Unity3D on Linux with Wine: Support thread

hey guys, I'm wondering if I could get some help getting this PoL script to work.

I'm running Debian 7 Testing, and I've run into an issue while installing Unity3D. The actual installation and script ran all the way through without any errors, but trying to launch Unity3D crashes immediately.

Here's the logfile:

[12/15/13 06:16:25] - Running wine-1.7.6 Unity.exe (Working directory : /home/user/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Unity3D/drive_c/Program Files/Unity/Editor)

If anyone could give me a hand, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

 

Change your Linux distro to openSuse 13.1, because there are many problem with other distros if you wish to run Unity3D. I'm testing it with Unity3D. Conclusions:
So far no problems with Unity3D on openSuse. I've just changed the Wine version to the newest. It's running better than on Windows now. Games aren't choppy; FPS is much better than on Windows was before. I'm amazed. I had many problems with using my old Windows assets. There was a chaos. I tried all ways, and I was unable to solve it. The solution for it is just starting all from scratch. When you build your project from the beginning on Linux (without importing Windows projects) you have no problems with assets. No errors now! I'd like to use my old assets that I had on Windows before, but so far it's impossible. Too much strange errors.
My advice:
Just start developing your game from the beginning on Linux. Your old assets from Windows cannot work well. AND USE OPENSUSE 13.1 WITH PLAYONLINUX RUNNING THE RECENT WINE AND THE SCRIPT. I know that other Linux distros sucks. No Debian, no Ubuntu, etc. Maybe later other distros will be good too,but now you will be successful only with openSuse 13.1.

 

eluong, some libraries are missing. It's simple. if you have a 64 bit architecture, you can have some problems with accessing to the 32 bit libraries. There are some problems with running Unity3D on Windows 64 bit, so with Linux you will have even more problems. Use openSuse 13.1, wine 1.7.8, and the script. if you use Wine 1.7.8, change the line:
POL_Wine_PrefixCreate "1.7.6"
to
POL_Wine_PrefixCreate "1.7.8"

In the script, you see:

export WINEARCH="win32"

so it's for 32 bit systems. To change it, you need some tricks, but I'm not sure you will be successful.

If I were you, I would download openSuse 13.1 32 bit and installed on your computer. There won't be problems with installing Unity3D.

Remember, even if you run Unity3D on Debian, the quality of the Editor won't be perfect. It because of graphics libraries and graphics drivers. To use 3D features on Linux, you should have the recent libraries and drivers. openSuse 13.2 uses OpenGL/ES 2.1 Mesa 9.2.3. I'm testing it, and so far I'm glad.

 

eluong - You are missing libldap - install the 32 bit version.
See this - http://www.playonlinux.com/en/topic-9883-LoL_on_Arch_64bit_Help_plz.html

 

Just to confirm; for anyone else who happens to stumble upon this page looking for how to install Unity3D on Debian, it works fine using this script.

In Debian 7, you must install the following 32-bit libraries via Multiarch:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get install libldap-2.4-2:i386
sudo apt-get install libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386
sudo apt-get update

Once everything completes, you should have a working Unity3D editor running on your Debian system. Runs very smooth and fully featured (except creating new projects). Confirmed working with the current version of Unity3D 4.3.1f1.

Cheers!

 

Great, eluong! libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 can be unstable. We wish to know if you will have any problems with Unity3D later.

 

Thanks for this, but what packages is it downloading to be exact?

 

Waneck six, you rock!
I had been struggling for what seemed like a decade, errors popping up left right and centre, frustration mounting, and then like a dream... I found this thread!

Unity works like a charm, the process was simple and straighforward, simply put: you are my hero!

So to all those Ubuntu users who are having a hard time installing Unity follow the instructions outlined above and hey presto! Unity you shall have.

Now to get down to some developing ^^,

**Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 64bit. Proof that it works.

 

Can't get it working on Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit. After running script Unity installer can't find free space on the drive. Wine configuration in the 'Drives' tab shows "Failed to connect to the mount manager, the drive configuration cannot be edited". Will try later with handy configuration of wine.

 

I manually created prefix "Unity3D" in playonlinux, checked that drives are mounted and than run script. Unity was installed, but I could not create new project, the error "Specified path is not valid (should be a name of non-existing or empty directory)" appeared. I found no way to create project from gui. I ran Unity from commandline with argument -createproject test and the project was created. Also I was able to open angry bots sample project, run it, compile to linux platform and run it without wine.
One bad thing: after Unity3d runs the scene it drops all my custom videocard settings (gamma, color balance etc) to default and I have to run nvidia-settings every time after hitting "play" button.

