I have installed R 4
$ R
R version 4.1.1 (2021-08-10) -- "Kick Things"
and then Rstudio from the installer. The software centre shows the installation as correct, I have the icon on the application bar, yet, when I click on it, it does not start. From terminal I get:
$ rstudio
WebEngineContext used before QtWebEngine::initialize() or OpenGL context creation failed.
Failed to create OpenGL context for format QSurfaceFormat(version 2.0, options QFlags<QSurfaceFormat::FormatOption>(), depthBufferSize 24, redBufferSize -1, greenBufferSize -1, blueBufferSize -1, alphaBufferSize -1, stencilBufferSize 8, samples 0, swapBehavior QSurfaceFormat::DefaultSwapBehavior, swapInterval 1, colorSpace QSurfaceFormat::DefaultColorSpace, profile QSurfaceFormat::NoProfile)
Aborted (core dumped)
What could be the problem?
Thank you
