over the weekend, which may be non-standard but it works just fine for me. Right now, I have an icon created for Rkward on the KDE panel (ie, the bar at the bottom of the screen, kind of like Windows' Quick Launch) so that I could launch by clicking the icon. I was able to right-click it and choose Properties. In Properties, there is a field where I could tell it where to start. By default, it's left blank. When i specify a folder, the mysterious workspace is no longer loaded. Still, a question for you : is there any way to tell Rkward the usual command-line options, such as --no-restore, --no-site-file, etc. Thank you for responding. Horace PS. So far Rkward has worked out quite well for me. I'm looking forward to the next release.

If that's the case it always has to run in a workspace thus creating one in memory if you don't choose one yourself. You may want to go into 'Settings > RKWard Settings > General' and change 'Startup Actions'. If, on the other hand, you are referring to a graph (ie. bargraph etc.) that you made in an earlier session this comes from the the .rkward folder in your home folder (ie. ~/.rkward) There is an option to reset output in the edit menu (if the output window is active) Regards Finn On 2008-11-05 23:34, Horace Tso wrote: Folks, I'm making progress moving from Windows to Linux and have RKward up and running. I read somewhere that Rkward's supposed to be the Tinn-R for linux and Tinn-R has worked out great for me. So naturally I'd like to do the following, if possible, 1. How to ask Rkward not to load the last saved image. Right now whenever it starts, it loads an image from some obscure corner of my directory. I can't quite figure out where it gets that image from. On the command line, I can do --no-restore. But there seems to be no place to sneak in these command line options under Rkward. A startup config file hidden somewhere? 2. Customize CTRL-keys. Just out of the box, many menu options do not have a control key associated with them. Any way to pick my favorite key? 3. I'm used to typing ?command on the R-console and get a HTML help page pops up. But when I do that, a shockingly large window comes up and complains in many words about some error which I can't quite figure out what it's saying (sorry don't have linux in front of me right now). 4. I see there is an 'Output' tab by default. But command results are sent to R-console, and nothing seems to happen in 'Output'. I have R 2.7.1 running under KDE on openSUSE 10.3. TIA.

Hi I'm following the list, but not a developer, just let me know if it is not appropriate for me to post. I have installed successfully with no errors on ubuntu 8.10 Gnome (with kdelibs5-dev 4.2.0-0ubuntu2-intrepid2) I installed it over the former 0.5.0 version. When I start from command line it spews a bunch of what appears to be warnings about KAction (is this a conflict of shortcuts?) like this: rkward(16804): Shortcut for KAction "window_show_workspace" "Show/Hide Workspace Browser" set with QShortcut::setShortcut()! See KAction documentation. And when the rkward is running, loading a new workspace produces a set of warnings like this: rkward(19203): Shortcut for KAction "interrupt" "Interrupt running command" set with QShortcut::setShortcut()!

Firstly, two people pointed out that we had an embarassing crash-problem with the upcoming R 2.9. I hope to have fixed that. Secondly, the German c't magazine is asking for permission to include RKWard on a covermount DVD-ROM. They say RKWard has been pre-selected to be included in this collection of free and shareware programs. Not sure what "pre-selected" means, whether all they still need is our consent (which I strongly intend to give), or whether they will do some further post-selecting after that. However, c't really is a pretty renowned IT magazine in Germany, and looking for developers to help in our project, a paragraph or two in c't might be just the sort of publicity we need to get forward. --- Well, giving them explicit permission to distribute under the GPL is a no-brainer. The other part is getting RKWard into a presentable state. c't is asking for feedback until April 1st. So: I've created a new test version 0.5.0c-test1, available in source and i386 .deb from http://rkward.sourceforge.net/temp/ (or from SVN). Note that I'll only take care of a KDE 4 release, right now. A KDE 3 release of all our fixes will follow (0.4.9b), but that's not my priority. If you've been following SVN, recently, you've seen all but the most recent changes, already. So although releasing before April 1st could probably best be called "sudden", I think we really are in pretty good shape to rush it this much. Still I would like to ask you to download 0.5.0c-test1 and 1. test everything you care about once more - Especially, if you have a chance to test on Ubuntu, and with combinations of KDE and R other than KDE 4.2.1 and R 2.9, that would be great. 2. remind me of important issues that still need fixing. Two things that are not yet included in the test1 release: 1. The German translation update provided by Jannis. I'll wait until Stefan has given it a look (go ahead and commit to SVN, when ready). 2. The item response theory plugins by Meik. Are those fit to be included in the "official" pluginmap? In whole, or only partially? I would very much like to rush the release, in order to meet the April 1st deadline. Since my own time schedule is hairy as well, that means I need all substantial feedback before Monday morning. So, please, if you can find the time, take a look until then.