 

Do you have Nvidia? There are some problems with Nvidia drivers. Please read all posts in this thread from the beginning. I won't be writing the same again.

 

Guys, I can't find the angry bots project, I'm using OpenSuse 13.1, any ideas?

 

Tomza: Yes, I have nvidia card. I did not see anything in the thread related to my issue of resetting color correction when hit "play" button in Unity 3D.

alberto-lara: It's located in drive_c/users/Public/Documents/Unity Projects/4-0_AngryBots folder. drive_c should be located under ~/.Playonlinux/wineprefix/Unity3D

I've got another issue: can't debug project with monodevelop. When I set breakpoint in monodevelop, Unity 3D editor hangs but monodevelop doesn't show the breakpoint is hit. f5/f10 buttons in monodevelop don't help to unhang Unity 3D.

 

Also I made a fix in dotnet35 package installation script and sent it to Playonlinux developers. They updated scripts and dotnet35 now can be installed for higher versions of wine (previous script did not allow to do it). Installation of dotnet35 is necessary if you want to compile Unity 3D projects from monodevelop without every-time switching target platform of projects to .NET 4.

 

I have little repair of Script and unity 3d works better

Working Create Project 2d and 3d and all effect adding to project
Working MonoDevelop
and add to winebrowser (winebrowser.exe) in registry at end %1 write this because this a meany reg keys to change,
this a repair to open web links in unity

assent store not working because winebrowser not working correct maybe any ideas to repair bug ?

maybe next pals on this forum helping a repair next bugs

i use this script and works

i test on fedora 20 and ubuntu 1

@Damian-LinuxFan, I tried your script out on opneSuse 13.1. I can't create Unity projects like before. Maybe, the reason is that I couldn't install


POL_Call POL_Install_ie6

that is Internet explorer 6 on PlayOnLinux. The same like before, I was forced to use the trick to use Unity3D, pointing to an empty directory.

I'll try tomorrow.

Thanks for your script. We can make it better in the future.

My error:


Error in POL_Download_Resource
POL_Download - error during download! (2 attempt)

I tried to install IE6 from inside PlayOnLinux - the same problem.

And I got the error in the log file of PLayOnLinux:

[01/24/14 16:15:46] - Running wine-1.7.11 Unity.exe (Working directory : /home/poganin/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Unity3D/drive_c/Program Files/Unity/Editor)
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v4.0.30319\\mscorsvw.exe"

It's clear, but I need find a way to solve it.

I can install IE8, but not IE6. Do you think we should replace

POL_Call POL_Install_ie6

with

POL_Call POL_Install_ie8

?

Do we need IE in Unity3D? I'll try do that.

 

It works!

Yes, I tried to install Unity3D again, and it really works. Yes, I was right - I couldn't install IE6, so I was unable to create Unity projects. It was like before - pointing to an empty directory. Now, however, I can create Unity project with no problems. It's great. What did I do?

I edited the script Damian-LinuxFan posted in this way:


Instead of


POL_Call POL_Install_ie6

I wrote:

POL_Call POL_Install_ie8

It works great so far.

Thanks Cauê for the script and Damian-LinuxFan for improving it. All Linux fans will be improving it further. I hope soon Unity3D on Linux will be so good as if it worked on Windows.


Tested on openSuse 13.1.

 

I look, but on my pc works great, not work only asset store.
I Tested on Fedora 20 and Ubuntu 13.10 maybe i look on OpenSUSE (old good times )
I'am Working to modificate Wine for Unity 3d only i finish send links on this forum for share to all unity users

 

I can create unity projects, but cant run MonoDevelop (built-in), as Dominik-LinuxFan said. I got the error:

error parsing parser C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\config\machine.config

Parser returned error 0x8004001

I'll try install it from outside Unity3D.

 

maybe GG number for priv conversation ??

 

Damian-LinuxFan, I have GG, but I have never used it. I think it's inactive now.
Please use:

pogtoma@gmail.com

 

maybe you use skype my nick live:dkpl

 

yes, i use

tomasz.zackiewicz1

 

I installed Notepad++ in Unity3D again. It works without problems. So if you can't run MonoDevelop like me, try Notepad++ for editing your scripts in Unity3D. Here's my tutorial:

http://tomaszzackiewicz.wordpress.com/2013/12/01/how-to-setup-notepad-for-unity/

Or maybe other editor. Damian-LinuxFan promised me to make Monodevelop run in Unity3D with no problems. He's working over Wine for better cooperation with Unity3D. I'll try to run MonoDevelop in Unity3D too.

