similar to: HTML help files missing for some packages

Having loaded a package that masks an object from another package, calling help(conflictedname, help_type = 'html') instead of producing a page giving the choices of help page available The page produced is Error in httpd("/library/NULL/help/nobs", NULL, NULL, c(48, 6f, 73, 74, : replacement has length zero This example is reproduced using library(gdata) help(nobs,

I'm not 100% sure this hasn't been covered already (I searched a bit, but I had a little trouble filtering down to a useful number of useful results). Anyway, when I install R on Windows, the installer asks to set the default help type. For some reason, I can set it as HTML in the installer, but the results open as if help_type = "text" by default. I presume this is related to

Hi, Having r-doc-html unstable package installed (as well as most r-cran-* packages), I cannot navigate around some links after doing help.start(). For example navigating into -> Packages -> stats4 yields an error "The file or folder /tmp/Rtmpquh6Pg/.R/library/stats4/html/00Index.html does not exist". Is anyone else having this problem?

Hello, I registered at Wiki but can't post on it. So, I just registered on this mailing list, just to request a new fonctionnality in HDT : - Adding a simple benchmark test, like https://cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php. It's useful to determine which distro/desktop I can install on an old computer. PS : I asked Linux Mint to add HDT to their ISO and they done it (since Linux Mint 19.3).

Hi, I have options(help_type="html") in my .Rprofile and when I type ?foo, the man page appears as a new tab in my web browser (which is already running). Fine. However, when I type ??foo, rather than the results appearing in a new tab, a new instance of the web browser is spawned with the default homepage displayed. Same with help.search("foo"). Am I the only one seeing this?

I'm exploring latency overhead of parallel PSOCK workers and noticed that serializing/unserializing data back to the main R session is significantly slower on Linux than it is on Windows/MacOS with similar hardware. Is there a reason for this difference and is there a way to avoid the apparent additional Linux overhead? I attempted to isolate the behavior with a test that simply returns

Hello: A call to help(..., help_type='text') fails with "package='fda": > install.packages('fda') > help(package='fda', help_type='text') Error in formatDL(nm, txt, indent = max(nchar(nm, "w")) + 3) : incorrect values of 'indent' and 'width' I have this wrapped inside "try" in

Hi, I' using Ubuntu 10.10/11.04 and on both of the systems help doesn't work unless I set options(help_type="html"). I hate to change context and help_type='html' distracts me. I want text based help inside console. Where should I look to fix this problem? -- Amol

This error can arise when getOption("width") is too small. 80 seems to be the limit for me with R-3.3.2 on Windows.

I don't understand the advantages of generating html help dynamically, but I have found some clear disadvantages. One is that I can no longer use a bookmark in my browser to access the list of packages and go from there to individual help pages. The other is that, if I try to use ESS instead (using options(help_type="html") in .Rprofile) - it is a mess. ESS splits the emacs frame

Dear all Shouldn't this start the html help for the chosen package? > help(package="boot", help_type = "html") Instead, the text version is displayed in less (I believe). However, I have no issues to start the html help with the following. > help.start() starting httpd help server ... done If 'xdg-open' is already running, it is *not* restarted, and you must

I'm trying to get help to print the help pages in html format to the terminal. This is in order to be able to see the html help files remotely. If I do printURL = function(file) {a=readLines(url(file));cat(a,sep="\n")} options(browser=printURL) options(help_type="html") then invoking help with ?print gets stuck. I think what happens is that the web server run by R that

If there are many small writes and thus setting TCP_NODELAY causes many small packets to be sent, it might make more sense to set TCP_QUICKACK instead.

This is the first time that I have tried to update packages with a tinkered around with .Rprofile. I start R with R --vanilla and it does not load my .Rprofile, but when I issue the command update.packages() R downloads the packages as expected, but then seems to load .Rprofile before compiling the packages sources. What am I doing wrong? kindest regards, Stephen Sefick see- Session info

I'm trying to diagnose a bizarre problem in which the help files invoked from R are partially defective. help(), for instance, is missing the Description, Arguments and See Also sections; as are help files for other commands (see below). I've built 2.8.1, 2.10.1 and HEAD with the same results; do I need to set an environment or configuration variable? help

I noticed about a couple weeks ago that my R start up script starting showing the below errors, following the line "Type 'q()' to quit R" Not sure what I did different and so far it hasn't caused major problems but kind of fear that it will. Can you please help? I also posted my Rprofile below. Attempting to load the environment 'package:R.utils' R.methodsS3 v1.2.2

Hello, I wrote a function to show the help/index page of a package in a browser (and want to include this in an update for a CRAN package). I asked in R-help how to obtain the 00Index.html file, Duncan Murdoch suggested to inspect (see http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Obtain-00Index-html-tt4697661.html) tools:::httpd (thank you therefore!). So I came up with: help.index <- function (pkg,

Hi Everyone, I recently bought a Tripp-Lite SMART1500LCD for my Linux Mint 19.3 machine, connected via a USB cable. I installed Nut 2.7.4 from the Mint package repository via sudo apt update && sudo apt install nut. Everything works great: NUT issues low battery warning when it reaches the set low battery point and then issues shutdown commands...computer shuts down..then the UPS shuts
