This is not an Ubuntu tech support list. It is possible to install the X11 client support even on headless servers, which is one of the things R on the server needs to send graphics commands to your computer. However, if your sysadmin won't do it then it is not going to happen, and we are most definitely not here to tell him how to do his job since this is a list for questions about R.
Well ***somebody*** ought to tell the dork how to do his job, since he clearly isn't doing it. The job of a system administrator should be to help users to accomplish the tasks that they need to do, not to hinder, impede and stone-wall them.
The tell-tale word here is "administrator" --- those of that breed seem to get their kicks from frustrating those who do the actual work.
