I am using atom and I'm trying to get autosave to work. It's in the packages, enabled, and has the check box enabled.
Here is some relevant info:
I'm running on windows 10
My code is not local it's ssh'd in from a vm
for what it's worth I tried to map ctrl-shft-s to save all and that wont work either. I'll post another question about hotkeys.
Thanks

I have a new archlinux installation and got rstudio-desktop-bin from AUR, as the project site says to. However, I get a blank screen (as below) when trying to open it. When using
sudo /usr/bin/rstudio-bin
It opens normally. I tried to reset rstudio from this tutorial
https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200534577-Resetting-RStudio-Desktop-s-State
and in this question, the problem was solved changing file permission. Both did not work for me.
What could I do?
Rstudio when opening normally:
I found a suggestion that an update to electron may have caused an issue in the RStudio community forums. By disabling sandboxing, they were able to start RStudio as a user and it worked for me:
/usr/bin/rstudio-bin --no-sandbox
To make more permanent until the problem is resolved you can add a line to your .bashrc (or equivalent in another shell):
export RSTUDIO_CHROMIUM_ARGUMENTS="--no-sandbox"
There is also a suggestion in there about building from a weekly source instead. But this was easier for me so I can't vouch for it.
Unfortunately, I made a change to the Jupyter Lab settings recently. Jupyter had never been able to access the remote R help server. Usually this was never an issue because most help files are displayed in Jupyter. The way help is called on a function or method is typing: ?question. The "question" being the name of an R function or method. Ex. ?plot
Infrequently one of the R packages will not list its help in Jupyter and instead try to open the remote R help server. This has never worked in the past. The tab for a remote server never opened. This has never really been an issue until recently. Recently I decided to "fix" this issue and spent a good deal of time looking up the solution. I made this "fix" and Jupyter began working properly to open the remote R help server. But the fix is a problem that is way too obnoxious.
Each time I type the question mark in Jupyter, Jupyter causes the browser to open a new tab for the remote R help server. It is impossible to type fast enough after typing typing the ?. Once the ? is typed, the typing is interupted while the browser opens a new R server help website. As soon as returning to the typing, another browser tab opens and interrupts the typing .
It is impossible to finish typing the name of a function after the ? without having multiple interruptions to the typing while multiple new windows are opened in the browser at the R help server website. By the time I've finished typing: ?ppp, there will the 5 interruptions and new browser tabs opened. If I typed slowly, there may be 10 - 12 interruptions and 10 new tabs opened at the R help server.
How to prevent Jupyter from trying to access the remote R help server every time the ? is typed when looking up a description of a function? How to get back to that happy place I had before I'd made whatever change that caused this nightmare to happen?
Solved my own question.
This issue had nothing to do with R. I assumed I had changed a configuration in R, but that was not the case. This was an issue I had caused when I had changed a setting in Jupyter lab.
I can say with certainty this issue was definitely caused when I changed the "Contextual Help" setting under the Commands tab in Jupyter. This setting is related to the Contextual Help selection found under the Help tab. And this setting was causing multiple R help server tabs to open in the browser after I typed: ?
Upon rediscovering this Jupyter setting today I recalling that I had been down this path before. I selected "Contextual Help". Jupyter auto restarted and the issue went away. I can gladly say that I can perform search again for the description of an R function: Ex ?plot ,and receive the description of this function within Jupyter the same as before. I no longer have the issue of the browser opening or multiple new tabs at the remote R help server after typing ?
With the risk of me misunderstanding something, I can't get my packages to sync. I went through the following scenario:
I install new packages on Machine 1 and upload the settings through the "Sync Backup" command in atom. I can see that the new packages are listed in the packages.json file in the gist.
On Machine
I restore the settings and can indeed see settings being restored, like keymaps. However I don't get my new packages. I have restarted and reloaded Atom without luck.
Are there any extra steps I need to take to get the new packages on Machine 2?
You can try atom-package-sync. It is a package that I created a couple weeks ago. It works a little bit like the synchronization of Google Chrome, you just login and it syncs your packages and settings automatically across all your Atom instances. It is based on package-sync but I find it easier to use.
When I access the RStudio (hosted on a server) shell (Tools > Shell...), I gain admin access by using sudo R, then typing my password, which I know is invisible for security reasons. However, every subsequent line of code I type is also invisible.
For example, say I want to download a package to make it available on the server. I use:
install.packages("spls", lib="/usr/lib/R/library")
The above text does not show up, but when I press Enter, it does execute and I'm asked for a mirror to use. The package then is correctly installed. Thus, the only problem is not being able to see the text. This happens for anything I type in the shell.
I'm not the host of the server, but I do know it uses Ubuntu, I believe the RStudio version is 0.99.473 and the R version is definitely 3.2.1. I'm running on a Mac with Yosemite and Safari. If more specific information would be helpful, I can contact the host.
Does anyone know what might be causing this issue and how to fix it?
I am trying to save a simple HTML file in GitHub's Atom text editor, but I get the following error:
Unable to save file 'C:\Users\Alexander\Desktop\Looking good website\products.html'
EBUSY: resource busy or locked, open 'C:\Users\Alexander\Desktop\Looking good website\products.html'
This seems to be a known issue when I check the atom git repo. See here.
Now somehow even though there are multiple issues opened with the same problem on the atom git repo I don't see a solution.
How do I solve this error?
I am not sure how to replicate this issue but initially the file was saving fine, but now suddenly I have this problem and I don't see any obvious solution.

Can somebody help please?
Re-creation of error ::
Error in Atom :
What i see in process explorer::
For some reason Atom doesn't want to save files, that you have currently open in your Windows Explorer. At least that was the issue on my workspace.
I was able to solve this issue by closing all applications using the file. I was viewing a webpage locally, so I killed the browser and windows explorer then Atom let me save the file.
Hate to necro an old thread but I just ran into this myself and believe I have found the problem; the Preview Pane in Windows Explorer.
Either deselect the file in Explorer after opening or turn off the preview pane altogether.
Get Process Explorer from LINK and use Ctrl+F to find the process keeping the file open (see MS support link)
Then tell me what you see, and I'll expand the answer :)
My anti-virus (Bitdefender) thought atom.exe was an unsafe application so it kicked on Ransomware protection.
Hope this helps somebody
I’ve been having the same issue, and I found what was causing it for me.
I had Windows Defender Ransomware Protection enabled on my computer, and I was trying to save to a protected folder. Even though I had whitelisted the atom app, and didn’t receive the usual warning from Windows, it was preventing me from writing to the location. Disabled Ransomware protection, and suddenly Atom can save there again.
Not sure if you’re in the same boat, but maybe give it a try if you have Ransomware Protection enabled. Or maybe some other anti-virus with the same feature?
