FYI, I'm not sure if it's caused by Intel vs AMD issue. However, if that is indeed the issue, the problem maybe Intel optimizations solus did as I loaded up 2 VMs (ubuntu and void linux) - fresh installs. Both passed the R tools::testInstalledPackages(scope="base") and a simply lm() simulation with no problems.

I'm wondering if it's an intel vs amd issue above. Does anyone that run AMD have this problem with R or is it intel only?

Here is the output from inxi -Fz on the VM *after* running the rm... glibc command. R gave bad results before and after the command.

@joebonrichie @adurante I loaded a VM with solus-budge image from the website. Updated "required packages", installed R & dependencies, confirmed lm() gives incorrect results, ran @joebonrichie 's commands from above on glibc, ran lm() again --> still incorrect results.

@adurante I'm trying to get R to run correctly on my VM but it still won't work. Can you give me pointers?

Yes, the ?? command is not working within rstudio with R 3.6.1. However, the ?? command also gives different output between 3.5.1 and 3.6.1 - ??polr as an example. 3.5.1 finds all the results while 3.6.1 only find the results from MASS package for some reason. So I think it's may be from rstudio and R-3.6.1 potentially.

I can't tell as I upgraded from my old macBook and is on a Dell now.

ok, it works fine. When I'm in my venv, it fails. Thanks.