Re: [rkward-devel] RKWard 0.5.0c testing, ubuntu intrepid
I have tested this too, on a completely fresh ubuntu 8.10 desktop 32bit Gnome with standard R (2.8.1) The deb package is generated without errors but a bunch of warnings (mostly compiler warning I think) that don't seem to influence functioning. The deb-package installs without any problems. I start it from console and there are no errors, menus appear to be working. Only, the icon is missing both from the menu and from the application switcher. I have an extra laptop sitting around so I have set up a test machine with ubuntu 8.10, I could set up other configurations if you would like that.

Most of the symptoms you detail likely have a common cause: Some parts of RKWard get installed to a wrong location, and then they can't be found at runtime. The problem here is, that the correct paths differ across systems. Since don't have a Ubuntu installation myself, I have a hard time, figuring out the correct approach. I created a new test release and corresponding .deb a minute ago. It is to be expected that the .deb still does not work for you, though, since it was built for Debian unstable. Could you please try the following steps, and write back on the results: In your /etc/apt/sources.list add this line: deb-src http://rkward.sourceforge.net/debian ./ Now go to a temporary directory and enter: apt-get source rkward This should pull you the 0.5.0c-test3 sources and build scripts. Then: sudo apt-get build-dep rkward This will install everything needed to compile. Two additional ones: sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev sudo apt-get install fakeroot These are needed to create debian packages. Now inside your temporary directory: cd rkward-0.5.0c-test3 dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot Now your temporary directory (cd ..) should contain a .deb built for your system. Install that and test. I know it's a number of steps, but this would really help a lot. If the problem about missing plugins remains, could you finally go to ~/.kde4/share/config/ and remove/rename the "rkwardrc" file? Does this help?

After source install it returned /usr/local/bin/rkward in general, if you compile software from source via make or something similar, it usually gets installed in /usr/local/(bin|share|lib...), to not mess up the distribution's installation (i.e. overwriting files that belong to a package, "make install" will not warn you if it does so). official distribution packages on the other hand usually install to /usr/(bin|share|lib...), so do the .deb packages thomas is providing. moreso, a .deb should *not* install to /usr/local, to not overwrite your own compiled programs. you could say, everything in /usr/local is your personal playground, and debian packages should stick to /usr instead. the trouble especially with ubuntu 8.04 is that rkward 0.5.0 is a kde4 application, and that this version of ubuntu expects the installation of all kde4 stuff to /usr/lib/kde4/(bin|share|lib...) -- that's why you had to add that to your PATH prior to compilation, because it is not a common path... (ubuntu 8.10 puts everything in /usr again, so we're not in any path trouble there). alltogether, you should look for the rkward binary in /usr/lib/kde4/bin, and check if the menu entry tries to start /usr/lib/kde4/bin/rkward (with full path). this actually should be accomplished by the diff above: - get rkward_0.5.0c-test5.orig.tar.gz from http://rkward.sourceforge.net/temp/ - get rkward_0.5.0c-test5-1~hardy1.diff.gz from above - tar xzvf rkward_0.5.0c-test5.orig.tar.gz - cd rkward_0.5.0c-test5 - zcat ../rkward_0.5.0c-test5-1~hardy1.diff.gz | patch -p1 - chmod a+x debian/rules - export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/kde4/bin - fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -b -D - dpkg -i ../rkward_0.5.0c-test5-1~hardy1_i386.deb have you tried to install the precompiled ubuntu .deb yet? o http://reaktanz.de/stuff/R/rkward_0.5.0c-test5-1~hardy1_i386.deb After uninstalling everything rkward and deleting everything with rkward in it I tried but it says 'Dependency is not satisfiable: kdelibs5' Tried "apt-get install kdelibs5*" but get a host of unmet dependencies The deb made from Thomas' instructions installs but is showing the same problem as before: It wants to launch 'rkward' but finds nothing and has no icon. 'which rkward' returns nothing rkward will not start from menu or command line (the reason it starts from command line for some is, of course, that they use the same console they used to compile so the path contains "/usr/lib/kde4/bin") Starting it directly with "/usr/lib/kde4/bin/rkward" seems to be working.

Re: [rkward-devel] Rkward crashes on Fedora
Hi I'm seeing a crash in ubuntu 8.10 now after updating to R2.9 with rkward 0.5c (the deb package I built locally) after a svn-source install (/usr/local/bin) it works fine again. I have done the tests suggested by Thomas on the good and the bad version and can send the output it they are still needed.

