R never gave me any serious problems until I tried to use it on Windows XP. I had 1.8.1 installed and working successfully for a few weeks. This morning when I launched it, I received this error message: "R for Windows GUI front-end has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I downloaded 1.9.0 and installed it, but when I launch it, I get this

All, I've encountered the same problem as others who have posted under the same subject. I've had R-1.8.1 installed and running since it was released. Yesterday morning when I tried to start Rgui.exe I got the subject error message. Since I live at the whim of the network administrators I can only assume it was a recent MS critical update. I tried installing R-1.9.0 but no joy. I

I installed R project 1.9.0 on Windows XP. The installation went well. Then, I rebooted. Next, I clicked the icon under Programs in the Start menu and received this error, "Fatal Error: Invalid HOMEDRIVE". I clicked OK to the error message. The program does not start. I went to a DOS prompt and did "echo %HOMEDRIVE%" and it returned "C:". This letter is a valid

Hi, Main objective: Let Rgui find my ~/.Rprofile and ~/.Renviron files, where ~ is equal to getwd("~"). I have few comments/questions: (A) On my WinXP Pro installation, the system environment variable 'HOME' is not availble to R, e.g. Sys.getenv("HOME") is empty. I believe this is default case (correct me if I'm wrong). However, if I set the "Start

I've had a interesting day with R; can anyone offer any advice? First with R 1.8.1. on XP Pro: "R for Windows GUI front-end has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I then tried installing 1.9.0. and got the "information" dialogue: "Fatal error: INVALID HOMEDRIVE" instead of a functioning R! I attempted to set

My test server was in very eavy load, running kolab's components: postfix, cyrus-imap and openldap A second test machine was sending, and reading emails as fast as it can. The CPU was never idle ! I left the server at about 17H30 and at 22H I find it "uncommitted" (difficult to work when the partition in read-only !) However the mount command report it as RW ! The /boot is still RW

When I try to start R from my desktop, an "information"-window pops up: "Fatal error: Invalid HOMEDRIVE". I already deleted and reinstalled the program, but the problem lasts. How can I solve this problem? I would be very glad, if you can give me a hint, what??s going wrong. Best regards Sabine Bader -- Sabine Bader Hamburger Str. 83 44135 Dortmund 0231/7950683

Dear colleagues, I am a beginner of using R. I am involved in some microarray data analyses and found that R is the most common software in this area. I tried to install the free software today. It seemed to be successful in installing, but when I trigger the short-cut, I got a error massage saying 'Fetal error: invalid HOMEDRIVE'. I have no idea where the homedrive was defined (or

Hello everyone, We are making extensive use of the homedrive mapping fields in AD. (automagically mapping a drive letter to a UNC path without a logon script) Since we sp2 applied to our clients, none of them have been able to map their home drives to our samba servers. According to Microsoft's q-article, http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q308580&, "this

Dear friends - windows R 3.3.3 - sorry to ask a simple question - but I cannot make setwd work properly in scripts In the example below I have made a directory in C (firstdir) and a directory in that (secdir) and the intention is to change directory to the second from the first - it works when I put the entire path but not the tilde - what am I missing? I was around rwf 2.14 as per the help

Hi, I have a domain controller which was configured to use the local profiles. We have a relatively small group whose work required it. Now we are moving toward using the domain for all machine with roaming profile. There are a lot of posts dealing with the roaming profiles and the folder redirection. But I've met some issues. My configuration: NS3 and SMB are hostnames of our servers.

Dear all, One of my students have installed R1.9.0 on windows, and gets the fatal error 'invalid HOMEDRIVE' Can anyone help her/me out on that one? Thanks in advance Søren Højsgaard [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all- Some recent change...perhaps a windows update, or perhaps a change in the network on which I use my computer....has made it impossible for me to start R. When I try to start the program, I get a message that says "Fatal error: invalid HOMEDRIVE". Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks much Chris ******* Chris Solomon Center for Limnology Univ. of Wisconsin (715) 356-9494

Hello list, I sent this about two weeks ago, but I didn't get an answer... so I'm pushing my luck. :-) QUESTION#1: What EXACLTLY causes the HOMEDRIVE, HOMEPATH, and HOMESHARE variables? Something passed from Samab to the client, or some thing the client does? QUESTION#2: How/what/where/why is there a difference in the results of click on "Command Prompt"? My Setup... I'm

Hi, Meanwhile we've come many steps further, and a new issue has risen. In samba4 AD we have a user with: - homeDirectory \\server\username - homeDrive P: - scriptPath logon.bat When this user logs on, logon.bat is executed successfully, but homeDirectory is NOT mounted on P: and in the logs we see: canonicalize_connect_path failed for service username, path /\\server\username It seems

I had a well-working R 1.7, however, today the programme did not start, and I recieved an error message. I have uninstalled the R 1.7, and then installed R 1.9. Still it does not start, giving the error message "Fatal error: invalid HOMEDRIVE". How can I get it to work? Bjorn Okland [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I bump this only to say SOLVED and many thanks to Rowland. Lessons learned: 1. Indeed, my problems where related to not having a gidNumber for "Domain Users". After adding it I got real wbinfo --user-info on the domain member (file server). My test user could log in in his old home from the NT domain preserving the old UID and GID. 2. (question = why?) And login.bat was called at
