Warning: unable to load shared object 'R_X11.so': libXt.so.6: cannot open shared object file

[vebaev]

I got constant warning:

Warning message: In grSoftVersion() : unable to load shared object '/usr/local/lib/R/modules//R_X11.so': libXt.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I also wanted to fix maybe the issue with solution I found somewhare - apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends libxt6, but I couldnt find the sudo password to do this in the terminal in Rstudio?

What is the image you are using? (if you can provide the repo digest it will help us to reproduce the issue)

$ docker inspect rocker/r-ver | jq '.[].RepoDigests[]'
"rocker/r-ver@sha256:9305f45341433daac40ccdc6185b5ccbeab0184abcd82868dc2bda6c958a7b60"

By the way, in my experience, you can ignore that warning.