 

I tried to install the recent MonoDevelop for Unity3D from outside Unity3D (in the same way as with Notepad++). The MonoDevelop installer (XamarinStudio-4.2.2-2.msi) started but didn't continue because it required at least GTK# 2.12.22. I installed all the packets in my operating system, however the installer still doesn't see them.

When I start MonoDevelop built in Unity3D, I still see the previous error. I tried to start MonoDevelop directly, clicking the start icon, and I still see the error. In other words, MonoDevelop built in Unity3D doesn't work on openSuse 13.1.

 

I installed SharpDevelop instead of MonoDevelop. There's a similar error as during running MonoDevelop with Unity3D. However, the program starts with the opened file. I can edit the file. But I probably will be using Notepad++ for scripts in Unity3D.

the error with running MonoDevelop in Unity3D:



You can also use UnityDevelop for writing scripts in Unity Script (JavaScript). It's a rich IDE. When you open a file in UnityDevelop, there's an error in the beginning, but when you click OK, the IDE runs with your file opened.

And the file opened in the IDE

You see that UnityDevelop for Unity Script is just like SharpDevelop for C#.

 

I've just installed Mesa 10.0.2 on openSuse (there was Mesa 9.2.3 before). My system looks wonderful, but Unity3D with PlayOnLinux and Wine crashed . I have an Intel graphics card. So be careful with Mesa. Not all graphics cards support all features the new Mesa. Now, Nvidia seems the worst of all. In spite of these troubles, I won't come back to mesa 9.2.3; I won't simply be using Unity3D. Blender seems work very well (like other software in my system), so the problem is in PlayOnLinux or in Wine, I think.

My error was:

libGL error: unable to load driver: i965_dri.so

In other words, my DRI driver didn't work.

I solved the problem; Unity3D runs using Mesa 10.0.2 with no problems. If you ever have such errors, just go to the link:

http://tomaszzackiewicz.wordpress.c...-driver-i965_dri-so-a-3d-graphics-mesa-error/

 

What version of Unity3d are you using ? becouse I can't passed the License popup at start up

 

Unity3D 4.3.0f4. The License can't be passed? It's strange. A Free License or Pro? I have never had problems with that, using both the first version of script and the second one. What distro do you use? This solution can work with distros in a different way. I use openSuse 13.1. I'm sure Unity3D works on this distro well. If you use other distro, I have no idea. People say that it works with other distros, too. Read the thread.

I think the License problem isn't connected with our PlayOnLinux and Wine work, it's something different - activation server. Read these:

http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Manual/ManualActivationGuide.html

http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/431262/license-server-problem.html

http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/18469/unity-set-up-something-about-needing-a-license-fre.html

I hope it helps. If not, please write more.

 

Sorry to be a little late to the party.
Maybe you know,but there is a prototype of the Editor for Linux,but this prototype is not available for download.Finally,Unity Tech sees no reason to make this Editor version as commercial product.

 

No worries. We will do all to make Editor for Windows run on Linux. We are improving our solution, and soon you will see effects. Even now, Unity3D is good enough for game developing. I'm testing Unity3D all the time. By the way, I don't understand Unity3D Team. A good software should be accessible for all main platforms. Other companies make their programs for Windows, Mac, and Linux. For example, Netbeans IDE. They don't say that there are too few Linux users. They know that there are such users, and they have respect to them. That's all.

 

Sorry for off-top,but it sounds like:

 

Hahaha! No, we should simply create some solution for Linux users. Unity3D Team underestimate Linux users' power .

 

Well, in any way I wish you all good luck

 

Thanks! We love Unity3D and wish to use the software. I use Unity3D on openSuse 13.1. It works great! Some things should be improved, but it really works.

 

I'm using Linux of 10 years and programing only, this is a next test for my knowledge, and achieve my target.
But my progress in wine for Unity3d is still deputies further.
I mod winebrowser and a couple regs for unity to use asset store works but not completly and crashing i think solve this problem,
next problem to solve is a MonoDevelop maybe a couple tricks to works good and complie without errors

See you soon guys if i'am finish share with us the results of my work

Edited : I use Unity3d 4.3.3f1

 

As to Asset Store, I tried to add the unity3d.kharma protocol to Firefox (about:config) so that the web browser accept it and we can download assets, but so far I have achieved nothing. Maybe there are some Firefox specialists that know how to do that correctly.

The items in Firefox:

network.protocol-handler.external.com.unity3d.kharma;false

network.protocol-handler.app.com.unity3d.kharma;/home/poganin/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Unity3D/drive_c/Program Files/Unity/Editor

There are two ways as to importing Unity Assets: from inside Unity Editor and from outside Unity Editor. Damian-LinuxFan wishes to do that from inside, and me -- from outside.

