[R] Very odd issue getting "Input/output error" running shiny app from index.html locally but same shiny on my server working fine
[forgot to hit reply-all] Hi Chris, When I have encountered similar sounding problems in the past I was able to work around them as follows. Instead of running rstudio locally, I run rstudio-server locally and then in a browser I enter the URL http://localhost:8787/ HTH, Eric On Mon, May 19, 2025 at 6:21?PM Eric Berger <ericjberger at gmail.com> wrote:> Hi Chris, > When I have encountered similar sounding problems in the past I was able > to work around them as follows. > Instead of running rstudio locally, I run rstudio-server locally and then > in a browser I enter the URL http://localhost:8787/ > > HTH, > Eric > > On Mon, May 19, 2025 at 6:01?PM Chris Evans via R-help < > r-help at r-project.org> wrote: > >> I realise that shiny and Rstudio is often seen as OT here but I have a >> strong suspicion that the issue is R or R/OS related so I hope someone >> here will have some thoughts that might help me. >> >> The scenario is that as of yesterday running my shiny project locally >> from within Rtudio, i.e. by opening the index.html with preview, gets me >> "Input/output error" when I click on a link to an app. >> >> The same shiny running on my server (https://shiny.psyctc.org) runs >> fine.

[R] Very odd issue getting "Input/output error" running shiny app from index.html locally but same shiny on my server working fine
Oooh thanks.? I should probably have thought of that: this list is brilliant when my brain goes on strike. OK, it's http://127.0.0.1:5071 for me and using the "view the page with the system web browser" when I have the index.html page opened via Rstudio has the system browser point to file:///run/user/1000/doc/9065bcbf/index.html and if I click on the link to the app it goes to file:///run/user/1000/doc/9065bcbf/apps/COREpapers1 and says "Your file couldn?t be accessed" Then if I open a console with root privileges I get to this: ??? root at tuxedo-os:/run/user/1000# cd doc ??? bash: cd: doc: Permission denied ??? root at tuxedo-os:/run/user/1000# ls doc ??? ls: cannot access 'doc': Permission denied and this: ?? root at tuxedo-os:/run/user# ls -lsart ?? total 0 ?? 0 drwxr-xr-x? 3 root? root??? 60 May 19 15:36 . ?? 0 drwx------ 21 chris chris? 660 May 19 16:42 1000 ?? 0 drwxr-xr-x 43 root? root? 1160 May 19 16:46 .. and ?? root at tuxedo-os:/run/user/1000# ls -lsart ?? ls: cannot access 'doc': Permission denied ?? ls: cannot access 'gvfs': Permission denied ?? total 12 ?? ? d?????????? ? ????? ??????? ???????????? ? gvfs ?? ? d?????????? ? ????? ??????? ???????????? ? doc ?? 0 srw-rw-rw-? 1 chris chris?? 0 May 19 15:36 bus ?? 0 drwx------? 2 chris chris? 60 May 19 15:36 gcr ?? 0 srw-------? 1 chris chris?? 0 May 19 15:36 drkonqi-coredump-launcher ?? 0 drwxr-xr-x? 2 chris chris? 60 May 19 15:36 speech-dispatcher ?? 0 srw-rw-rw-? 1 chris chris?? 0 May 19 15:36 snapd-session-agent.socket ?? 0 srw-rw-rw-? 1 chris chris?? 0 May 19 15:36 pk-debconf-socket ?? 0 srw-rw-rw-? 1 chris chris?? 0 May 19 15:36 pipewire-0-manager ?? 0 srw-rw-rw-? 1 chris chris?? 0 May 19 15:36 pipewire-0 ?? 0 drwx------? 2 chris chris 160 May 19 15:36 gnupg ?? 0 drwx------? 3 chris chris? 60 May 19 15:36 dbus-1 ?? 0 -rw-rw----? 1 chris chris?? 0 May 19 15:36 pipewire-0-manager.lock ?? 0 -rw-rw----? 1 chris chris?? 0 May 19 15:36 pipewire-0.lock ?? 0 drwx------? 2 chris chris? 80 May 19 15:36 pulse ?? 0 drwx------? 2 chris chris? 80 May 19 15:36 keyring ?? 0 srwxrwxr-x? 1 chris chris?? 0 May 19 15:36 kwallet5.socket ?? 0 drwx------? 2 chris chris? 40 May 19 15:36 gvfsd ?? 0 drwx------? 2 chris chris? 60 May 19 15:36 dconf ?? 0 drwx------? 2 chris chris? 60 May 19 15:36 at-spi ?? 4 -rw-rw-r--? 1 chris chris? 77 May 19 15:36 KSMserver__0 ?? 4 -rw-------? 1 chris chris 330 May 19 15:36 iceauth_RTpbEQ ?? 0 drwxr-xr-x? 7 chris chris 180 May 19 15:36 systemd ?? 0 drwxrwxr-x? 2 chris chris? 60 May 19 15:36 Nextcloud ?? 0 drwxr-xr-x? 3 root? root?? 60 May 19 15:36 .. ?? 0 drwx------? 3 chris chris? 80 May 19 15:39 .flatpak-helper ?? 4 -rw-------? 1 chris chris? 99 May 19 15:40 .Xauthority ?? 0 drwx------? 3 chris chris? 60 May 19 15:40 snap.thunderbird ?? 0 drwx------? 4 chris chris? 80 May 19 15:43 app ?? 0 drwx------? 3 chris chris? 60 May 19 15:51 .ecore ?? 0 drwxr-xr-x 10 chris chris 200 May 19 16:37 .flatpak ?? 0 drwxr-xr-x? 2 chris chris 160 May 19 16:37 .dbus-proxy ?? 0 drwx------ 21 chris chris 660 May 19 16:42 . So I think this confirms that this is an OS issue and something is putting /run/user/1000/doc off limits even for root though /run/user/1000 is open at least to root and presumably I can see I am now way off piste here but if anyone? has any suggestions, even about the likely best places to take this next, I would appreciate it. Many thanks Eric and all (I have learned SO much from this list over hm, well I have kept messages going back nine years but I know it's much longer back than that!)
