I am new to Unity. I normally work with Linux environment and Android Studio and I thought using Unity in Linux would be straightforward…
I have installed it in /usr/local/Unity-2017.3.0f1 using the GUI . Right after the launching Unity i get the following message:
Moving file failed
Moving /home/ricard/.config/unity3d/Editor.log to /home/ricard/.config/unity3d/Editor-prev.log:
With options cancel, try again, force quit. If I press cancel (several times) the message eventually dissapears and lets me go through the process of logging in but after that it crashes.
[1230/195303:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(161)] Running without the SUID sandbox! See chromium - An open-source project to help move the web forward. - Monorail for more information on developing with the sandbox on.
[1230/195303:ERROR:renderer_main.cc(227)] Running without renderer sandbox
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Also tutorial and documentation do not appear. Has any one experienced something like that?
Also, what is the correct way to remove Unity from Linux?
The warning about running without a sandbox is not related to the error message. I get this warning as well and everything’s fine.
But the error that the log file cannot be moved (on start the editor saves an existing log file to *-prev.log) is most probably a permission problem. Maybe you have started the editor once with root permissions and afterwards with a normal user?
Check the mentioned path and see whether there is still a Editor-prev.log without suitable permissions and whether the unity3d directory mentioned in this path is writable by your user.
I had the same ‘moving files’ error - solved it by going to the Unity install directory and sudo chown -R everything to my user. Some files and directories had root as owner.
Also: same here for documents and tutorials, they just don’t start. Haven’t found a solution to that yet.
Would also be interested in the correct way to deinstall Unity. Installed it with the new Graphical installer; cannot find any unity package in package manager.
Solved my problem by updating my video card drivers to the latest version - thought I had done that already, but I hadn’t. Now the tutorials open as expected.