 

To make Unity3D Web Player run on Linux browsers, use Pipelight Project. I wrote an article on it. Alas, I couldn't run Unity3D Web Player, but some were able to do it.

http://tomaszzackiewicz.wordpress.com/2014/01/30/unity3d-and-pipelight-project/

As to Unity3D on Linux, I'm testing it. I noticed that Physics powered by PhysX from NVIDIA is really weak. You have to use really BIG numbers to see the results. For example, I use Gravity -2500 for Y in the Gravity Manager . It's because the environment Unity3D works is emulated.

Good news! FDS-Team from Pipelight Project helped me to run Unity3D Web Player in my browser under Linux. Now it works.

Now you can use Unity3D Web Player under Linux!

 

Amazing, good one. I know it is really useful, Linux is kind of software with doesn't use such many RAM and processor like Windows, really helpful.

 

Hey I managed to install unity3d on Fedora 20 using POL and the script from this thread. I run it and am able to create a new project, but when it loads i get this picture, can someone please give me some advice how to handle this?

http://i59.tinypic.com/2lka33n.png

 

OMG! What is it?!!!!!!!! I have never used Fedora with Unity3D, but you should remember that your distro is unstable. It's hard to guess what's happening because I have never seen something like that. There can be many reasons. I need more details. But if you don't want any troubles, just use openSuse 13.1 with Mesa 10.0.3 and with Notepad++ for creating and editing scripts. This is my proposition. I'm testing it. People who use this configuration have no troubles. It's really stable - you can make games as if you worked under Windows. So far, we can't run Asset Store, but some day we will do that. Web Player is working for Linux, too.

 

This is the result of `lspci -v | grep VGA`

And this is the result of `glxinfo | grep OpenGL`

If that is any help to troubleshooting he problem

 

Oh, yes, now I see. You have NVIDIA. Well, the best is Intel. I have Intel.

There's a silent war between NVIDIA and Linux. Mesa is like Directx under Windows. Mesa is an open-source implementation of the OpenGL specification - a system for rendering interactive 3D graphics. New Mesa is fully supported by Intel, but with NVIDIA can be some problems. You need the recent drivers for your graphics card. Only such drivers and the newest 3D libraries can make Unity3D working well as if under Windows.

Sorry, I meant Mesa 10.0.2. Mesa 10.0.3 isn't available for openSuse yet; we have to wait some days to get it. I use the X11:XOrg repository.

You should know that it's important not only a distro you are using but also the company that made your graphics card. NVIDIA seems the worst choice for Linux nowadays. I hope NVIDIA and Linux will be living in peace some day.

 

Look at my results:

lspci -v | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 0c) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

glxinfo | grep OpenGL
OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 965GM x86/MMX/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 10.0.2
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
OpenGL extensions:

 

Is mesa compatible with Nvidia, or do i have to get nvidia drivers?

 

read about drivers on the Mesa website. Your graphics card seems supported.

NVIDIA GPUs.

But I don't see Mesa in your results. Try to use openSuse. There's Mesa, but too old to render 3D graphics well, so I installed Mesa 10.0.2 and changed the software provider for 3D libraries. On Intel, it works perfect. I have no idea what with NVIDIA.


I have no idea if Fedora supports Mesa libraries.

 

I'll play around with it and post results, thanks for the help.

 

You're welcome. Just do everything what is in my tutorials. If you need advice, feel free to write. Good luck!

 

Hey Everyone !

Been trying to use Unity3D in Linux using Wine, but just about gave up on it, due to much instability and just not being usable at all ( annoying problems with the save, speed, etc).

So, I've got no dual boot, I just use Linux for my day to day, and will not mess about with my hd just to accommodate a OS that I would only use for this. I went with VMware and got it to work beautifully. In case anyone wants to know how :

- Install proper video drivers on Linux, with 3d acceleration etc
- Install VMWare player for Linux
- Install Windows 7 in VMware.
- Install VMWare Tools on Windows 7
- Shutdown Windows 7 OS instance.

Now, go to the folder where the VMX files are and edit the VMX file to add or modify the following lines like so :

mks.enable3d = "TRUE"
mks.gl.allowBlacklistedDrivers = "TRUE"

Save VMX file.

- Start Windows 7 Instance
- Install Unity
- Use Unity

 

Thanks for info. Unity3D runs on Linux very stable. I can make games as under Windows. The problem is to choose a suitable Linux distro and have recent drivers and libraries (Mesa). It's good to have an Intel graphics card, too. I will never be using Windows for Unity3D.
