Bug Unity Editor doesn't start up

Every time I try to open a project, the Editor doesn't start up, it even doesn't show the bug report window. The one thing I could find about the problem is that if I try opening Unity by terminal, it shows "Aborted (core dumped)", and opening as root, only "Aborted".

My PC is using Arch Linux amd64 (updated)
Intel Drivers
unity-editor 1:5.5.0p1+20161220-1 (from AUR)
4GiB RAM

I found this post which is very similar, but nobody answer it.
https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/aborted-core-dumped-error.400295/

These are the logs of the editor:

I'm going to assume you installed all the dependencies required by unity.
I had this issue in two different situation: I was missing npm, and opengl wasn't set up properly.

You're probably in the first situation, when npm (node packet manager) is not installed. Try to install it (it's probably shipped with nodejs), and it should fix the issue.

If that doesn't solve it, make sure that you can run opengl applications. The easiest way to do it is to simply run glxgears. You should be able to see rotating gears. If you can't, there's something wrong with opengl.

I hope it helps!

 

Yep, I have ALL the dependencies required by Unity, including NPM. Also, I installed and run the glxgears and it works fluently, so opengl doesn't looks like a problem.

 

From the editor logs, it does look like the problem is that your system doesn't support opengl core profile 3.2.

 

Got the same issue. Kubuntu 16.04 with latest updates, Unity 5.6.0 b6, 4 GiB RAM, Nvidia GT 610M (forced enabled, proprietary drivers), Unity 5.6.0. b1 worked well.

It looks like npm is failing to install the required unity packages, possibly due to a permissions issue on the user directory:

Try either checking the /home/user/.local/share/unity3d folder permissions or just do a sudo chown -R <your user>.<your user> ~/.local and see if that helps. Maybe you tried to run Unity as root at some point and the folder was created with root permissions?

 

Hi, luciusclay, thanks for your reply. You was almost right. Installed beta 6 is about third of gigabyte larger than beta 1, so I suddenly ran out of free space on the / partition. I've redistributed disk space from home to root and that fixed the problem.

 

Okay, I see you're right, I checked it and, indeed, my OpenGL version is not 3.2 (it's 2.1).
Thank you very much!

 

For me unity 2018.4.36f1 shows splash screen and automatically closes itself...

But 2 weeks before I worked in unity on the same version it runs without any problems.. what can I do...

 

Just wanted to share my experience in case it helps anyone.

I am running Linux Mint (version: Uma which is based on Ubuntu 20.04) as a VM using VirtualBox.

I was seeing unity start to open and then a little after the splash screen and loading bars, crash without any popups.

If I disable 'Enable 3D Acceleration' this issue goes away. Unfortunately unchecking that box means it's gonna perform like S*** and be CPU bound if I understand correctly. But fortunately for me I'm only using the VM to try out linux, planning on installing it natively soon so hopefully this won't be an issue then.

Anyway, hope this helps someone
