Dear R community
I'm running R on Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.4.0-121-generic
x86_64). The standard install was R version 3.6.3 which I kept and where
all my graphics tasks work fine. Now, since I needed some packages which
don't work with this version of R, I installed R version 4.2.0 into /opt
from source using checkinstall. With this version of R graphics using
the normal "plot" command still get displayed, although with a different
font as in R 3.6.3 (more coarse and monotype-ish, I'd say). When I want
to save the plot using grDevices::savePlot however I get the folloing error:
Error in grDevices::savePlot("tmp.png") :
? can only copy from 'X11(type="*cairo")' devices
As I said, both versions of R are installed on the same machine, thus
the necessary libraries should be available, I think. Can someone point
me to the background of the problem?
Thanks a lot!
