    I've tried a fresh install into another user's home directory, created the missing .local/share/unity3d/Packages directory, run it from /opt/...all to no avail. strace shows it hanging while receiving several EAGAIN messages/second from its socket pointing to /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 :


    Any ideas?

    ETA: This seems to happen before logging begins, because no log is ever generated.

    I got the same/similar bug with a fresh install on a Ubuntu 15.10. There is a npm-debug.log with error messages generated in my home directory. I have attached the file with the file extension txt because it is not allowed to upload files with log extension. I also attached a screenshot.

    It works now after creating the directory .local/share/unity3d/Packages.

    I'm hitting the same problem (on the clean installation) - solution suggested by previous post fixes the problem

    My install is never getting that far. I've found some discussions that indicate it may be an issue with XCB, so I may try using a copy of the relevant library without it just for Unity.

    Update:
    Or it could be the legacy nvidia driver I'm running :-/ Looks like I'll be sticking with 5.2

    My Editor.log was also complaining about not being able to create .local/share/unity3d/Unity. After manually creating both ~/.local/share/unity3d/Packages and ~/.local/share/unity3d/Unity directories, Unity 5.3 starts up and works just fine for me. I'm running Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon by the way.

    Yeah, so I was missing npm; installing that took care of it. 5.3, here I come :-D
