Arch Distro

I've tested the experimental build on Debian and it's a bit buggy but on Arch it won't get passed the account login after initial installation.

Gives this error when attempting to log in to use the editor for the first time

Service not available, please try again later.

 

Some of the Arch/Manjaro users were talking about some work around here http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/unity-on-arch-manjaro-linux.350315/ I glanced over part of it but it looks like there was an issue with Chromium Security triggering the problem some found a work-around if you need it for now.
It also looks like some of the Unity Devs took notice, so hopefully a newer version may be in it's way.

 

Use the aur repository; https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/unity-editor/
It has all the arch-specific fixes in it

 

Please excuse my noobiness, but I'm actually new to linux... just installed arch yesterday. I'm familliar with yaourt and it's build process but I'm getting this error which I don't know how to fix, some insight would be nice.

unity-editor-5.1.0f3/MonoDevelop/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES/monodevelop.mo: Cannot write: No space left on device

Then after a while I get this...

==> Entering fakeroot environment...
==> Starting package()...
sed: couldn't flush /tmp/yaourt-tmp-john/aur-unity-editor/pkg/unity-editor/opt/Unity/sedJDuf4i: No space left on device
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
Aborting...
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build unity-editor.

This appears to be an issue with yaourt... should I just try another aur package manager or is there a way to clear space or increase space for yaourt to do it's thing?

 

This is often attributed to the temp space being used by the package manager. Occasionally a simple reboot will fix this. It's discussed a bit more in depth at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=125989

 

Indeed! Ty very much for linking this article, I see now that how to change the build path if it ends up being necissary, but looking at it closer there is really no reason to change the build path simply to install one package, the reason it's in tmp in the first place is to make things go faster, I did however find a way to get the working version for Arch simply by using wget on the link provided on the aur repo page for the unity-editor package

http://download.unity3d.com/download_unity/unity-editor-installer-5.1.0f3+2015091501.sh

if anyone else is having the same issue just use download this link and run the script with sudo.. then it'll allow you to run the Unity Editor without network errors... the only problem that I'm having now is that it crashes on the project wizard when attempting to add a custom title to the project, I actually had that same problem on ubuntu with wine a few years back so I assume that Unity is aware and I submitted a bug report... but in anycase you can createa project with the default name that it gives you in the wizard.

 

Eeeh...okay. I'd just suggest to download the snapshot from AUR and run makepkg over it and install it with pacman -U, wget on the link wouldn't get you the dependencies and fixes i suppose.

 

@theallmightyjohnmanning if you're already using yaourt the easiest way to install unity with it would be:

Code (csharp):

1. yaourt --tmp=somewhere-with-lots-of-space unity-editor
