I have an Rstudio Server installation on a Linux Azure VM that seems frozen and also crashes any browser I try to login with.
I have restarted the VM and separately restarted RStudio Server (similarly to the solution in this post) a number of times, but it does not change the behavior. I didn't think I had it set to reload an environment or operation upon restart, but perhaps I accidentally did. The last thing I was doing with the server was a large sparse matrix operation that turned out to be too much for it.
Since the problem occurs immediately after the app loads, I'm not sure how to reset its state. I tried following these instructions but it didn't work:
I renamed ~/.rstudio to ~/.rstudio.backup while RStudio Server was stopped and it was recreated on the next start, but it still resumed in the same state. I saw mentions of ~/.local/share/rstudio/ and ~/.config/rstudio in the support docs, but they do not seem to exist in this Azure Ubuntu installation.
I also moved and renamed the folder of the last used R project, but it had no effect. There is a .config/R/ folder but it only contains a rsconnect folder and 2 empty subfolders.
I finally got it. After shutting down and restarting RStudio Server it was necessary to run this command immediately after RStudio Server loaded:
