Help needed: unable to install any package in Rstudio and conda

Recently, I had a series of problems with my computer. At first, I couldn’t install any R package in Rstudio, but when solving this problem, more and more new problems occurred. I don’t know what kind of internal connection they have inside, but I’ll try to describe the phenomena I encountered in the post.

  1. I cannot install any R package in Rstudio, which operated properly once.

install.packages(“shiny”)
Warning in install.packages :
unable to access index for repository http://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib:
cannot open URL ‘http://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/PACKAGES

I’ve already tried unchecking ‘use secure download method for HTTP’ as well as several other methods, but none of them has worked.

  1. Some problems occurred when I code ‘conda install’.

  1. Some problems occurred when I configure python’s anaconda environment on vscode.

Extension activation failed, run the ‘Developer: Toggle Developer Tools’ command for more information.

  1. I cannot join zoom meeting now, but I was able to use zoom just fine before.

I’m really new to conda, so I might run some terrible code before. In my memory, I downloaded miniconda, but there was a problem when I downloaded conda (maybe anaconda?) earlier, which I didn’t care about at that time.

Because of those problems, I’m really confused and upset these days. I’m willing to provide any necessary information, and plese help me.

Thanks in advance!!

All of those sound like there is some kind of internet access problem. Especially the fact that you can’t use Zoom suggests the problem is unrelated to conda.

Hi! I guess maybe the causes of these problems are not consistent, but is there anything I can do to try to solve such problems?