I have no good idea on why this is happening. Perhaps one of these pointers will provide a useful cue to work with: 1. The symbol "_ZNK7QString11lastIndexOfER7QRegExpi" should be in Qt. More precisely in libQtCore.so . You can run something like strings /usr/lib/libQtCore.so | grep "lastIndexOf" to verify it really exists (with that precise name). Interestingly, here (on Debian), the symbol is called "_ZNK7QString11lastIndexOfERK7QRegExpi". That's real close, but note the missing "K". @pingouLab ~]$ strings /usr/lib64/libQtCore.so | grep "lastIndexOf" _ZNK10QByteArray11lastIndexOfEci _ZNK10QByteArray11lastIndexOfERKS_i _ZNK7QString11lastIndexOfE5QChariN2Qt15CaseSensitivityE _ZNK7QString11lastIndexOfERK7QRegExpi _ZNK7QString11lastIndexOfERKS_iN2Qt15CaseSensitivityE _ZN9QtPrivate23QStringList_lastIndexOfEPK11QStringListRK7QRegExpi On the computer where rkward crashes (after installing qt-devel) @pingouRed ~]$ strings /usr/lib/libQtCore.so | grep "lastIndexOf" _ZNK10QByteArray11lastIndexOfEci _ZNK10QByteArray11lastIndexOfERKS_i _ZNK7QString11lastIndexOfE5QChariN2Qt15CaseSensitivityE _ZNK7QString11lastIndexOfERK7QRegExpi _ZNK7QString11lastIndexOfERKS_iN2Qt15CaseSensitivityE _ZN9QtPrivate23QStringList_lastIndexOfEPK11QStringListRK7QRegExpi 1b.

If you manage to have one version of rkward with that crash and one without, running ldd /path/to/rkward.bin on both binaries could possibly show a relevant difference. Where it crashes: http://fpaste.org/paste/9599 Where is does not crash: http://fpaste.org/paste/9600 3. Assuming something is going wrong inside rkward code, perhaps trashing some memory locations in a strange way, it would be helpful to have the precise context. Try running rkward --debug-level 5 produce the crash and post the last ~20 lines just before the "undefined symbol" message. Please do this several times to make sure the context stays the same. If it does not, post several versions.

[rkward-devel] rkward will not open RData files with non-ascii characters in file path via command line or xdg
Dear dev list I have tried to find a way to report a bug - I apologize if this is the wrong way. My system is Ubuntu lucid 10.04 rkward is the latest stable via ppa Bug: rkward fails to open RData files via commandline which contain Danish characters in their file paths. The error shows the path with the offending characters shown as the utf8 "unknown char" character. The same RData file can be opened from the rkward menu "open workspace" without problems. I have set up my system to automatically open RData files in rkward so this issue is also present when I doubleclick an RData file. To reproduce: !) create or copy a RData file somewhere 2) change its name so it contains a Danish letter eg. ø 3) on the commandline: rkward ø.RData expected result: rkward opens with ø.RData as its workspace. actual result: rkward opens and then produces an error which says There has been an error opening file '/home/finn/?.Rdata': best regards Finn -- All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.

Re: [rkward-devel] quantal
Hi developers Let me start by saying how amazed I am with your work, I never cease to be impressed with rkward :) Now to my issues I'm on xubuntu 12.04 R from CRAN, 2.15.2 (all issues were the same with 2.15.1) I have two different issues with two different versions of rkward: Issue 1: rkward in the repository: Recently rkward from the repositories started to give an error on startup "The rkward R-library could not be loaded at all, or not in the correct version.". If I continue it will soon crash. It started about 3-4 weeks ago. I was extremely busy at the time and just hurried and installed the svn version (currently ver. 4398) after removing the one from repository (synaptic "complete remove"). Issue 2: compiled rkward trunk: the "configure shortcuts" menu is missing. I just reinstalled the repository version, it still crashes like before Best -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.

And God does it start fast now. It's great to see how rkward moves forward. Unfortunately it turned out I accidentally installed from old sources. Once I updated the "configure shortcuts" was gone again, and further it started crashing as well. I then, by hand, deleted anything rkward related on my whole system, installed from the new sources again (with the options above). This time no chrashes but still no shortcuts menu. I then added the the stable ppa "cran-version" and installed rkward v6 over the compiled one. No shortcuts menu but crashes. Deleted everything again, installed v6 from PPA, no shortcuts menu but no chrashes. Uninstalled, removed PPA, deleted, installed v5.7. Now: shortcuts menu and no crashes. So the crashes seem to be due to corruption/incompatibilites in the config files _somewhere_. The menu issue could be due some change in sources in kde, perhaps. Or maybe I'm missing some library or ... well I don't know. Anyway, now I have a working system again. Regards Thomas -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
