Editor crashes at opening due to chromium's error (2018.4.33f1 LTS and 2017.4.40f1 LTS)

  • Fedora 33, KDE 5.21.3, Mesa 20.3.5

  • AMD Ryzen 5 1500X

  • AMD Radeon RX 460

  • Unity Hub 2.4.3

LTS versions don’t work, but 2020.2.3f1 works fine. The only error in Editor.log is:
../../third_party/tcmalloc/chromium/src/free_list.h:118] Memory corruption detected.
There are no other errors.

No matter what project I open, even if I press “New” button.

Hey ozzee, older versions of Unity and Linux have lots of known issues and I’d highly recommend keeping to 2020+ versions if you can. We removed our dependency on Chromium in sometime 2019.x and it’s very unlikely we’ll get back to fixing issues with it.

Ok, thank you. The only problem I have with 2020.* - the mouse wheel is not working in the editor. Older versions don’t have this problem.

We’ve had a few issues with scrolling that have been recently fixed. Which subversion of 2020 are you on? And how is the scrolling broken? Is there no response or does something else happen?

I’m sorry for the late response.

Now I use 2020.1.7.f1 for my project. And I installed 2020.3.6f1 (the latest LTS) for testing. Both of the versions have the bug. Scrolling works only in the game tab. I mean, I can get the values in code. But in Unity’s UI (inspector, hierarchy, settings, etc.) scrolling does not work.
