    Hello,

    I used UnityHubSetup.appImage on my Kubuntu 18.04.

    When I want to install a Unity version, it wants to download the files in my home folder but it can't because I haevn't enought space.

    How-to change the download folder ?!
    I finded the Editors Folder Location but it's not this...

    EDIT : The software downloads the temporary files in /tmp but when I mount /tmp on a big hard disk, it says 3go available...
    It check the / space available ?
    I don't understand...

    Thank you :)

    Hi hizo76,

    There are two checks for space. One is for the folder that the files are downloaded (and will be removed after) and one for where the editor is installed. The second one, you can set in the preferences, and the first one (for now) only can be changed by mounting the temp folder to somewhere else.

    I hope this explanation helps.

    Best,
    Afshin

    Hi,

    That doesn't work...

    LANG=en df -h /tmp
    Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    /dev/sdi2 1.8T 210G 1.5T 13% /tmp




    My fstab :
    /media/DeuxTera/Download/tmp         /tmp            none        bind        0    0


    So, what is the problem...?!

    Thank you
