Fail to install R and Rstudio

[jfarland]

Describe the bug:

Hi there - I'm running the newest container image on an Ubuntu server for a project and would like to also point to some of my legacy code base in R via Rstudio. I followed the steps to get this going as outlined here

Unfortunately, it looks like the Install Tool functionality doesn't fully work for Rstudio Server or Desktop.

The expected behaviour is that a fresh Rstudio install would be available from the Install Tool functionality.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

From the main Jupyter application, I selected Install Tool and found the appropriate selection from the dropdown:

Following the instructions, I then copy/pasted into a terminal with the following error.

The tool does register in the dropdown.

But doesn't function:

It also looks like standard R fails with a similar error. Here's where R lives.

Here's the error from trying to kick up an R session.

Technical details:

• Workspace version: Not sure where to find this, echo $WORKSPACE_VERSION returns unknown.
• Docker version:
• Host Machine OS (Windows/Linux/Mac): Ubuntu 20.04 (LTS) x64
• Command used to start the workspace:

docker run -d \
     -v "/${PWD}:/workspace" \
     -p 8080:8080 \
     --name "xxx" \
     --env AUTHENTICATE_VIA_JUPYTER="xxx" \
     --shm-size 2g \
     --restart always \
     dagshub/ml-workspace:latest

• Browser (Chrome/Firefox/Safari): Microsoft Edge Version 92.0.902.73 (Official build) (x86_64)

Possible Fix:

It looks like this might be related to conflicts in R versioning via conda (some info found here and here
