Checar Version De Ubuntu
Shanae Maerz
This is unbelievable.
I searched a lot but could not find this out.
The closest I got to the answer was people saying go to HELP and then ABOUT RSTUDIO and check the version.
My gosh-dern'it problem is, where is the ABOUT RSTUDIO option?
See my screenshot of the help menu,

I'm not having the same error on RStudio Server Pro (RSP), but perhaps it's something that's somehow happening in the OS build and not the Pro build for some reason, and knowing can help us narrow it down.

One other thing that might help find the version - you can try running the command rstudio-server version on the command line, or even from the Terminal/Shell in RStudio and that should output the installed version information as well.
As you would have guessed, just knowing the version isn't my real problem. Why I want to know the version is to check if my upgrade went through or not. And, why I want to upgrade, is because I am getting a plethora or errors on rstudio on the ubuntu server (to be clear it is non-pro rstudio) like a lot of packages not getting installed, the help not working, startup errors like these
You might also want to make sure you're installing the server version and not the desktop version, especially if the rstudio-server commands aren't working. The instructions you linked from StackOverflow are for the desktop version - if you want RStudio Server, you'll want to make sure you're installing the latest server version following the directions here: -server/
Now coming to your advice to upgrade rstudio server @EconomiCurtis, the below link you sent is for a fresh instal. Is there a separate link for upgrading. I am afraid I did do a fresh instal but cant see the upgraded version and also none of the bugs go away. So definitely, the fresh instal is lying in some directory on the Ubuntu server and the rstudio that I get at x.x.x.x:8787 is the old one.
