I’m getting the same error but with different values!

[Error] Unrecognized thread niceness after calling setpriority. Target niceness is 0 and actual niceness is 6

It happens every time I switch focus from something back to Unity.

Hey guys. I am on Pop_OS 22.04 LTS / Unity 2022.3.10f1 and I encountered this issue.

The root cause is the Visual Scripting package it seems. The good news is that I solved it for myself by simply removing the package entirely, since I am just testing things out.

The bad news is that’s likely not a solve for those who are using it.

Hey, Im too on Pop_Os 22.04 LTS/ 2021.3.16f1. Same problem. Nothing that would be restrictive. But it’s annoying…

My project is without Visual Scripting package. So issue will be somewhere else. But i have no idea. It started show around 2Q of 2023.

Error shows after im exit VSCodium and Unity Editor load all edits.

It’s very infuriating to get no response from the Unity team …
Can’t you PLEASE answer?

We’ve been waiting for a reaction since June! :rage:

I found the solution for this thread:

Disclaimer: I’m a Linux noob, and don’t know what those lines do. It worked for me but I don’t take any responsibility in case it breaks your system or something :smile:

Scratch that… Didn’t work for me :frowning:

Original post:
Same here. Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS, Unity 2022.3.1f1

The error pops up each time I focus on Unity. It doesn’t seem to break anything, though.
