Hey, I’m experimenting with a workflow using Unity’s command-line to build games on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. But when it opened my project, it caused segmentation fault.

command line is:

/home/zacc/Unity/Hub/Editor/2018.4.28f1/Editor/Unity -batchmode -nographics -quit -logFile unity.log -noUpm -projectPath /home/zacc/Git/signal-decay

I managed to get the core dump file (with log) as attached.

Log file:

Hi @Ladace . I assume you are using a server install with no GUI?

Do to numerous fundamental changes since 2018.4, you are not going to have great luck with this. With the latest 2020.2+ builds, however, you should have a better experience.

I installed ubuntu desktop, but running it from command line seems to not allow Unity to use GUI APIs. So it should be the case.
