    I need to test/demo integration with the Unity editor running on Linux, so tried it inside Parallels on my Mac, but the Unity editor doesn't work. It fails with a message box saying "Failed to initialise unity graphics", and with the following in the log file:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. No matching FBConfig found
    2. GLX Extensions: GLX_ARB_get_proc_address GLX_SGIX_fbconfig GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap
    3. Could not find GLX entry point "glXCreateContextAttribsARB."
    4.  
    5. (Filename: /home/builduser/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Platform/Linux/GLXExtensions.cpp Line: 185)
    6.  
    7. Failed to initialize unity graphics.
    8.  
    9. (Filename: /home/builduser/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Src/Application/Application.cpp Line: 819)
    Am I missing something in my Ubuntu 16.04 set up? I basically installed the VM and the installed Unity. Is there something else I need to install, or am I just out of luck here?

    Has anyone had any luck running the Linux Unity editor in a VM?

    Old post, but I had a similar error after upgrading from fedora 32 to 33, and stumbled on this post while googling.

    I fixed it by reinstalling unityhub and unity itself.

    It's my suspicion that unityhub caches some os files, which leads to breakage when trying to upgrade the video drivers.
