Using viridis with ggplot2 3.0 crashes Rstudio

[SteveBronder]

Since the most recent update the following code causes my Rstudio session to crash.

library(ggplot2)
library(viridis)
test_df = data.frame(xx = runif(100), groups = sample(LETTERS[1:3], 100, replace = TRUE))
ggplot(test_df, aes(y = xx, x = groups, fill = groups)) +
 geom_point() +
 scale_fill_viridis(option = "C")

@SteveBronder I'm not sure what you're trying to do here, but geom_scale_fill_viridis is not a function of the viridis package. Maybe you wanted to call scale_fill_viridis instead? (though it won't do anything since you don't have a fill aesthetics)

[SteveBronder]

Whoops! Apologies that was a typo, dunno why that was there. I edited the code above and it still crashes Rstudio (V1.1.453)

My code above is just a mre. Adding fill to aes() also causes it to crash

[sjmgarnier]

@SteveBronder Can you post the corrected code please?

[SteveBronder]

Below is the corrected code.

library(ggplot2)
library(viridis)
test_df = data.frame(xx = runif(100), groups = sample(LETTERS[1:3], 100, replace = TRUE))
ggplot(test_df, aes(y = xx, x = groups, fill = groups)) +
 geom_point() +
 scale_fill_viridis(option = "C")

Though running this in terminal actually gives more info, this appears to be an issue with the intel MKL Intel MKL FATAL ERROR: Cannot load libmkl_core.so.

I'm pretty sure this is a 'me' issue and not a viridis issue. Feel free to close

[sjmgarnier]

@SteveBronder Ok. I can't reproduce it here with the version of Ubuntu, R, etc. I doubt this is caused by viridis, it doesn't have much funky code in it.

Hi, I want to share my experience. I had the same problem with R running in a docker (rocker/shiny) on Ubuntu 22.04 but on a Proxmox VM using kvm64 as CPU. Changing the CPU type solved the problem
