Text invisible in the RStudio shell on the server

When I access the RStudio shell (hosted on the server) (Tools> Shell ...), I gain administrator access using sudo R , and then enter a password that I know is invisible for security reasons. However, each subsequent line of code I am also invisible.

For example, let's say I want to download a package to make it available on the server. I use:

 install.packages("spls", lib="/usr/lib/R/library") 

The above text is not displayed, but when I press Enter, it is executed and I am asked to use a mirror. Then the package is installed correctly. Thus, the only problem is not to see the text. This happens for everything that I type in the shell.

I am not the host of the server, but I know that it uses Ubuntu, I believe that the version of RStudio is 0.99.473, and the version of R is 3.2.1. I work on Mac with Yosemite and Safari. If more specific information is useful, I can contact the host.

Does anyone know what might cause this problem and how to fix it?
