similar to: Suggestion: Re: Fatal error .RData

We are using R in our class. One student claims to be receiving the message "Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData" The student is working in a Windows environment with Vista using the precompiled binary distribution (R-2.7.2). After searching the R site and reading FAQs, I suggested the student find .RData in the working directory and delete it. The student claims this

Dear R users, My situation: (1) I have limited workspace for my work harddisk (about 10 GiB). (2) I have a lot of data files in R workspace (*.RData) which most of them > 200 MiB. For some reason I zip some of them, for instance "filename.RData (250 MiB)" to "filename.zip (3MiB)". In this work I have a lot of more space of my harddisk. Normally, If I want to use

Hi all, After a short hiatus away from R I have found that it's changed a bit. I used to keep a definition of .First in .Rprofile that did a couple of things on startup (load a couple of libraries). Now, I've discovered that when I change the definition of .First in .Rprofile it doesn't change anything when I start up, because .First is held over in .Rdata from the last session.

Hello, I am unable to start an R session by double-clicking on an existing .RData file from the Windoze file explorer. A dialogue appears with the message "Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData", and I notice in the R Console the last few lines are: "Loading required package: R2HTML NULL error in function () : unused argument(s) (1:43)" I tried starting

Thanks for the comments, feedback, and improvements. I still argue that the current behavior cause more harm than it helps. First of all, it increases the risk for code that does not work on all platforms, which I'd say is one of the strengths and design goals of R. To write cross-platform code, a developer basically needs to specify argument 'mode'. A second problem is that people

This might have been discussed before, but below is a "not-so-unlikely" use case where the user follows normal procedures, updates R to a major release version, and then R crashes: 1. Use runs R stable (e.g. v2.13.0). 2. User installs a package with a namespace, e.g. install.packages("fortunes"). 3. User uses the package and one of the package's objects are assigned to the

As Jeff says, it might be that you have a ~/.Rprofile file with instructions to load packages when R starts. It could also be that you have a .RData file, which is saved if you answer yes to: > Save workspace image? [y/n/c]: y when you quit R. If this file exists, then R loads it and all the objects you had when you saved it. If there are objects associated with packages, then that will

Hi, this relates to the question "How to set a former environment?" asked yesterday. What is the best way to to return a function with a minimal environment from a function? Here is a dummy example: foo <- function(huge) { scale <- mean(huge) function(x) { scale * x } } fcn <- foo(1:10e5) The problem with this approach is that the environment of 'fcn' does not

Dear Sir/Madam: I'm currently running R 1.9.1 on a Mac OS 10.3. I have been able to use it fine for a while now. But for some reason, it now crashes each time I open it with the error: Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .Rdata I read on the online help forum that I can just delete the bad .Rdata file. But I cannot find it. I even tried to delete everything related to R and

Can you be more specific about what conditions cause R to automatically load a package when a .RData file is loaded? My experience has actually been the opposite.

Hi list, Is there a way to load one specific object from a .RData file which contains multiple data objects?? Thanks, ...Tao

Dear R help team, I am trying to open R to continue my analysis but it doesn't want to open and I get this message "fatal error unable to restore saved data in .rdata". I don't know what went wrong ( iam using Windows). Could you please help me on this? Thanks a lot Best Regards Saad [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I am using Windows XP and R 2.3.1. During my lastest session I updated my packages and now when I try to start R 2.3.1 I get the following error message: Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData in an error window and Error in loadNamespace(name): there is no package called 'nlme' in the R console. I had been using nlme and lme4 when I updated my packages. I did a search on

Hi. I have a procedure that reads a directory, loops through a set of particular .RData files, loading each one, and feeding its object(s) into a function, as follows: cvListFiles<-list.files(fnDir); for(i in grep(paste("^",pfnStub,".*\\.RData$",sep=""),cvListFiles)){ load(paste(fnDir,cvListFiles[i],sep="/")); myFunction(rliObject); rm(rliObject); };

Hi, it looks like save() is saving all contents of the calling environments if the object to be saved is *not* evaluated, although it is not that simple either. After many hours of troubleshooting, I'm still confused. Here is a reproducible example (also attached) with output. I let the code and the output talk for itself: peek <- function(file, from=1, to=500) {

Also, as mentioned in my https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2012-August/064739.html, when not specifying the mode argument, the default on Windows is mode = "w" *except* for certain, case-sensitive, filename extensions: if(missing(mode) && length(grep("\\.(gz|bz2|xz|tgz|zip|rda|RData)$", url))) mode <- "wb" Just like the need for mode =

Hi, I've spotted a possible memory leakage/violation in the latest R v2.1.1 patched and R v2.2.0dev on Windows XP Pro SP2 Eng. I first caught it deep down in a nested svd algorithm when subtracting a double 'c' from a integer vector 'a' where both had finite values but when assigning 'a <- a - c' would report NaNs whereas (a-c) alone would not. Different runs

Dear list, I just recently installed R-2.13.0 on my Windows7. I used to run R-2.10.0. First of all, I used to be able to install R in English (in R-2.10.0) during the installation procedure. My PC is in a Japanese environment but I want R to be in English because I won't be able to interpret any errors if they are in Japanese (I am Japanese so I can read them but I won't be able to

Saving Rdata files in a zip archive form can in some cases save a considerable amount of disk space. R has the zip.file.extract function to extract files from zip archives, but appears not to have any corresponding function to save in zipped form. (At least I have not been able to find anything in the help files or through searching the mail archives.) The system function can be used to call gzip

I've just had an interesting thing happen to one of our students. He's using R 1.9.1 on Linux, and so I dont expect bugfixes, I'm just reporting this out of interest in case anyone else has had this happen. Starting R caused a seg fault shortly after "[Previously saved workspace restored]". Running "R --no-restore-data" worked fine so I suspected a corrupted
