Specifically, I'm trying to get RStudio to work on Ubuntu 12.04. Yesterday it was working fine, but now when I either click or try to start it from terminal, exactly nothing happens. The prompt returns nothing, the click produces nothing. What could have caused this and how do I fix it?

RStudio desktop or server? What have you tried already? Help us help you by providing as much information as possible. – Elder Geek May 06 '14 at 13:41

Anything interesting in syslog or dpkg.log? – Elder Geek May 06 '14 at 13:49

Tried dmesg which produced this: [ 1059.142229] type=1400 audit(1399385930.889:31): apparmor="DENIED" operation="capable" parent=1 profile="/usr/sbin/cupsd" pid=1057 comm="cupsd" pid=1057 comm="cupsd" capability=36 capname="block_suspend" – Benjamin Lindqvist May 06 '14 at 14:29

dpkg.log just says rstudio was successfully installed. – Benjamin Lindqvist May 06 '14 at 14:30

Any updates applied or packages added/removed between yesterday when it worked and today when it didn't? – Elder Geek May 06 '14 at 14:53

Which of these options did you choose on initial install? Desktop or server? https://www.rstudio.com/ide/download/ – Elder Geek May 06 '14 at 15:13

Desktop. The only thing I've installed since yesterday is Matlab. – Benjamin Lindqvist May 06 '14 at 16:59

Re-installed Rstudio now, still not working. Nothing noteworthy in log files apart from that AppArmor thing. I installed the RSQLite package yesterday aswell, I seem to have read somewhere about sqlite/apparmor issues. Will do research on that. – Benjamin Lindqvist May 06 '14 at 18:06

Found the issue.
For some reason, locale issues were causing it. When trying to run r from terminal, there was some locale related error message, so I just generated and reconfigured a new one as described here:
Suddenly RStudio was working fine.

would you please edit to include the locale related error message in your question and what you did to fix it in your answer? In this way you will be helping others who have this problem. Thank you! – Elder Geek May 06 '14 at 18:27

Try putting apparmor in complain mode. this may allow Rstudio to work as well as give clues as to why it's throwing that DENIED at you.
