When I run this code (below)
iTrack <- IdeogramTrack(genome = "hg19", chromosome = "chr2", name = "")
then I get the error
Error: failed to load external entity "http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQreleases"
Did someone else encounter this error as well?
Thanks a lot.

Have you tried again; maybe it was a temporary issue? Do you have a strong internet connection when running? I just tried with R4.3 and the latest version of Gviz 1.47.0 and it seemed to work without any ERROR
I don't have a version of R 4.0 to test readily but if it is possible to update the versions of R and Gviz/tracklayer that would be good to do.
