Hey guys, since I’ve downloaded the unity Version 2022.2.0f1, I’m experiencing this error, when I’m about to download files from the Plastic SCM Project Cloud/Repository, it brings up the z assembly type:member:(null). I’m using Ubuntu (need to use this OS in order to have performance test on Unity Jobs and other DOTS techs) the version of my Version Controller is the latest (1.17.7)
Hi,
I’m afraid the Plastic SCM plugin for Unity is not supported in Linux.
You will need to install the Plastic SCM standalone client:
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Carlos.
I was just using Plastic SCM on Ubuntu in unity previous versios (2021.3.11f1) and it was working pretty fine on Ubuntu, it started since I upgraded to 2022.2.0f1.
I’m also having problems plastic reinstaling from these links Its saying:
"
E: Unable to locate package plasticscm-client
E: Unable to locate package plasticscm-server
"
What is your Linux distro and what are the steps you are following?
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https
echo “deb https://www.plasticscm.com/plasticrepo/stable/debian/ ./” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plasticscm-stable.list
wget https://www.plasticscm.com/plasticrepo/stable/debian/Release.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
Regards,
Carlos.
I’m honestly just glad there’s at least a PlasticSCM GUI for it. I tried it for the first time and it seems to have worked perfectly.
I already submitted an email about this, but those install instructions do not work. They deprecated apt-key so the release key isn’t saved and thus the repository cannot be validated.
You can get it to work with modern Ubuntu by doing the following:
- Change the gpg key download step to the following:
wget https://www.plasticscm.com/plasticrepo/stable/ubuntu/Release.key -O - | gpg --dearmor - | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/plasticscm-archive-keyring.gpg
- Update the plasticscm-stable.list apt sources list to reference the key:
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/plasticscm-archive-keyring.gpg] https://www.plasticscm.com/plasticrepo/stable/ubuntu/ ./
That will get the repo to properly work with Ubuntu 25.04, but plastic scm is missing dependencies for libicu. If using a LTS version of Ubuntu I don’t think you’ll have an issue as the maintainers only support LTS builds, but you can manually find and download the necessary versions using pkgs.org
This was everything I needed to go through just to get it to work on Ubuntu 25.04.

Hi,
The libicu dependency is about to be fixed in order to support ubuntu25’s bundled libicu.
And the install instructions in the Plastic SCM - Linux Packages for ubuntu will be updated too, so the apt-key deprecation is addressed.
Thanks for the report and apologies for the inconvenience!
