Hello! I’ve been using the linux editor for some time and had no problems. I’m very satisfied with the linux editor experience. But yesterday, after updating some linux packages the editor is not opening anymore.
How the crash is happening:
If I open Unity Hub from the command line no error is shown too.
I’m using:
I’m not sure what package update created the problem but here is the linux package update log:
gdk-pixbuf2;2.38.0-6.fc29;x86_64
The unity editor log is attached.
Thanks in advance.

Hi @abrahamgamedev
@senkal It was very strange. Today I opened another project and it opened normally. Then I closed it and tried to open the original project and unity editor crashed. Then I created a new project (2D) to test and the unity editor crashed. Again I created a new project (3D) and it crashed too. After that, I tried to open the project that was opened normally earlier and the editor crashed again. I remembered that I installed a package from Unity Package Manager before the first crash that I described in the first post. I attached the new Unity log.

@senkal The unity package that I imported was PostProcessing.

Have you had a crash before where the bug reporter opened? Could you submit a bug with your editor logs attached?
I was having the same issue. Two days ago using Unity Hub 1.5 without issues. Yesterday I went to open a project, the Unity splash screen hits, i see two progress bars load quick, then it disappears without any errors. Same thing happened today, couldn’t open any project. I then went to the Unity install location and launched the editor (not from Unity Hub) and it prompted me to login with my credentials. I then selected a project, it loaded and I am currently using the editor as I type this.

Looks like it can be an issue.
Sorry I should have been more clear about my post. Mine was not tied to the Post Processing package or anything like that. Unity just started to crash when I tried to launch it from Unity Hub.
@PixelJ Unfortunately, the bug reporter was not shown after the crash. Can I submit the bug by another way?@Megalocerous your solution worked for me. I opened the editor directly from the folder and it loads nice. Did you upgrade some linux packages before the crash too?

I just got back from not using Unity for a few months and I am also not able to open any project (or even create a new one). Hub launches, I can install many versions of Unity, I can create a new project, but when I try to open it, I see the Unity logo and some quick progress bars and then it closes. Launching from the terminal shows me “Aborted (core dumped)” and nothing else. I’m on Ubuntu 18.04 and installed a bunch of dependency packages I found listed throughout this forum but nothing seems to change anything.
@zeelot Did you tried this? It is working for me, while the Unity Hub is not working.
I was just trying to launch Unty for the first time to try it out, and have seen the same behavior. I am running fedora, tried installing the latest ‘Official Release’, 2018.3.6f1. If I launch the editor directly as described above, it seems to launch fine. My guess is that the hub is not finding the correct location of the editor for some reason, though it could be somewhere else. Mine seems to be located in ~/Unity. There may have been an option to install it elsewhere, but I don’t recall if that was the case. Usable workaround in the meantime, thanks @Megalocerous .

Launching the specific version of Unity directly does not work for me. I’ve filed a bug report and am following their instructions there as well. Hopefully someone can track down the issue.
Happened to me too, also working on Fedora.

I’m having the same issue on my laptop, with arch linux. I’ve installed every driver I could think of for this, and it works on my desktop that also runs arch fine. Is it possible it has something to do with the GPU? That’s the biggest difference I can think of in my case.
Same issue in Pop! Os. Opening project from Unity hub crashes the whole thing, and I get bug reporter every time. And when I try to open the editor from the install location, it says unknown file type.
Same issue here. Keeps crashing, and when I try to do anything it crashes. Pop!_OS i7-3770 Intel HD 4000

Same on Linux Mint 20.1 after update, both 2021 and 2022 versions - same result (and logs). Window frame appears then crash. I think it’s graphics related because xorg and mesa were upgraded, and log shows some x-stuff. Full logs attached.
